Same Prompt, Both Models

Each pair was generated on this site on October 8, 2026 with the same prompt and input: 1:1, 2K, one image per model. Time is measured from submit to result. The small BANANANANOAI.AI mark is the free-plan watermark.

Text rendering

Prompt: A cozy coffee shop chalkboard menu sign photographed straight on. Hand-lettered white chalk text reads exactly, line by line: "TODAY'S BREW" as the heading, then "Oat Latte $4.50", "Cold Brew $3.80", "Banana Bread $3.20". Warm morning light, wooden frame, a small potted plant beside the sign.

Both models wrote every line of the menu correctly, including the prices. Nano Banana 2 used decorative lettering and added small doodles; Pro kept plain, evenly spaced chalk letters.

Product shot

Prompt: Studio product photo of a matte white ceramic coffee mug with a small yellow banana logo printed on the side, standing on a light oak table. Soft window light from the left, shallow depth of field, clean neutral background, commercial e-commerce style.

Nano Banana 2 added details the prompt did not ask for: a "BANANA BREW CO." label, coffee in the mug and a saucer. Pro stayed closer to the prompt with a plain mug and a clean background.

Photo editing

Prompt: Keep the mug exactly the same, including its shape, color and banana logo. Replace the background with a white marble kitchen counter and a softly blurred espresso machine behind it, and add a thin wisp of steam rising from the mug.

Input: the Nano Banana Pro product shot above, sent to both models. Both kept the mug and logo unchanged and added steam. Pro blurred the espresso machine as asked; Nano Banana 2 kept it sharp and drew unreadable lettering on it.
