Eliminate the garbled text typical of AI imagery. Accurately generate complex layouts—like UI designs, pricing tables, and event posters—with perfect spelling, and translate embedded text directly within the visual output.
A robust reference system tracks subject identity across generations. Analyzing up to 14 inputs, it maintains consistent facial features for up to 5 subjects and stylistic uniformity—perfect for storyboarding and mascots.
Prompt: "a 360 turnaround view of this character, they are standing against a white background."

Generate "Product Hero" shots that place items in idealized environments. The model can render specific SKU names or promotional offers directly onto the product packaging or background signage with perfect legibility.
Maintain strict visual consistency across marketing channels. By using reference blending, brands can ensure their mascots or spokespersons appear identical in every generated social media post or banner ad.
Automate the restoration of historical archives. The model can repair tears, colorize black-and-white photos based on period-accurate color palettes, and sharpen details while respecting the original subject's identity.
We strip away the complexity of API management. Just sign in, select the model, and start creating.
We provide a dedicated infrastructure layer that bypasses the congestion and latency often experienced on public free tiers.
Remove the friction of daily quotas; Somake empowers power users to iterate freely without hitting arbitrary usage ceilings.
No. They are identical. "Nano Banana Pro" is simply the consumer-facing marketing name for the underlying Gemini 3 Pro Image architecture.
To ensure the fastest generation speeds and system stability, Somake currently limits the input to 3 reference images per session.
