Google’s Nano Banana Pro: Google’s newly launched Nano Banana Pro model has been making waves in the AI world. Released just last week, the upgraded model delivers sharper text rendering, cleaner characters, and overall more consistent results. Just like the original Nano Banana, this Pro version is already topping multiple benchmarks, and many users are calling it the best AI image generation and editing model available right now.
But there’s one catch — Google has restricted the number of free image generations for non-subscribers. If you don’t have a Google AI subscription (which is currently free for Jio users), you may quickly hit your usage limit. That means creators are already hunting for alternatives that offer more flexibility.
One of those alternatives is turning out to be a major surprise — Adobe Firefly and Photoshop.
Adobe Brings Nano Banana Pro to Photoshop and Firefly: A Huge Upgrade for Creators
Adobe has officially announced that the powerful Nano Banana Pro model is coming to both Firefly AI and Photoshop, opening up a whole new level of creative possibilities.
Here’s what that means:
Up to Six Reference Images
Users can now upload up to six reference images into Nano Banana Pro inside Firefly. The model can merge, refine, and blend elements from all six sources to produce a polished final image.
Smarter Campaign Concepts with Firefly Boards
On Firefly Boards, users can upload text, icons, and images, then ask the AI to visualise them in real-world environments such as billboards, packaging, posters, and more. This means faster brainstorming, quicker concept development, and real-world mockups in minutes.
Photoshop Gets a Major Boost
Nano Banana Pro is now powering Generative Fill — Photoshop’s most famous AI feature. With a simple text prompt, you can:
- Add new objects
- Remove unwanted elements
- Extend backgrounds
- Modify details
- Expand or fill empty spaces
Almost everything becomes possible with just a sentence.
Adobe says this upgrade will allow creators to switch smoothly between AI experimentation and manual editing tools like layers, selections, and masks — all without interrupting their workflow.
As Adobe puts it:
With Firefly and partner models in Photoshop, creative professionals can move seamlessly from generative experimentation to refining results using layers, masks and selections for pixel-perfect editing.
How Many Free Edits Do You Get?
Adobe hasn’t officially mentioned how many free edits users can make with Nano Banana Pro inside Firefly. But in testing, users have reported being able to edit at least three images using the new model without hitting a paywall.
The great part about Firefly is that it also lets you choose the exact aspect ratio you want — such as 16:9, 3:4, square, and more — during both the generation and editing process. This is something you don’t always get when using Nano Banana Pro directly through Google’s Gemini interface.
This small but important feature gives Firefly a noticeable edge, especially for creators who need formats tailored for:
- YouTube thumbnails
- Instagram reels
- Website banners
- Facebook ads
- Product images
A Win-Win for Creators Everywhere
With Nano Banana Pro now available in Adobe’s ecosystem, users get the best of both worlds:
- Google’s powerful AI model
- Adobe’s unmatched editing tools
And since free users are limited on the Google side, having Nano Banana Pro inside Firefly and Photoshop gives creators a more flexible, less restrictive space to experiment.
As AI image generation continues to evolve, partnerships like this hint at a future where models and platforms become more interconnected — giving creators more freedom, more power, and fewer limitations.
If you rely on AI for graphic design, photography, campaigns, or creative brainstorming, this update is definitely one to watch.
