A launch poster, generated with Nano Banana 2.1

We generated this image on October 8, 2026 with the default 1K setting. The lettering is the model's own output, not added afterwards. This is one real result, not a promise that every run will look the same.

Settings used

Text to image · Nano Banana 2.1 · 1K · 1:1 · PNG. Shown here with blurred side padding to fit the frame; the image itself is square.

Original prompt

Premium product-launch poster on a square canvas. Center-left: a sculpted banana made of polished liquid chrome with iridescent violet reflections, standing upright on a glossy black obsidian pedestal, lit by magenta and electric-violet neon rim light. Behind it and to the right, bold extruded 3D letters spelling exactly "Nano Banana 2.1" in brushed silver with thin purple neon edges, perfectly spelled and legible. Deep black background fading to dark violet, soft volumetric haze, subtle floating light particles, reflective floor. Cinematic studio lighting, ultra-detailed, clean minimalist composition, no other text, no logos, no watermark.

Actual generated image

The chrome banana, the pedestal and the three-line 3D lettering all come from one generation.

Why Nano Banana 2.1

What the model does, and what VidKiss adds

Facts about the model come from Google's announcement; the limits below are what this website actually accepts.

Transparent per-image pricing

Nano Banana 2.1 costs 12 credits at 1K, 20 at 2K and 30 at 4K. It is the default image model on VidKiss.

One model, two workflows

The same Nano Banana 2.1 model handles text to image and image to image, so you can switch between them without changing models.

Multiple reference images

Google says the model can take up to 14 reference images and keep up to four characters and ten objects consistent. On VidKiss you can attach up to 8 reference images per generation.

Readable text in images

Google lists better text rendering among the 2.1 improvements. The tested poster above shows the model setting a three-line title by itself.
