Social Teams · Draft Daily Posts
Most daily posts are 1K, square or vertical. Draft them on version 2 and keep Pro for the post you plan to boost.
Typical choices
- Daily quote card
- Story background
- Event reminder
- Meme-style reply image
Use your own work as the test instead of someone else's benchmark.
Write the prompt once, generate on Nano Banana 2, then switch the version bar to Nano Banana Pro and generate again. Both results land in My Creations for a side-by-side look.
If the job is a poster, test the headline. If it is a product, test the label and the reflections. Compare the detail that would make you redo the work, not the overall mood.
Drafts can stay on Nano Banana 2 at 1K. Decide which model renders the final at 2K or 4K once you know which one handled your hard part better.
Nano Banana 2 and Nano Banana Pro are both Google Gemini image models, and this page holds them in one workspace. A fair comparison keeps everything but the model the same: identical prompt, identical references, identical resolution and aspect ratio. Generate on Nano Banana 2 first, switch the version bar to Pro, and generate again; the two runs are separate requests, so compare them in My Creations. Each run can differ even on the same model, so if the result is close, run each twice before you decide. Remember that Pro needs a Basic plan, and 4K on either model needs the Pro plan.
Two models and one way to test them.
The default model in the version bar. Open on the free tier at 1K, with 2K on the Basic plan and 4K on the Pro plan.

1K to 4K
Larger sizes on paid plans.
Six References
Guide subject and style with images.
What is the same and what differs, as configured on this site.
Both render at 1K, 2K or 4K.
Both accept up to six reference images.
Both offer nine ratios, including auto.
Version 2 is open on the free tier; Pro starts on Basic.
Pro uses more credits per render than version 2.
Pro is the larger model in the family.
Three groups, two decisions each.
Most daily posts are 1K, square or vertical. Draft them on version 2 and keep Pro for the post you plan to boost.
Run the boosted creative on both models with the same prompt and pick the one whose text and product look right.
Catalog work is volume. Use version 2 with your product photo as a reference for the bulk of colourways and settings.
For the one image on the product page that matters most, test both models at 2K and finish the winner at 4K on the Pro plan.
Early concepts change fast. Version 2 on the free tier or Basic plan keeps exploration cheap while the client decides.
Once the direction is approved, render the final on whichever model handled the detail better in your test, at the size the client needs.
Three actions in one workspace.
Write one prompt, attach the same references, set one size and ratio.
Run version 2, switch the version bar to Pro, run again.
Open both in My Creations and compare the detail your job depends on.
Choosing, costs and why results differ.
Start with Nano Banana 2 because it is open on the free tier. On a paid plan, run your key prompt on both and keep whichever handles your hard part better.
Yes. Both offer 1K, 2K and 4K here, and 4K needs the Pro plan on either model. Resolution alone is not a reason to choose one over the other.
Yes. A 1K image costs 8 credits on Nano Banana 2 and 18 on Nano Banana Pro, and Pro also needs a paid plan.
Generate on one, switch the version bar, generate again with the same settings. They are separate runs, so you compare them yourself in My Creations.
They are different models, and each run also varies. Run each model twice and compare the detail you care about rather than one lucky result.
It depends on the wording, length and layout of your text. Put the copy in quotes and test both; proofread the winner at full size.
Dedicated pages once you have chosen.
Short answer: start with Nano Banana 2, which is open on the free tier, and move to Nano Banana Pro when you are on a paid plan and want a second, larger model on the same brief. Both produce 1K to 4K images from a prompt and up to six references.
