Nano Banana Pro vs GPT Image 2
Google's image model for consistent characters and edits, against OpenAI's model for sharp text and clean design.
The short answer.
Pick Nano Banana Pro when the same face or product has to come back in every image, or when you edit with several reference images, up to 8. Pick GPT Image 2 when the words in the picture matter: posters, menus, thumbnails and labels.
GPT Image 2 is in Every plan, from Starter. Nano Banana Pro is in Creator and up and offers 7 formats, against 3 for GPT Image 2: square, 3:2 and 2:3.
Pick Nano Banana Pro if…
- The same character or product has to stay identical across a series.
- You edit with words, or combine up to 8 reference images.
- You need wide or vertical formats, not just square and 3:2.
Pick GPT Image 2 if…
- The image has text that must be spelled right: posters, menus, labels.
- You want clean layouts, icons or simple infographics.
- You're on Starter: GPT Image 2 is in every plan.
