5 Best Google Gemini Nano Banana AI Photo Prompts: How-To Guide

Last updated on November 29th, 2025 at 03:34 am

You know I have wasted so many long hours on Nano Banana of Google Gemini–and to tell the truth? Majority of the populace are abusing it. They enter some generic term such as make this cool and want to know why everything sounds generic.

The point is as follows: Nano Banana is all too powerful when you are aware of what to request. I am speaking about professional background change, making a human character out of your pet, or designing 3D beefies out of your photos. It is not the tool, but the prompt, the trick.

And now I will demonstrate the 7 prompts actually useable, and the way on how to use them without excessive thought.

Getting Started: What You Need

To begin with- you will have access to Gemini via the web application, mobile, or desktop. The free users receive 100 images per day, which should be sufficient to test. Nano Banana Pro, which offers a superior resolution and text memory, can be had in case you are serious about this, though you can begin with the free one.

Upload your photo. Ensure it is not foggy, otherwise you get misty pictures. That’s it. Now let’s get into the prompts.

Prompt #1: Pet-to-Human Transformation

Pet to Human change is a quite interesting matter, which has already been raised in the introduction, which sort of makes task one explore this theme in more depth and provide more information regarding the issue.

There is a reason why this one became viral. Over this photo of a pet that you have, take a picture:

Paint a realistic picture of a human being depicting a personality of this pet. associate expression- rejoice, presented thereof, if patient, show joy. Maintain the pose. Studio light, natural skin, non dressy or non artistic background.

The rationale behind its success: You are telling Nano Banana exactly how they should feel, how, and what. Not to make my dog a person that is too general.

Knowledge drop: Nano Banana Pro is much more realistic in its skin texture than the original, which means that it works better in the professional setting.

Prompt #2: 3D Figurine Creation

Wish to become one of the collectibles? This prompt nails it:

Designing a concentrated 3D depiction of a figurine of collectible on the basis of this image. Funko Pop in a chibi proportion. Light reflection and plastic texture of glossy texture. Round black display stand. Studio lighting on pure white background.

The point here: giving details of material (glossy plastic) and location of display (the stand, the background). You won’t get anything but a flat and lifeless picture of them without that kind of details.

Prompt #3: Vintage 1980s Style

Nostalgia sells. Use this for retro content:

Make this photo look like a 1980s real-life retro portrait. Warm living room Vintage brown leather sofa. Existence of soft-shadow aspects of light during the golden-hour. Fugitive film, full of dusty spots. The dulled oranges, deepened browns, cozy-yellows. Faded photo album aesthetic.

Pay attention to that way I am piling information up? Brightness, light+ atmosphere, color selections. That is what makes it really vintage rather than old-seeking.

Prompt #4: Video Game Character

Creators of gaming adore this one:

Make this individual look like a 16-bit computer-generated video game character in a classic colored platformer stage. Store face features but pixelated. Bright armour on shiny cyan trims. Retro mountains floating pixel platforms. Bright lines, cartoonish ratios, arcade palette of colors.

You are free to call it either 16-bit or 8-bit or 32-bit according to your choice of time frame. Both produce an extremely different atmosphere.

Prompt #5: Rendering Cultural Outfit.

It is ideal when one wants to write about fashion or cultural appreciation:

Make this somebody a conventional portrait of a silk saree. Maroon gold embroidery, temple jewelry, jasmine in the hair. Fancy palace in the interior with gold lamps and marble archways. Delicate film lighting on the texture of cloths.

Important: Be respectful. Find out the cultural aspects that you are demanding. Nano Banana Pro is more attentive to the fabric authenticity: the original one smoothing out colors.

Effect problem: Split Timeline Effect

Make emotionally compelling storytelling;

Describe a picture of yourself as an adult and the younger version of yourself at age 7 years at a tea party. Small wooden table, small living room with pastel imprinted wallpaper, porcelain teacups. Afternoon sunshine through lace curtaining. Both actually appear to be happy and connected.

Multi-character consistency is the area in which Nano Banana Pro appears to shine the most the free version has difficulties maintaining both the faces consistent.

Background Replacement – Find a picture that exhibits such background replacement successively.

Without using Photoshop, out of this world, professional-like results:

Change the background to a tropical beach at the golden-hour sunset. c.p. preservation of subject–the proportion, the expression on the countenance, the pose. Adjust the lighting direction, add the correct shadow, slight reflection of the skin. Palm trees in the distance, silent sea, orange-pink sky.

The consumerism parameter here: “do not change the subject. Otherwise, Nano Banana could modify your face or clothes and change the background.

Instant Advice You Should Take.

Five changes, not at once: Do not request 5 changes. You will end up with flawed results.

Specific detailed words on lighting: soft, cinematic, golden-hour–these words have more significance than you might have expected.

Use Pro to make text: You are asking to label your image or add text, default text is ugly when made using the original Nano Banana. Pro fixed this.

Hands are problematic, artificial intelligence is not good with fingers yet. In case hands are important indicate their location or crop them.

What to Expect

Its original Nano Banana has a rate of 12-15 seconds per image. Pro is quicker- series of about 10 seconds. In terms of quality, you can expect the results to be realistic and certainly to have surprised me myself the first time I tried them.

Start with these 7 prompts. Copy and paste, and, according to your necessity, amend. Variation between meh performance and how did you do that. knowing what to ask is merely knowing things.

And if you hit the daily limit? This is when you realize you are hooked.
