Nano Banana 2 vs Flux 2

Nano Banana 2 is Google's Gemini 3.1 Flash Image model. It creates images from a text prompt and edits existing ones from plain-language instructions — say 'add a sunset glow', 'replace the chair with a throne' or 'remove the background' and it applies the change. Attach reference images and it switches to editing automatically. Nano Banana 2 Lite is a lighter, cheaper variant.

Intuitive Natural Language Editing

Describe the change in plain language and Nano Banana 2 applies it — object swaps, background changes, facial refinements, style shifts.

Text-to-Image Too

Not only edits: describe a scene from scratch and Nano Banana 2 draws it; attach references and it edits instead.

Precision Object & Background Editing

Pixel-level object replacement, background modification, and facial refinement without distortions across iterations.

Physics-Aware Outputs

Edits maintain coherent lighting, natural shadows, and correct spatial relationships — outputs look real, not pasted.

Flux 2 by Black Forest Labs generates images from text and edits them with reference images. Three models cover different needs: Flux 2 Pro for high-quality images with excellent prompt adherence, Flux 2 Flex for flexible style transfer, and Flux 2 Klein for ultra-fast, lightweight generation with LoRA support. Add reference images and Flux 2 switches to edit mode automatically.

Reference-Based Editing

Add reference images to your prompt and Flux 2 switches to edit mode — up to 8 references with Pro and Flex.

Klein: Ultra-Fast Drafts

Flux 2 Klein is the lightweight, fastest Flux variant — built for quick drafts and rapid iteration, with LoRA support.

Pro: Prompt Adherence

Flux 2 Pro delivers high-quality images that follow your prompt closely — a strong fit for photorealistic product shots and marketing visuals.

Flex: Style Transfer

Flux 2 Flex specializes in flexible style transfer — match the look of your reference images or explore creative, artistic interpretations.
