Nano Banana
Google's image gen model on fal.ai. Text in images actually looks right, outputs at 4K, and you can blend up to 14 reference images.
About Nano Banana
Nano Banana runs on Google's Gemini architecture, available through fal.ai's API. The main reason to care: it renders text correctly. Character-by-character validation means your social graphics and banners have readable typography instead of the garbled mess most image generators produce. The Pro version thinks before it generates — a reasoning step figures out what you actually want before touching pixels. You get native 4K output, can feed it up to 14 reference images for blending, and characters stay consistent across a batch. Pricing starts at $0.039/image with no subscription. API-only, so no polished UI — but if you're building marketing workflows, that's a feature.
