What’s Inside
Google’s latest image editing and generation upgrade — nicknamed Nano Banana inside the Gemini app — has rapidly become a viral creative tool. If you want fun and reliable results, these Google Gemini Nano Banana photo prompts will help you transform ordinary photos into polished, shareable visuals: think 3D figurines, retro portraits, game characters, and more. This guide explains what Nano Banana is, how to use these prompts safely, and gives ten ready-made prompt examples you can paste into Gemini or Google AI Studio.
What is Nano Banana
Nano Banana — also referenced as Gemini 2.5 Flash Image — is Google’s newest image edit/generation model in the Gemini app and Google AI Studio. It’s built to preserve subject consistency across edits, blend multiple reference images, and perform targeted local edits. That makes it ideal for photo-based prompts where you want to keep someone’s face recognizable while dramatically changing clothes, style, background, or format.
Where to try it
Use the Gemini app (mobile) or Google AI Studio in your browser, then choose the image tools / “Create images” workflow. Nano Banana options are integrated into the Gemini image UI and can be used with both single-upload edits and multi-image blends. For API or developer usage, see the Gemini image generation docs.
How to Create Nano Banana AI 3D Figurines from Photos for Free
10 ready-to-use Google Gemini Nano Banana photo prompts
- 3D figurine / collectible
Create a 1/7 scale realistic figurine of the subject in the photo. Place the figurine on a desk with a transparent acrylic base and a toy packaging box next to it styled like a premium collectible. Preserve facial features exactly, high-detail texture, photorealistic lighting. - Retro saree portrait (cinematic)
Turn the subject into an iconic Bollywood heroine wearing flowing red chiffon saree, with soft waves in hair and warm sunset lighting. Add a subtle film grain and a vignette for a 90s studio portrait. - Merge photos: candid film shot
Generate a 4K ultra-realistic instant camera image combining the people from the reference images, positioned together with gentle motion blur and uniform warm lighting; preserve facial features unchanged. - 16-bit video game character
Reimagine the subject as a 16-bit pixelated platformer character, keep face recognizable, add a side-scrolling level background, and place the character mid-jump with pixel effects. - Pet action figure
Turn the pet into a plastic action figure with realistic paint finishes, include a mini packaging box and a shelf display, maintain pet likeness. - Holographic futuristic overlay
Transform the primary object into a 3D transparent hologram line-art with neon accents, floating over a dark matte surface in a sci-fi environment. - Try-on outfit swap
Place this dress (image 2) onto the person in image 1, match fabric folds and lighting, maintain correct body proportions and preserve face details. - Nostalgic mall studio portrait
Convert the photo to a retro 90s mall studio portrait with a soft vignette, pastel backdrop, and warm, slightly overexposed film tones. - Sticker pack variant
Create a series of four pop-art sticker-style images derived from the photo: bold outlines, halftone shading, saturated colors, transparent background. - Tea-party with younger self
Generate a photorealistic scene where the adult subject is seated at a tea-party with their younger self; maintain facial likenesses, playful props and warm indoor lighting.
Use these prompts as a starting point — Nano Banana is tuned for consistency, so small prompt edits (style, scale, props) yield wide creative control.
Tips for better results
- Provide explicit composition details (camera angle, lighting, scale).
- Use multiple reference images to keep identity and clothing consistent.
- Start with shorter prompts and iterate — Nano Banana responds well to iterative edits.
