What happened to Google Imagen 4?
Google retired the Imagen 4 family (Imagen 4 Ultra, Imagen 4, and Imagen 4 Fast) and the endpoints were removed by every API provider in 2026. Imagen 4 is no longer available anywhere. Its direct successor is Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image), which is available on PixOne for both text-to-image generation and image editing.
What is Nano Banana 2?
Nano Banana 2 is Google's current state-of-the-art image model (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image). It delivers exceptional text rendering inside images, strong photorealism, and fine detail, with output up to 4K. The editing variant accepts up to 14 reference images, making it one of the best models available for identity-preserving edits.
Is Nano Banana 2 better than Imagen 4?
Yes. Nano Banana 2 improves on Imagen 4 across the board: sharper detail, more accurate in-image text (a historic weakness of image models), better prompt adherence, and multi-reference editing that Imagen 4 never supported. It is the same Google image lineage — Imagen 4 Ultra was the previous flagship of this family.
Can PixOne automatically select the best Google model?
Yes. When you enable AI model selection, PixOne analyzes your prompt and automatically selects the optimal model — Nano Banana 2 when Google quality fits best, or a different model family entirely (FLUX, Seedream, Kling, Ideogram) if another one suits your use case better.
How many credits does Nano Banana 2 cost on PixOne?
Nano Banana 2 costs 15 credits per image, for both text-to-image and editing. There are no resolution surcharges at 1K output, and the same flat rate applies to every aspect ratio.
