Nano Banana Pro seats five of your people in one picture

Nano Banana Pro is the Pro of Google's two Nano Banana models in our picker. It keeps up to five of your people recognisable in one picture, one more than the other picture models here hold reliably, and every one of the 36 scene pictures in our catalogue came from it, the four below included.

From separate photos to one table

  1. 1

    Open Photo card on Nano Banana Pro

    The button here opens the composer in Standard mode on Photo card with Nano Banana Pro selected. From anywhere else in the app, switch to Standard, choose Photo card and change Model from Auto, which would use GPT Image 2.5 Flare.

  2. 2

    One photo per person, then a seating plan

    Upload one clear photo of each person, or pick them from People, where your saved contacts live (JPG, PNG or WebP, 10 MB at most). Next, write where everyone sits and what they are all looking at: the cake, the candles, the baby.

  3. 3

    Pick 1K or 2K and send

    Choose 2K for anything printed or shown on a big screen. You see the price on the button first, and a failed picture costs nothing. The card can go out by email, SMS or a messenger, or become a short clip before it does.

What our four scene pictures teach about prompting Nano Banana Pro

Look at the four pictures above before you write. In "Hanukkah by the window" three people sit round a lit menorah with sugar-dusted doughnuts and wooden dreidels in front of them, glasses of tea at their elbows and street lights through the window. In "Eid dinner at Grandma's" she sits at the head in a headscarf and an embroidered dress while her son and daughter pass dishes across a table of dates, ma'amoul and baklava, a crescent lantern glowing between them and family photos pinned up among fairy lights behind.

"Bringing baby home" is bright sun on the hospital steps: a newborn with a blue ribbon, a laughing grandmother with a bouquet, balloons overhead and strangers on the steps behind. "Grandparents meet the baby" is a quiet living room, the grandparents leaning in over the mother's shoulders.

Three habits repeat. Everyone has one thing to look at or do together. Every face is turned towards the light. And the objects on the table say which day it is before anyone reads a word. Write your prompt the same way. The people in these pictures are invented; open a scene, add your people's photos, and they take those places.

Count heads first, then pick the model

The quickest way to choose a picture model here is to count the people in the picture. One person: Nano Banana 2 or GPT Image 2.5 Flare will do, and both cost less than Pro. Two to four: start with Flare, our Auto for pictures. We compared the models on real family photos and Flare kept faces best, which is why Auto uses it, and a Flare card takes about 25 seconds.

Five: switch to Nano Banana Pro. A picture here takes up to six people, but past five any model starts to gamble with faces, so for a family of seven, make two cards, one per generation, say.

Then check what else the card needs. Words drawn into the picture, like "Happy 60th, Dad", are a job for GPT Image 2, the model we use for lettering. Loud, saturated party colour is Seedream 5.0 Pro. And if the picture should move, turn the finished card into a short clip with sound.

What Pro does that Nano Banana 2 does not

A fifth face that still looks like them

Our picker tags Nano Banana Pro Up to 5 people and Nano Banana 2 Fast. Both take up to 8 reference photos, but once a fifth person sits down, Pro is our pick for keeping every face: Grandma, Grandpa, your mum and dad and you, with nobody at the end turning into a stranger.

Rooms that look lived in

Every scene picture here came from Pro: a Hanukkah table with doughnuts and dreidels, Grandma's Eid dinner with the lantern lit, the hospital steps with balloons. People sit where people actually sit and look at the same thing, which is what makes a made-up photo believable.

The version for the frame

Nano Banana 2 costs less and suits a quick try. Pro costs more per picture, so it earns its place on the final version: the one printed at 2K for the sideboard, or sent to the whole family on the morning of the day.

One photo per person is enough

You do not need a group shot. Pro works from one clear photo of each person, taken anywhere and in any year: Grandpa's from a cousin's wedding, the baby's from last week. Faces in good light give it the most to hold on to.

Seating plans that work as Nano Banana Pro prompts

One photo for each of the five. Naming each place gives Pro a seating plan instead of a guess, and one shared focus, the cake, keeps five faces calm.

Questions and answers

Up to five, one more than most picture models here hold reliably. A picture can take six people, but past five a face is more likely to drift, so a bigger family is better split into two cards. Nano Banana Pro accepts up to 8 reference photos at once, and one clear photo per person works best.
