Key Features of Nano Banana

Reference gallery examples from Zanta illustrate visual directions. They are not results verified on this site.

Detailed Scenes and Information Graphics

Give a scene a clear purpose, then specify its objects, signs, layout, and visible relationships.

  • Keep any factual labels short enough to check individually.
  • Check text, proportions, and the final crop at full size.
  • Use a focused brief and change one visible variable when refining the result.

Consistent Subjects from References

Use up to four reference images to guide character appearance, product geometry, or a repeated visual identity.

  • Explain the role of each image rather than leaving them ambiguous.
  • Check text, proportions, and the final crop at full size.
  • Use a focused brief and change one visible variable when refining the result.

Composition for Your Format

Plan a square card, portrait story, or landscape image around the space available in the final placement.

  • Choose a supported ratio and reserve space for the focal subject.
  • Check text, proportions, and the final crop at full size.
  • Use a focused brief and change one visible variable when refining the result.

Products, Photos, and Layouts

Combine an identifiable product with lighting, materials, background, and a restrained typographic hierarchy.

  • Keep the key product details visible and easy to compare.
  • Check text, proportions, and the final crop at full size.
  • Use a focused brief and change one visible variable when refining the result.

Nano Banana Prompt Examples

New starting briefs for the visual directions shown below. The images are reference gallery examples from Zanta, not verified outputs of these prompts.

Bilingual Market Poster

Create a square illustrated community-market poster with lanterns and small food stalls. Exact visible text only: NIGHT MARKET, 夜市, SATURDAY. Use a warm red and cream palette, a clear title area, readable spacing, and one central street scene. No extra copy, real logos, or watermark.

Emergency Kit Diagram

Create a simple flat illustration of a household emergency kit arranged in six labeled groups: WATER, LIGHT, RADIO, FOOD, FIRST AID, MAP. Use clear object silhouettes, cream background, orange and charcoal accents, aligned labels, and generous spacing. This is a visual concept; keep the items distinct and do not invent technical instructions.

Backpack Review Board

Create a product review board for a fictional olive-green hiking backpack. Show a front view, side view, and a landscape campaign scene. Preserve the same strap layout, rounded silhouette, and fabric texture across all views. Soft studio light for the detail views, warm trail light for the campaign view, no text or logos.

Delivery Robot Story

Create a three-panel wordless storyboard of a small red delivery robot with white wheels. First it leaves a depot, then crosses a quiet plaza, then arrives beside a blue doorway. Keep the robot proportions and colors identical, use a clean graphic style, and leave clear space between the panels.

Nano Banana Prompt Tips

Write a production brief that makes the result easy to inspect, compare, and refine.

01 · DELIVERABLE

Name the asset first

Start with the poster, product still, character sheet, diagram, or campaign image you actually need.

02 · LAYOUT

Describe hierarchy and placement

Explain where the subject, copy space, supporting objects, and focal point belong in the frame.

03 · MATERIAL

Use concrete visual evidence

Name surfaces, light direction, lens feel, texture, environment, and the intended finish.

04 · TEXT

Keep visible words short

Quote the required words exactly and review spelling, casing, punctuation, and invented copy.

05 · QA

State the reject conditions

Call out fake logos, extra subjects, source drift, broken anatomy, or an unsafe crop before generating.

Nano Banana Use Cases

Choose the model by the job and review the visible failure mode before you publish.

Campaign-ready stills

Good fit
Product heroes, posters, social images, thumbnails, and landing-page visuals with an inspectable art direction.
Watch for
Review text, logos, product geometry, crop safety, and whether the result actually fits the channel.

Reference-guided edits

Good fit
Carry product shape, character identity, wardrobe, room layout, or material cues into a new visual.
Watch for
A reference guides generation; it does not guarantee pixel-perfect preservation of every source detail.

Concept exploration

Good fit
Compare several controlled visual directions before investing in a polished final or production shoot.
Watch for
Keep prompts and settings comparable so the batch produces a useful decision rather than unrelated images.

Explainers and layouts

Good fit
Create labeled scenes, simple diagrams, boards, packaging concepts, and multi-panel compositions.
Watch for
Plausible-looking labels and structures still require a human accuracy review before publication.

HOW IT WORKS

How to Use Nano Banana

Keep the first pass comparable, then spend more only after the direction is working.

1

Start with the job

Define the asset, audience, format, and one visible outcome.

2

Write a checkable brief

Describe the subject, composition, material, light, motion, and reject conditions.

3

Choose the real model settings

Select only the ratios, sizes, quality tiers, and references supported by this route.

4

Review before export

Inspect the complete result, then change one variable for the next attempt.

Nano Banana FAQ

Practical answers about access, settings, references, review, and output use.

How do I start an image?

Sign in, write a concrete visual brief, choose the available output settings, and check the credit estimate before generating. Your completed images appear in Assets.

Can I try it with free credits?

Eligible accounts can use the credits currently available in their balance. Daily check-in may add credits when enabled. Each generation uses the amount shown in the generator; access is not an unlimited free offer.

Can I upload reference images?

Add up to 4 JPG, PNG, or WebP images. Describe what each image should guide and what needs to remain recognizable. Review the output rather than assuming exact preservation.

Which output sizes and ratios can I choose?

The generator offers 1K output and 1:1, 3:4, 4:3, 9:16, 16:9 framing. Choose from the controls shown and check the updated credit estimate.

How can I improve visible text?

Quote the exact words, keep them short, describe their placement and hierarchy, and review spelling and punctuation at full size. A visually convincing layout may still contain text mistakes.

Why did the image miss part of my brief?

Long or conflicting instructions make a result harder to control. Keep one main subject, state the protected details, and change one visible variable at a time when refining the image.

Are the samples results tested on this site?

These are examples from the reference website, reused for visual comparison. The prompt examples are newly written starting briefs, not the original prompts or a claim that this site reproduced the displayed images.

What should I check before publishing?

Check text, anatomy, product geometry, factual labels, and the final crop. Review the current site terms and make sure you have permission to use any supplied references or recognizable material.

Which Nano Banana version opens here?

Nano Banana Lite opens by default. The model selector also lets you choose the available Nano Banana 2 and Pro variants, with each variant exposing its own supported settings and credit estimate.

How do I keep a character consistent?

Use compatible references when available and repeat the essential face, clothing, proportions, and palette. Inspect each result; consistency is a goal to review, not an automatic guarantee.

When should I compare another image model?

Try another available model when the current result repeatedly misses text, layout, or the defining subject detail. Keep the brief and destination format comparable.
