# Nano Banana (+ 🍌 Pro)
## Overview
Revolutionary model that combines generation and editing with exceptional natural language understanding. The model is available in two versions: Standard (Nano Banana) & Pro.
| Models | Nano Banana | Nano Banana Pro |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Best for | Quick cost-effective edits, image fusion, character consistency | Static ads, layout variants, product renders, high-res assets |
| Product rendering | Good | Stellar |
| Typography | Basic | Clean, ad-ready |
| Resolution | 1080p | Up to 4K (configurable 1K–4K) |
### Strengths for marketers
* **Simple, natural language editing**: Make complex edits with simple conversational prompts like "enhance this photo" or "change the background."
* **Multi-image fusion**: Seamlessly blend multiple images into cohesive new visuals for product placement and scene creation.
* **Character consistency**: Maintain the same person or mascot across different scenes and environments.
### Ideal use cases
* **Product placements**: Seamlessly insert products into lifestyle scenes and environments.

* **Static ad creation** *(Pro):* Generate polished ads with clean typography and multiple layout options.
* **Layout variations** *(Pro):* Generate an asset's channel variants in seconds, no rework needed.
### Weaknesses
* Variance in image processing - output quality can be inconsistent across different inputs
* Sensitivity to text prompts - when used with reference images, requires precise wording to achieve desired results consistently
* Limited aspect ratio control based on input images rather than user specification

## How to use effectively
Nano Banana excels with natural, conversational prompts:
### **Key principles**
* Describe the scene, don't list keywords
* Use natural language as if talking to a skilled photo editor
* Leverage multi-image inputs for fusion and reference
* Use preservation instructions: be specific about what you want changed or created (e.g., "identical to the original")
* Take advantage of world knowledge for contextual accuracy
* If using Auto Aspect Ratios:
* driven by text prompt when used as text-to-image
* driven by reference(s) images when used as image-to-image
### **Effective prompting patterns**
For image editing
`Using the provided image of [subject], please [add/remove/modify] [element] to/from the scene. Ensure the change is [description of how the change should integrate]. Keep [specific elements to preserve] exactly the same.`
For image generation
`A photorealistic [shot type] of [subject], [action or expression], set in [environment]. The scene is illuminated by [lighting description], creating a [mood] atmosphere. Captured with a [camera/lens details], emphasizing [key textures and details]. The image should be in a [aspect ratio] format.`
For product photo
`Replace [original product] with [new product] from Image 2. Match hand pose, reflections, and [material] specular highlights. Keep label readable and preserve text legibility. No stylization.`
For character consistency
`"Same face, hair, makeup, and earrings across all outputs. Keep [subject] identical while changing [environment/action]. Maintain facial features, expression, and clothing exactly as shown."`
For photorealistic results
Include details like:
* Camera specs: "85mm portrait lens," "shallow depth of field," "f/2.8"
* Lighting: "golden hour light," "soft window light," "dramatic rim lighting"
* Composition: "close-up portrait," "wide establishing shot," "overhead view"
* Technical details: "bokeh background," "natural grain," "high contrast"
For text editing
`"Change the text from '[original text]' to '[new text]'. Maintain font weight, curvature, perspective warp, and reflections. Keep brand colors identical. No other changes."`
### Example prompts
* **Simple edits**: "Remove the person in the background" or "Make this photo brighter"
* **Reference image integration:** "Place the man from Image 2 next to the woman in Image 1. They are seated together, sharing a laugh as they look at a tablet. Keep the ambient lighting and depth of field from Picture 1. Maintain skin tones consistent with the original scene."
* **Image fusion**: "Place this product in that lifestyle setting"
* **Complex transformations**: "Turn this into black-and-white manga style"
* **Multi-step edits**: "Remove everything except the woman and mic", then "make her a 3D character in an office"
* **Multi-references**: "Make employee badges using this design template and this photo"
* **Control aspect ratio**: "Create a 9:16 Instagram Story version of this ad with neon background and space at top for text."
* **Product photography**: "Replace the black bottle with the green 'HULK' can from Image 2. Match hand pose, reflections, and metal specular highlights. Keep label readable and preserve text legibility; no stylization."
