What is Nano Banana Pro?

Nano Banana Pro is Google’s advanced image generation model, integrated directly into Manus for creating professional-quality visuals. When you need slides or images that look like they were designed by a studio, Nano Banana Pro generates custom, high-resolution imagery tailored specifically to your content. This transforms Manus from a text-based tool into a complete visual content creation platform, capable of producing presentation decks and graphics that would typically require professional design software and expertise.

Why Use Nano Banana Pro?

Most AI image generators struggle with two critical problems: they can’t render readable text within images, and they can’t maintain visual consistency across multiple outputs. This makes them impractical for professional presentations. Nano Banana Pro solves both:
  • Nano Banana’s text rendering: Crisp, legible text integrated directly into images
  • Manus’s contextual understanding: Consistent artistic direction across entire decks
This enables professional-quality visual content without design skills or expensive software

Not yet, Nano Banana Pro slides are complete images with text rendered directly into the visual. For editable presentations, use Manus’s standard HTML slides instead. But Manus will support this soon. 
Use Nano Banana Pro for high-impact visual presentations (pitches, launches, keynotes). Use HTML slides for data-heavy content you’ll update frequently or need to edit.
Image generation uses credits based on complexity and quantity. Check your Manus plan details for specific credit costs per slide or image.
