Key capabilities

Why creators pick Nano Banana

01

Keep characters consistent

Place the same person, product, or style in new scenes without starting over each time.

“Show the same character arriving at a rainy night market. Keep their face, yellow coat, red backpack, and illustration style consistent.”

02

Blend a few references

Combine photos into one composition — product in a new setting, style transfer, or a unified scene.

“Place the chair from image 1 in the room from image 2 and use the warm color palette from image 3.”
03

Edit in plain language

Ask for natural changes: blur the background, remove an object, shift a pose, or restyle the mood.

04

Fast creative loops

Built for quick iteration when you want to try ideas, then refine what works.

How to get a strong result

Tips for better results

Start with the subject, then add lighting, style, and anything that must stay the same. Upload a reference whenever you want a more controlled edit.

  1. 1

    Be specific

    Clear details beat vague requests — say the subject, setting, and mood you want.

  2. 2

    Talk like a designer

    Describe edits conversationally: “soften the background” or “move the product to a marble counter.”

  3. 3

    Change one thing at a time

    Small steps usually keep faces, products, and layout more stable.

  4. 4

    Reuse strong references

    When consistency matters, keep uploading the same reference images across runs.
