Tips

How to get the best out of Nano Banana

A few habits that turn a good prompt into a production-ready render.

01

Feed it reference images

Attach images of your character, product or style, and it holds them consistent across every shot.

02

Direct it like an art director

Describe subject, framing, lighting and mood, and spell out in-image text exactly as it should appear.

03

Use it for the images that ship

Rough out ideas fast with a lighter model, then switch here for the shot you'll actually publish.

04

Edit, don't restart

Refine a render by describing the change in plain language instead of regenerating from scratch.

When to use Nano Banana

Best for
Conversion-focused ad creative at scale
Ads with on-image text and headlines that read correctly
Brand campaigns with consistent style across batches
Teams shipping many creative variations each week
Not the right pick for
Quick, throwaway drafts β€” use a faster, lighter model
A radically different art style β€” try another model in the chat
One-off experiments on a budget β€” use a cheaper model

Pro tip for ad-converting images

End every prompt with the target platform and aspect ratio, e.g. β€œInstagram Reels, 9:16, warm daylight.” The model adapts framing, crop and text placement to the format, so the same idea ships clean to every channel.
