Nano Banana Pro vs Flux
Nano Banana Pro vs Flux-2 Pro in NEIRON: face lock vs poster geometry. Not a reprint of GPT Image vs Flux. Table, no VPN.
GPT Image vs Flux is labels and a punch-list. This fork is “person or layout”. Pro holds a face reference. Flux-2 Pro builds a poster, a cover series, and large type without a passport match.
How we compared
One “keep 100%” portrait and one type-heavy poster with no person in the reference. We scored skin vs geometry. GPT Image stayed in the other table.
Keep the face 100%, outdoor, rim sunset, 3:4. Second run: sneaker poster, large brand name, 3:2, no face.
Table
| Criterion | Nano Banana Pro | Flux-2 Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Face | Best lock in the catalog | Style, not a passport |
| Poster / type | Not why you pick it | Strength of 1K/2K series |
| Person reference | Required if you need “the same” | Optional |
| Price | From 25 credits (2K) | From 8 credits (1K) |
| When not to | A cover pipeline with no face | The client must recognise the person |
Verdict
Hero still with a reference — Nano Banana Pro. Cover series with no person — Flux-2 Pro. A product label is GPT Image vs Flux, not this pair.
Do not burn Pro on every story — version 2 exists for volume. Flux is cheaper to test poster layout.
- Nano Banana Pro: Portrait, outdoor, one-to-one face
- Flux-2 Pro: Poster, series, large type, no reference
