Nano Banana 2.1
Nano Banana 2.1 is the update to Nano Banana 2. Write the scene, add references when the subject should stay close, and render at 1K, 2K, or 4K.
What Nano Banana 2.1 is for
Use it when you want a fast Google image model for music visuals: one prompt, optional references, and an explicit aspect and resolution.
Prompt-led music stills
Describe the subject, setting, light, and mood in one brief. Nano Banana 2.1 turns that prompt into a still for a cover direction, a release post, or an early campaign frame.

Up to fourteen references
Attach reference images when a face, product, or wardrobe should stay close to what you already have. Say in the prompt what must stay fixed. References guide the still; they are not a locked clone.

1K, 2K, or 4K
Pick the size for the surface you are making. 1K is the working size. Move to 2K or 4K when the still needs more detail. This model does not offer a 0.5K size.

Name the frame first
Choose 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, or 21:9 before you generate. Match the frame to a cover, a banner, or a story so the crop is not an afterthought.

A new run, not a region edit
There is no brush and no masked rewrite on this page. If one part is wrong, adjust the prompt or the references and generate again. Each result is a new still.
