Which one to pick
Where each falls short
Nano Banana Pro
- Google names the limits itself: small faces, accurate spelling and fine detail are where visual and text fidelity slip.
- Its real-world knowledge is "extensive but not infallible", particularly for anything data-driven, do not treat a generated chart as a source.
- Advanced edits such as masked editing or a major lighting change can come out looking unnatural.
GPT Image 2.5
- Dimensions must be multiples of 16 on both edges, and total pixels have to land between 655,360 and 8,294,400. The Studio only offers sizes that satisfy that, so you will not run into it, but it is why the size list is what it is.
- The quality setting changes both the reasoning depth and the price, and the difference is not small. It is worth choosing deliberately rather than leaving it.
- The two highest quality settings are not offered in the Studio yet: the provider publishes no price for them.
