Google upgraded Gemini's image-generating chops with Nano Banana and Nano Banana Pro, two new text-to-image AI models, last year. Fun names aside, these models are known as Gemini 2.5 Flash Image and Gemini 3 Pro Image. Google put its best image-generation models in users' hands by making Nano Banana Pro available for three images per day, and consumers are clearly loving it.
Google's vice president of Gemini and Google Labs, Josh Woodward, took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce that users have generated over a billion images with Nano Banana Pro. Woodward noted that this model was only available for 53 days when the major milestone was crossed, signaling that there's significant demand for Nano Banana Pro.
