There is no supported way to bypass the safety filters in Nano Banana 2, and attempting to do so violates the terms of service. The safety filters are applied at multiple layers of the generation pipeline—at prompt classification, at the generation pass, and at output review—so circumventing one layer does not disable the others. Prompts that are designed to evade detection, use indirect language to request policy-violating content, or encode prohibited requests in unusual formats are still subject to filtering, and accounts that attempt to systematically bypass safety systems are subject to access suspension.
The filters are designed to block a specific set of content categories: sexual content involving minors, graphic violence intended to harass specific individuals, and content that facilitates real-world harm. They are not designed to restrict general creative, commercial, or technical use cases, and the vast majority of legitimate image generation requests go through without triggering any filter. If a prompt you believe is acceptable is being blocked, the issue is usually phrasing rather than subject matter—the filter may be triggering on a word or phrase that pattern-matches against policy-violating content even when the intent is benign. Rephrasing the prompt to describe the desired image more directly and less ambiguously usually resolves these false positives.
For applications that operate in specialized professional contexts—medical imaging, security research, age-verified adult platforms—the API provides a mechanism to apply for adjusted safety filter settings through a formal review process. This process requires demonstrating a legitimate professional use case and agreeing to additional usage restrictions. It is not a bypass of the safety system but a calibration of its sensitivity for contexts where certain content categories have a different risk profile than they do in a general consumer application. Details about the review process are available in the developer documentation under the safety configuration section.
