How to Use Google Nano Banana 2.1 in Any Business

Any business can use it for:

Use up to 14 reference images to keep outputs on brand.

Upload real product photos as references. Never show features your product does not have.

• Versions for each aspect ratio
• Headline text inside the image

Nano Banana 2.1 is also available inside Google Ads. Follow each ad platform’s rules on claims and AI content.

Keep a consistent style so your feed looks like one brand.

Google reports better infographic design and factual accuracy than earlier models. Use it for:

Check every number and word. Use search grounding for real-world facts, then verify them yourself.

• Slide backgrounds and section images
