Google Announces Nano Banana Pro for every builder and business

Today Google has announced Nano Banana Pro, their latest and most powerful image generation and editing model yet, built on Gemini 3 Pro. 

They are bringing Nano Banana Pro to many of the Google surfaces where the original model is already available:

  • Consumers and students: Available now in the Gemini app under the ‘Thinking’ toggle alongside Nano Banana (with limited free quotas before reverting to Nano Banana), in Search’s AI Mode for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the U.S. and in NotebookLM.

  • Professionals: Available to Workspace customers in the Gemini app and in Google Slides.

  • Advertisers: Google is upgrading image generation in Google Ads to Nano Banana Pro to put cutting-edge creative and editing power directly into the hands of advertisers globally.

  • Developers and enterprise: Accessible via the Gemini API and Google AI Studio, and in Google Antigravity; enterprises can use it in Gemini Enterprise and Vertex AI for scaled creation.

  • Creatives: In Flow, the AI filmmaking tool, Nano Banana Pro gives creatives, filmmakers and marketers even more precision and control over their frames and scenes, coming first to Ultra subscribers. 

In addition, Google is expanding their commitment to transparency by launching a new feature in the Gemini app. Users will be able to upload any image and instantly ask if it was generated by Google AI, thanks to their embedded SynthID watermarking technology. As a result, they are removing the visible watermark from images generated by Google AI Ultra tier users in the Gemini app.

Earlier this year we launched Nano Banana (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image). It became the top rated image model in the world, and we were excited to see the overwhelming response from our customers. For enterprises, Nano Banana made it dramatically easier – and more fun – to edit images with natural language and make visuals with consistent characters. 

Today, we’re announcing Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image), our state-of-the art image generation and editing model, in Gemini Enterprise, Google Workspace, and Vertex AI. Nano Banana Pro excels in visual design, world knowledge, and text generation, making it easier for enterprises to: 

  1. Deploy localized global campaigns faster. The model supports text rendering in multiple languages. You can even take an image and translate the text inside it, so your creative work is ready for other countries immediately. 
  2. Create more accurate, context-rich visual assets. Because Nano Banana Pro connects to Google Search, it understands the real world context. This means you can generate maps, diagrams, and infographics that get the facts and details right — perfect for training manuals or technical guides where accuracy matters. 
  3. Maintain stronger creative control and brand fidelity. The model allows you to upload up to 14 reference images, which means you can load a full style guide simultaneously—including logos, color palettes, character turnarounds, and product shots. This ensures the model has the complete context needed to match your brand identity. Need to refine the result? Just describe the change using natural language to add, remove, or replace details. Nano Banana Pro supports up to 4K images for a higher level of detail and sharpness across multiple aspect ratios. 

Nano Banana Pro and Nano Banana are designed to power a complete creative workflow. Start with Nano Banana for high-velocity ideation, then transition to Nano Banana Pro when you need the highest fidelity for production-ready assets.

Supporting your commercial needs: Both models fall under our shared responsibility framework, and you can ensure transparency and responsible use with built-in SynthID watermarking on every generated asset. We’re committed to supporting your commercial needs with copyright indemnification coming at general availability. 

What Nano Banana Pro can do for businesses 

Nano Banana Pro builds on the incredible speed of the original model, but adds the precision needed for businesses. Marketing teams can use it to generate assets that are immediately campaign-ready and on-brand to quickly iterate on ideas, saving hours of manual review, reducing production cost, and allowing your team to focus on strategy and final creative oversight. Designers can now accelerate concepts and prototyping by rendering a 3D image from a simple sketch or diagram. 

Advanced translation and localization: Marketers, you know how important – and difficult – it can be to translate your campaign into another language. Scaling a global campaign traditionally requires massive budgets and coordination with external agencies. Now, you can easily translate and regenerate assets—allowing you to expand your global footprint without expanding your bottom line. 

Search Grounding: Nano Banana Pro can use Google Search to research topics based on your query, and reason on how to present factual and grounded information. 

Advanced composition: Add up to 14 input reference images to combine elements, blend scenes, and transfer designs to create something entirely new. Nano Banana Pro maintains the quality of a developed asset but delivers it in minutes. 

Advanced text rendering: Generate clear, accurate text within images, unlocking use cases for product mockups, posters, and educational diagrams. This could include natural text placement (e.g., wrapping text around an object) and support for various fonts and styles. 

How customers are already using Nano Banana Pro 

Nano Banana Pro is becoming an essential infrastructure layer for the creative economy, powering the design platforms that creatives rely on. By integrating our models directly into their workflows, we are helping industry leaders like Adobe, Figma, and Canva deliver next-generation AI capabilities. Here’s what they have to say about building on our foundation:

 

 

While platforms build the tools, the world’s leading agencies and brands are delivering results. We’re moving from experimentation to enterprise-grade production, where efficiency and performance shine.

Get started 

We’re making Nano Banana Pro available where your teams already work, keeping you in the driver’s seat: 

  • For developers: You can start building with Nano Banana Pro in the Gemini API today in Vertex AI. For those building with Vertex AI, Nano Banana Pro is an enterprise-grade offering that includes Provisioned Throughput, Pay As You Go, and advanced safety filters. 
  • For business teams: Nano Banana is available in Gemini Enterprise with Nano Banana Pro coming soon. Gemini Enterprise is our advanced agentic platform that brings the best of Google AI to every employee, for every workflow. And, starting today, Nano Banana Pro is rolling out to Google Workspace customers in Google Slides, Vids, the Gemini app, and NotebookLM — learn more. 

Award winning Shannon Teen to Represent Ireland in the Technovation Global Semi Finals with Dementia Support App

Chloe O’Loughlin, a 2nd year student in St. Patrick’s Comprehensive School in Shannon, won the Junior category award at the Technovation Ireland Regional Pitch Event (RPE) in AMD’s Headquarters CityWest Dublin. Chloe has been working on an app to help people with dementia since she started the Teen-Turn afterschool program in January. Twelve weeks of mentoring and support led to the big event, with Chloe winning the Junior category. 65 projects from 8 counties and more than 20 schools were submitted to Technovation from Ireland this year. Chloe will now represent Ireland in the semi-finals of the global competition.

This project was particularly personal to Chloe who had a dream to help people suffering with dementia in a simple and easy way. She said: ‘I have relatives with dementia. I see firsthand the effects that it has on them.  I wanted to think of something that would help them.’

It was this initial thought that led her to create and develop her app called Brain Track. “The app features a to-do list, calendar, to keep track of different appointments and allows relatives and caregivers to keep an eye on them.” An additional feature of the app is a profile page where the user or their relatives can input profiles of the people around them including photos and key details about that person. Chloe believes that to be a very important feature for the wellbeing of the person with dementia and a reassurance to their loved ones. “If someone with dementia were to forget someone’s name, they can go into the app and remind themselves of their name, which would save them the frustration of having to ask the person directly.”

Chloe committed to 12 weeks of staying after school with more than 10 other girls in the group to learn to code, develop a business plan and pitch to judges. Her mentor Donna O’Sullivan, who is also a teacher at the school, applauded Chloe for her commitment and dedication to the project and app. “Chloe has shown tremendous dedication and commitment to attending our Teen-Turn sessions after school each week and made superb progress during that time. We are so proud of what she has achieved and grateful to Teen-Turn for their continued support in developing tech skills for our girls.”

Chloe really enjoyed participating in Teen-Turn’s afterschool program and said “I really enjoyed working with everyone in the group. We got tons of different ideas and opinions when putting it all together and it’s great to see how the others projects were coming along.” Chloe also benefited from extra sessions held by Teen-Turn over the midterm in partnership with PayPal and on two Super Session Saturdays where the girls had the opportunity to gain in person mentorship in University of Limerick from academic staff and Immersive Software Engineering students.

On the day of the RPE Chloe said that she was a little apprehensive to pitch to the judges but that she found the experience to be a very powerful one.  “I was very nervous, but the judges were really nice and once I started, I was more excited than nervous. They genuinely wanted to find out more about the app and how it works.” Chloe was overjoyed to take first place on the day, winning a laptop with AMD chip technology, and is looking forward to the next stage of the competition.

So what does the future hold for Chloe and Brain Track? I definitely want to continue with Teen-Turn and with Project Squad and Technovation in the future because I really enjoyed it.’ says Chloe who is very excited at the thought of possibly bringing the app to the market in the future. “I think the app will help people  and I want to continue improving it.” Chloe hopes that she can make the future a little brighter for those with dementia and their loved ones.

Are You Using Adobe Illustrator On A Tablet? Here’s How To Make It Work

Are you a graphic designer who wants to use Adobe Illustrator on a tablet? If that’s the case, it’s crucial to be aware of the best tablets for Adobe Illustrator. 

This article will discuss how you can use Adobe Illustrator on any tablet. We understand that being a graphic designer or an artist looking to start your artistry career, you must be familiar with the best tool. And Adobe Illustrator is one of them. Without further ado, let’s get started!

Adobe Illustrator Compatibility on a Tablet

Several tablet operating systems, including Android and iOS, are supported by Adobe Illustrator. The tablet’s computing capacity must be adequate for the program to function correctly. 

There are many benefits to using Adobe Illustrator on a tablet, including portability and the ability to sketch more naturally and precisely with a pen. In addition, many devices have touch displays that simplify using the app’s various features.

How to Set Up Adobe Illustrator on a Tablet

It would help if you took a few steps when installing Adobe Illustrator on a tablet to ensure everything goes quickly. Follow the steps below:

Step 1: First, download the program from the Adobe website or your tablet’s app. 

Step 2: When the file is downloaded, you can install it by following the on-screen prompts. 

Note: Not all tablets will automatically be compatible with Adobe Illustrator; you can need to update the tablet’s running system or change some options on the tablet itself. 

You can try several things to fix the download process if you run into problems like warning notices or the program stopping. Follow the tips below:

  • Ensure your device has the necessary specs to run Adobe Illustrator before continuing. 
  • You can also attempt upgrading your tablet’s operating system or restarting the program. 
  • If you still have problems after trying these solutions, you can want to call Adobe’s client help.

Tips for Using Adobe Illustrator on a Tablet

For designers and illustrators seeking more freedom and movement in their process, using Adobe Illustrator on a tablet can be a game changer. Here are some suggestions for customizing apps for a tablet’s touchscreen and pen to get the most out of it:

Tip 1: Use the Stylus for Precision

Most tablets include a pen, allowing a more intuitive and accurate sketching experience. Ensure that the pen’s pressure sensitivity and motion features are enabled in Adobe Illustrator.

Tip 2: Use Touch Gestures

Tablets have touch displays that enable you to communicate with applications using movements. Adobe Illustrator recognizes touch movements such as pinch-to-zoom and two-finger press to erase.

Tip 3: Customize the Workspace

Adobe Illustrator enables you to tailor the UI to your specific requirements. Expanding the sections and symbols will make the desktop more visible to a tablet’s touch screen.

Tip 4: Experiment with Different Brush Settings

Adobe Illustrator includes various tools and parameters that can be tweaked to achieve different effects. Experiment with multiple drawing options to determine which works best with the tablet’s touch screen and pen.

How to Customize Adobe Illustrator Settings on a Tablet 

Adapting Adobe Illustrator to a tablet can streamline your processes and help you produce professional-looking designs and drawings faster. Here is how to adjust Illustrator’s settings so that it works better with a tablet:

  • Enabling Touch Workspace – Adobe Illustrator has a tablet-friendly touch desktop option. Select “Touch” from the “Workspace” option to activate this setting. This will streamline the UI and make it more conducive to fingertip input.

 

  • Adjusting the Workspace – Adjusting the workspace is vital. Modifying the height of windows, symbols, and toolbars is part of this process. You can designate a dedicated area to maximize your tablet’s display.

Aside from personalizing the environment, Adobe Illustrator has several tools and features that are especially helpful for tablet users. These are some examples:

Adobe Capture 

Adobe Capture is a tablet software that converts photos into vector drawings that can be used in Adobe Illustrator. This is especially helpful for making drawings on the fly.

Live Shapes and Corners

Live forms and angles enable you to make and modify objects quickly on a touch device. Press and drag to draw a shape, then use touch motions to adjust the edges.

Brushes and Pencils 

Adobe Illustrator includes various tools and pens that can be modified to meet your requirements. Experiment with multiple drawing options to determine which works best with the tablet’s touch screen and pen.

Conclusion

Creating beautiful patterns and images in Adobe Illustrator on a tablet can enhance your productivity. You can use a tablet’s touch screen and pen by assuring interoperability, installing the software properly, and tweaking the UI. 

In addition, Adobe Illustrator’s most helpful tools and features, such as strokes and pencils, live forms and edges, and Adobe Capture, make it simple to create drawings and designs that look like an expert drew them.

DxO PureRAW superbly renders RAW files so you can enjoy even more possibilities with Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom

When used ahead of Adobe solutions or other photo-editing programs, DxO PureRAW automatically removes digital noise and other lens defects.

Harnessing exclusive technologies developed over nearly twenty years by DxO, one of the world’s leading photo-editing software creators, DxO PureRAW removes noise, chromatic aberrations, unwanted vignetting, distortion, and insufficient sharpness with an unprecedented level of quality. By improving RAW images in this way, DxO PureRAW offers photographers greater creative freedom when editing in Photoshop and Lightroom. The result is a more precise and less constrained editing process.

Zero compromise between preserving details and removing noise 

Say goodbye to juggling tedious compromises between preserving detail and removing noise in Photoshop and Lightroom. Using DeepPRIME artificial intelligence, DxO PureRAW automatically removes digital noise with an exceptional level of quality.

 

DxO DeepPRIME technology is an artificial intelligence designed for developing RAW photo files. Trained through deep learning using millions of images analyzed by DxO’s laboratories, it delivers a revolutionary improvement to digital noise reduction while also demosaicing photos more effectively. 

 

Using a traditional approach, these two operations are performed separately, with each one introducing defects that degrade the quality of the other. With deep learning, DeepPRIME adopts a holistic approach that combines these two steps into one. The information in the photo is rendered beautifully, especially in low light, noise is visibly reduced, color details are better preserved, and transitions are more even and natural.

Improve even top-notch lenses

Thanks to the custom optical modules developed by DxO, DxO PureRAW automatically scrubs RAW images of the residual defects, including distortion, unwanted vignetting, chromatic aberrations, and a lack of sharpness, produced by even the best lenses on the market. The software provides Photoshop and Lightroom users with a flawlessly clean slate for retouching and editing in other solutions.

 

Since its founding in 2003, DxO Labs has earned an international reputation for measuring and calibrating hundreds of cameras and thousands of lens using a protocol that is more precise than any other in the industry. DxO has measured the defects created by thousands of lens/camera combinations in RAW images with an extraordinary level of scientific precision for each piece of equipment and in every situation. This in-depth knowledge of the flaws and performance of each piece of photography equipment is compiled in a database of over 60,000 combinations and is the secret to why DxO PureRAW delivers the best corrections in the industry.

A new life for RAW photos 

DxO PureRAW lets users revisit unusable RAW images taken with equipment that has since become obsolete. Photos are instantly made to look like they were taken with the most recent technology, and limitations on ISO values are a thing of the past.

Perfection is in the details

DxO PureRAW richly and accurately reveals details in RAW files, resulting in crystal-clear images that capture every last texture. Photographers can enlarge images without worrying about decreasing the quality.

Soft, non-grainy bokeh

DxO PureRAW removes the “parasitic” grain that all cameras produce in unfocused areas and solid backgrounds. DxO PureRAW processes every part of the image and uses smart technology to differentiate between ultra-sharp areas and bokeh effects.

Incredibly simple to use

DxO PureRAW can be easily incorporated into photographers’ workflow ahead of Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, or any other photo-editing software. That way, users can keep their same editing environment. DxO PureRAW couldn’t be easier to use: Users simply select their images from the software’s browser window or use the drag-and-drop feature, then choose their desired level of denoising and where they want to save the file. Zero sliders or complicated settings required!

Price and availability

DxO PureRAW (Windows and macOS) is now available for download on the DxO website (https://shop.dxo.com/) for a special launch price of £79.99 instead of £115 until May 31, 2021. A free 30-day trial version is also available: https://www.dxo.com/dxo-photolab/download/.
