10 Prompts You Can Use for Nano Banana Images
Task 1: Creating Realistic Images
Prompt template: A lifelike [shot type] of [subject], [action or expression], set in [environment]. The scene is lit by [lighting style], building a [mood] atmosphere. Captured with [camera/lens details], highlighting [important textures and details]. The image should follow a [aspect ratio] format.
Result:
Example prompt: A lifelike medium shot of a young girl sitting on a wooden bench beside a window, watching a butterfly dance just outside. The setting is a warm and cozy room with an open book resting on her lap, while summer greenery can be seen through the window. Soft golden sunlight filters into the room, adding a calm and dreamy feel. Captured with a 50mm f/1.8 lens on a full-frame camera, the focus is on the gentle texture of her hair, the wooden bench, the butterfly’s wings, and the light falling across the book’s pages. The final image should be in a 16:9 ratio.
Tip: Once you generate this image, you can take it a step further. Try editing it by replacing the girl with your own picture or another subject of your choice. This way, you can personalize the output while keeping the same beautiful atmosphere.
Task 2: Sequential Art (Comic Panel / Storyboard)
Prompt template: A single comic panel in a [art style] style. In the foreground, [character description and action]. In the background, [setting details]. The panel contains a [dialogue or caption box] with the text “[Text].” The lighting sets a [mood] tone. [Aspect ratio].
Result:
Example prompt: A single comic panel in a colorful, cartoon-inspired Illumination style. In the foreground, two Minions are side by side—one scratching his head in puzzlement while the other holds a glowing futuristic banana labeled “Nano Banana.” The background shows a quirky lab filled with banana gadgets, test tubes, and doodles on a whiteboard where bananas transform into odd high-tech inventions. A dialogue bubble says: “Banana? … Nano Banana?? Whaaat?!” The lighting gives the scene a playful and curious feel. Aspect ratio: 4:3.
Tip: To build a full story, follow up with another prompt like this: “Create the next panel where the same Minions are now sitting at a computer, reading about Nano Bananas on the screen.” By repeating this process, you can generate a sequence of panels that turn into a complete comic strip.
Task 3: Stylized Illustrations and Stickers
Prompt template: A [style] sticker of a [subject], showing [key characteristics] with a [color palette]. The design should use [line style] and [shading style]. The background should be plain white.

The palette blends metallic silver with neon shades of blue and green. The design features bold outlines and flat shading to make it sticker-friendly. The background remains white.

Lighting is set up with a three-point softbox to highlight the richness of the beans and cast natural, soft shadows. The camera is angled slightly low and front-facing to keep the jar in focus while capturing the scattered beans on the surface. The final image is ultra-realistic with sharp focus on the glass jar and glossy bean textures. Aspect ratio 4:5.
Tip: These kinds of prompts are especially useful for creating professional-looking product images that you can use in online stores, ads, or social media promotions.

Tips for Using Nano Banana
I have tried almost every new image generation model out there, but the results from Gemini 2.5 Flash, also known as Nano Banana, stand out every time. The images look sharper, edits are faster, and adjustments are easy to make. Still, Nano Banana is powered by an LLM, which means your results depend heavily on how you prompt it.
Here are a few practical tips to help you get the most out of it:
Tip 1: Be Clear About What You Want
The more specific you are, the better the output. State exactly what should appear in the image and how it should look.
Example prompt: Create an image of a sky-blue T-shirt with white hydrangea prints, paired with white ripped jeans, transparent heels, a dark blue shoulder bag, and Harry Potter–style sunglasses. The outfit should be arranged like a styled fashion flatlay, shot from the front in a Pinterest-inspired aesthetic.

Tip 2: Break Requests Into Steps
If you want multiple edits in the same image, split them into simple instructions. This avoids confusion and gives you cleaner results.
Example prompt: Apply the following edits step by step:
- Replace the man in the image with a woman, keeping the same pose and expression.
- Change the background to light pink and red shades.
- Add the text “Introduction to” at the top of the picture.
Result:
Tip 3: Add Plenty of Detail
Nano Banana is smart but not imaginative. If you want high-quality results, don’t leave gaps in your description—spell out the important details.
Example prompt: Design a product catalog for “Phoney” showcasing its smartphones.
- Cover page: Include the Phoney logo and tagline “Innovation in Your Hands.” Use a minimalist design with a hero image of the newest phone.
- Product pages (one per model): Show the phone name, a clean product image, bullet points for features (screen size, camera, battery), color options, and pricing. Add a CTA button like “Buy Now.”
- Design style: Use a grid layout, Phoney’s brand colors (black, white, and accents), modern sans-serif fonts, and simple icons.
Result:
Keep these points in mind while prompting Nano Banana. With the right level of clarity and detail, you’ll unlock its full creative potential.
