How the three images were made
One prompt, three requests. Each request carries the same prompt and the same 1:1 aspect ratio. Only the resolution changes.
One attempt each. Every image is shown as it came back. None was re-rolled or replaced.
Made through the Rendergrid API. The prompt is printed with the images, so you can repeat the request yourself.
One prompt, three resolutions
A low oak side table holds an unlit ceramic lamp with a linen shade in a quiet plaster-walled room. Side daylight reveals wood grain, shade weave and fine plaster texture. Use a square view showing the whole table and lamp centrally, with open space around them. No lettering, logos, people, or watermarks.
Nano Banana Pro
nano-banana-pro · 1K · 1:1 · $0.04
Nano Banana Pro, 1K, 1:1, one attempt. A low oak side table with a thick slab top and two solid slab legs joined by a low crossbar with a visible wooden peg. On it stands a matte cream ceramic lamp with a woven shade. The lamp looks unlit, and the weave of the shade and the grain of the wood are visible. Behind them is the corner of a plaster room with smooth, softly mottled walls, and the floor is pale. Table and lamp are centered from side to side but sit about 12% of the frame’s height below its center, so there is more empty space above them than below; the prompt asked for the group to be centered. The image is 1,024 by 1,024 pixels. Apart from that, no defect is visible at this size.
Nano Banana Pro
nano-banana-pro · 2K · 1:1 · $0.04
Nano Banana Pro, 2K, 1:1, one attempt. A low oak bench-style table with a thick top, splayed legs with visible pegged joints, and a lower stretcher between them. On it stands a matte beige clay lamp with a woven shade; the lamp looks unlit, and the weave of the shade is visible. The walls are smooth plaster, and the wall at the left edge is brighter than the rest. Table and lamp are centered from side to side but sit about 10% of the frame’s height below its center, with open space above and on both sides and a pale floor in front. This is a different table, lamp, and wall from the 1K image, because each resolution was a separate request. The image is 2,048 by 2,048 pixels. No other defect is visible, but the placement departs from the prompt, which asked for the group to be centered.
Nano Banana Pro
nano-banana-pro · 4K · 1:1 · $0.07
Nano Banana Pro, 4K, 1:1, one attempt. A low, wide oak table with a thick top and square legs joined by lower rails stands in a shallow recess of rough plaster walls. The lamp has a brown stoneware base with a mottled glaze and a shade with a coarse weave; it looks unlit. Table and lamp are centered from side to side but sit about 12% of the frame’s height below its center, with open space around them. The table, the lamp, and the walls differ from the 1K and 2K images, because each resolution was a separate request. Viewed at half size (the image is 4,096 by 4,096 pixels), the wood grain, the weave of the shade, and the relief of the plaster can be made out. No other defect is visible, but the placement departs from the prompt, which asked for the group to be centered.
The three images are separate generations, not one image at three sizes: the table, the lamp, and the wall differ in each. All three follow the prompt’s subject, one lamp on a low oak table in a plaster-walled room, and none shows lettering, logos, people, or a watermark. In all three the group is centered from side to side but sits below the middle of the frame, which departs from the prompt’s central placement. Because the scenes differ, the images cannot show what a higher resolution adds to your own prompt. They show what each request returned.
Run your own prompt at each resolution before you choose one.
Why does a failed request cost nothing?
Rendergrid charges the price when it accepts your request, before any work starts. If the image cannot be created, the charge goes straight back to your balance automatically, and you do not need to ask for anything. Both the charge and the refund appear in your transaction history in the portal.
A new attempt after a failure is a new request, charged like any other; the failed one has already been refunded. You pay only for successful generations. For the details, read how a failed request is refunded.
Where does this comparison not fit?
- Three images are not a benchmark. Each resolution was one attempt, and the scene differs between them. Try your own prompts before you choose.
- One subject only. A still life with no lettering says nothing about posters, text in images, or edits.
- Prices change. The figures here are read from the live price list; the pricing page lists every model and resolution.
- One model, one rate. Only Nano Banana Pro is compared, against Google’s standard rate. For Nano Banana 2.1, see the Nano Banana 2.1 price article.
- Taxes. Rendergrid’s prices are without taxes.
