These are 40 complete, paste-ready image prompts for Nano Banana — Google's Gemini 3 Pro Image model (Nano Banana Pro) and its text-strong sibling Nano Banana 2. Each one is written as a full creative-director brief: subject, framing, lighting, lens, and style, with an aspect-ratio line (and 2K/4K where it helps) built in. Drop any of them straight into the Gemini app or the API and adjust the bracketed details.

Photorealistic portraits & people

Seven prompts for believable faces. Vary the lens and lighting to change the mood, and add up to 14 reference images when you need the same person across shots.

1. Studio Headshot on Seamless Grey

A professional studio headshot of a [woman in her 30s with shoulder-length dark hair], from the chest up, facing slightly off-camera with a calm, confident expression. She wears a [charcoal blazer over a white shirt]. Lit with a classic three-point softbox setup and a soft rim light separating her from the background. Seamless medium-grey backdrop. Shot on 85mm f/1.8, shallow depth of field, crisp catchlights in the eyes, natural skin texture with visible pores. Photorealistic, color-accurate. Aspect ratio 4:5, 2K.

Why it works: The three-point softbox setup plus an 85mm lens is the real studio-portrait recipe, and asking for visible pores and catchlights stops the skin from going plastic.

2. Golden-Hour Environmental Portrait

An environmental portrait of a [bearded man in his 40s, a woodworker] standing in his workshop doorway at golden hour. Warm golden-hour backlighting rakes through the doorway with long shadows and a soft lens flare; his face is filled by gentle bounced light. He looks directly at the camera, relaxed, sawdust on his apron. Shot on 35mm f/2, medium depth of field so the tools behind him stay softly legible. Warm, filmic color grade. Aspect ratio 3:2, 2K.

Best for: Storytelling portraits where the setting matters — the 35mm lens keeps enough context to read the environment.

3. Chiaroscuro Black-and-White Portrait

A dramatic black-and-white portrait of an [elderly woman with deep laugh lines], three-quarter view, emerging from near-total darkness. Chiaroscuro lighting: a single hard key light from the upper left carves harsh high contrast across half her face while the other half falls into shadow. Every wrinkle and texture rendered sharply. Shot on 50mm f/2, tight head-and-shoulders framing. Fine-grain monochrome film look. Aspect ratio 4:5.

Why it works: Chiaroscuro with a single hard key is the classic dramatic-portrait lighting, and the harsh contrast is exactly the language Nano Banana responds to for mood.

4. Candid Street Portrait

A candid street portrait of a [young musician] mid-laugh on a rainy city sidewalk at night. Neon signs reflect in the wet pavement and cast magenta and cyan rim light across her shoulders; the streetlights create bokeh behind her. Caught off-guard, natural motion, slight grain. Shot on 35mm f/1.4, shallow depth of field, documentary style. Aspect ratio 3:2.

Best for: An unposed, cinematic street look — the wet-pavement neon reflections do most of the mood work.

5. Beauty Close-Up with Freckles

An extreme beauty close-up of a [model with heavy freckles and green eyes], filling the frame from eyebrows to lips. Soft, even beauty-dish lighting from directly in front for flattering shadowless skin, with a subtle reflector fill under the chin. Dewy, natural skin with every freckle and fine hair visible, glossy lips, sharp eyelashes. Shot on macro 100mm f/4. Editorial beauty photography. Aspect ratio 1:1, 4K.

Why it works: A beauty dish plus a macro 100mm is how cosmetic close-ups are actually lit and shot, and 4K keeps the freckle-level detail crisp.

6. Corporate Team Portrait

A relaxed corporate group portrait of [five colleagues] standing in a bright modern office with floor-to-ceiling windows. Soft overcast diffusion from the windows gives even, flattering light with no harsh shadows; a subtle fill keeps faces bright. Everyone in smart-casual attire, natural smiles, varied heights arranged in a loose staggered line. Shot on 35mm f/4 so all faces stay sharp. Clean, professional, true-to-life color. Aspect ratio 16:9, 2K.

Best for: Team and about-page shots — f/4 keeps every face in focus while the window light stays flattering.

7. Cinematic Character Portrait

A cinematic character portrait of a [weathered airship captain in a leather coat], upper body, standing on a fog-wrapped deck at dawn. Cool blue ambient light with a warm practical lantern glow from frame-left acting as rim light; volumetric fog catches the beams. Determined expression, wind in the hair. Shot on 50mm f/1.8, teal-and-amber color grade, filmic depth. Aspect ratio 21:9.

Why it works: The teal-and-amber grade plus a warm practical rim light in cool fog is the movie-still look, and 21:9 gives it the widescreen frame.

Product & commercial

Seven prompts for clean, sellable product images. For a full library of these, see the product photography collection.

8. Floating Product on Seamless Background

A commercial product shot of a [matte-black wireless earbud case] floating in mid-air, centered, with a soft drop shadow implied below. Clean three-point studio lighting with a large softbox key and two rim lights defining the edges; a gentle gradient from light grey to white behind it. Sharp focus across the whole product, no reflections on the lens, true material color. Shot on 100mm macro f/8 for edge-to-edge sharpness. Minimalist e-commerce style. Aspect ratio 1:1, 2K.

Best for: Marketplace and hero images — f/8 keeps the whole product sharp and the seamless gradient reads as premium.

9. Cosmetic Bottle with Water Splash

A dynamic cosmetics ad: a [frosted-glass serum bottle] standing upright as a crown of clear water splashes around it, frozen mid-motion with sharp droplets. Cool, clean studio lighting with a bright rim light catching the glass edges and a soft gradient teal background. Crystal-clear frozen water, high-speed flash look, ultra-sharp droplets. Shot on 100mm macro f/11. Premium beauty advertising. Aspect ratio 4:5, 4K.

Why it works: The frozen high-speed-flash splash plus rim light on the glass edges is the signature cosmetics-ad technique, and 4K holds the droplet detail.

10. Food Hero Shot

An appetizing hero shot of a [stacked cheeseburger with melting cheese and fresh toppings] on a slate board, 45-degree angle. Warm, directional side lighting with a soft fill to reveal steam and texture; a hint of golden-hour warmth. Glistening sauce, sesame seeds sharp, garnish crisp, background softly blurred. Shot on 50mm f/2.8, shallow depth of field. Editorial food photography, mouth-watering. Aspect ratio 4:5, 2K.

Best for: Menus and delivery apps — directional side light is what makes food look textured and fresh rather than flat.

11. Sneaker on a Concrete Plinth

A hero product shot of a [white high-top sneaker] displayed on a raw concrete plinth, three-quarter angle. Dramatic single hard key light from the upper right casting a crisp defined shadow, cool grey studio background with a subtle vignette. Every stitch, lace, and texture sharp; true material color. Shot on 85mm f/8. Bold streetwear advertising style. Aspect ratio 3:2, 2K.

Why it works: A single hard key on a concrete plinth gives sneakers the sculptural, editorial look brands use, with a shadow that grounds the shoe.

12. Flat-Lay Product Grid

A top-down flat-lay of a [men's travel kit: watch, wallet, sunglasses, passport, pen, notebook] arranged in a neat grid on a warm linen surface. Soft, even overcast diffusion from above for shadowless clarity, gentle natural shadows only. Balanced negative space, tidy alignment, muted earthy palette. Shot straight down on 50mm f/5.6. Clean lifestyle-brand flat-lay. Aspect ratio 1:1, 2K.

Best for: Bundle and gift-set imagery — even overhead diffusion keeps every item legible with no distracting shadows.

13. Drink with Condensation Macro

A macro shot of a [chilled glass bottle of craft cola] beaded with fresh condensation, ice-cold, on a dark wet slate. Cool backlighting rims the bottle and makes the water droplets glow; deep shadows for contrast. Razor-sharp droplets, crisp label, rich color. Shot on 100mm macro f/5.6, shallow depth of field with the label plane in focus. Premium beverage advertising. Aspect ratio 2:3, 4K.

Why it works: Backlighting the condensation makes the droplets glow — the trick that sells "ice cold" — and the macro lens keeps the label sharp.

14. Lifestyle Product in Use

A lifestyle shot of a [person's hands holding a ceramic coffee mug] at a sunlit kitchen table, steam rising. Soft golden morning light streaming from a window on the left with long gentle shadows; warm, cozy palette. The mug and hands sharp, background of the kitchen softly blurred. Shot on 50mm f/1.8, shallow depth of field, authentic candid feel. Aspect ratio 3:2, 2K.

Best for: Showing scale and context — putting the product in real hands and light makes it feel used, not staged.

Logos, text & posters

Seven prompts where words matter. Wrap the exact text in "quotes", keep it short, and name a font — and prefer Nano Banana 2 for the sharpest text. More in the logo collection and text & posters collection.

15. Minimalist Wordmark Logo

A minimalist wordmark logo reading "LUMEN" in a clean geometric sans-serif similar to Futura Bold, letters evenly spaced, deep navy on a flat off-white background. Perfectly centered, generous margins, crisp edges, vector-clean with no texture or shadow. Simple, timeless, brandable. Aspect ratio 1:1.

Why it works: The exact word is in quotes, kept to one short ALL-CAPS token, and a specific font is named — the three habits that make Nano Banana spell logos correctly.

16. Emblem Badge Logo

A vintage circular emblem logo for a coffee roaster. Inside a clean double-ring badge, the text "NORTH ROAST" curves along the top in a bold condensed serif, with "EST. 2026" in small caps along the bottom. A simple line-art mountain sits in the center. Two-color design, deep forest green and cream, flat vector style, symmetrical, crisp. Aspect ratio 1:1.

Best for: Badge and crest logos — putting each text string in its own quotes and naming its weight keeps the curved type readable.

17. Event Poster with Headline

A bold music-festival poster. Large headline text "NIGHT WAVES" set in a heavy condensed sans-serif at the top, and a smaller line "JULY 2026" beneath it. Behind the type, a vibrant sunset-gradient sky over a silhouetted crowd with hands raised. High contrast, punchy magenta-to-orange palette, modern gig-poster design, clean legible typography. Aspect ratio 2:3, 2K.

Why it works: The headline instruction sits near the start of the prompt and stays under five words, which is the reliable zone for crisp poster type.

18. Quote Typography Poster

A minimalist typography poster with the phrase "STAY CURIOUS" centered in a large elegant serif similar to Playfair Display, deep charcoal letters on a warm cream background. Subtle thin underline accent in muted gold. Lots of negative space, gallery-print aesthetic, perfectly centered, crisp edges. Aspect ratio 4:5, 2K.

Best for: Wall-art and quote prints — a short two-word phrase in one named serif renders cleanly and prints well at 2K.

19. Product Packaging Label

A product packaging design for an artisan honey jar. On a kraft-paper label, the brand name "GOLDEN HIVE" in a warm hand-drawn script sits above the word "RAW HONEY" in a clean bold sans-serif, with a small line-art bee illustration between them. Amber-and-black palette, natural organic aesthetic, realistic label mockup wrapped on a glass jar, soft studio lighting. Aspect ratio 4:5, 2K.

Why it works: Separating the script brand name from the sans-serif descriptor — each in its own quotes — lets the model handle two type styles without garbling either.

20. Neon Sign Storefront

A glowing neon sign mounted on a dark exposed-brick wall reading "OPEN LATE" in warm pink cursive neon tubing, with a small teal neon crescent moon beside it. The neon casts colored glow and soft reflections on the brick; slight haze in the air. Night-time, moody, photorealistic, shallow depth of field. Shot on 50mm f/1.8. Aspect ratio 3:2, 2K.

Best for: Cafe, bar, and social imagery — the colored glow spilling onto the brick sells the neon as real light, not a sticker.

21. App Icon on a Grid

A modern app icon: a simple rounded-square tile with a soft diagonal gradient from indigo to violet, featuring a single clean white line-art paper-plane glyph centered inside. Subtle inner glow, crisp edges, no text, flat modern iOS style, rendered on a plain light-grey background. Aspect ratio 1:1, 2K.

Why it works: Keeping the icon text-free and describing one centered glyph avoids the clutter that makes small icons unreadable.

Photo editing & restyling

Seven conversational-edit prompts. The pattern: attach your image, describe only the change, and state exactly what must stay identical. See the full photo editing collection for more.

22. Change the Background, Keep the Subject

Using the attached photo, replace the background with a softly blurred sunlit park. Keep the person's pose, expression, clothing, hair, skin tone, and the lighting on them exactly the same — only the background changes. Match the new background's light direction to the existing light on the subject so it looks natural, with a realistic soft shadow. Aspect ratio same as the original.

Why it works: Naming everything that must stay identical — pose, clothing, lighting — is the conversational-edit habit that stops Nano Banana from redrawing the person.

23. Recolor One Object Only

In the attached image, change only the color of the jacket to deep burgundy. Keep the fabric texture, folds, shadows, the person, the background, and all lighting exactly the same. Do not alter anything except the jacket's color. Preserve the original resolution.

Best for: Product and wardrobe variants — "change only… keep everything else the same" isolates the edit to a single object.

24. Restore an Old Photo

Restore this old damaged photograph. Remove the scratches, creases, dust spots, and water stains, and repair the torn corner. Gently reduce noise and sharpen fine detail while keeping it fully photorealistic. Preserve the original faces, poses, clothing, and composition exactly — do not change anyone's features. Keep it black-and-white as in the original. Output at 2K.

Why it works: Restoration only succeeds if faces are locked, so the prompt explicitly forbids changing features while listing every defect to repair.

25. Remove a Distraction

From the attached photo, remove the [trash can and the stray person] in the background and cleanly fill the space with matching scenery. Keep the main subject, foreground, colors, and lighting exactly the same. Make the fill seamless with consistent texture and perspective so there is no visible trace of the removed objects. Preserve the original aspect ratio and resolution.

Best for: Cleaning up travel and real-estate shots — describing the seamless fill keeps the patch from looking smudged.

26. Restyle a Photo as Film

Restyle the attached photo to look like it was shot on Kodak Portra 400 film: warm skin tones, soft muted colors, gentle grain, slightly lifted shadows, and a subtle halation glow on highlights. Keep the composition, subject, pose, and all objects exactly the same — change only the color grade and film texture. Preserve the original aspect ratio.

Why it works: Naming a specific film stock gives the model a concrete grade to match, and restricting the change to color and grain protects the underlying image.

27. Add a Product to an Empty Scene

Using the two attached images — the first is an empty marble kitchen counter, the second is my product bottle — place the product naturally on the counter, standing upright and slightly right of center. Match the scene's lighting direction and add a soft realistic shadow and a faint reflection on the marble. Keep the product's label, shape, and colors identical to the reference. Do not change the background scene. Aspect ratio 3:2, 2K.

Best for: Compositing with reference images — telling the model which attachment is the scene and which is the subject keeps the label true.

28. Relight a Portrait

Relight the attached portrait with warm golden-hour side lighting coming from the left, adding a soft rim light on the right edge of the face and hair. Keep the person's identity, pose, expression, clothing, and background exactly the same — change only the lighting and the resulting shadows so they look physically natural. Photorealistic. Preserve the original resolution.

Why it works: Relighting is a change to shadows only, so locking identity, pose, and background keeps it a lighting edit instead of a fresh portrait.

Art, illustration & 3D styles

Six prompts for non-photographic looks. Name the medium precisely — watercolor, claymation, flat vector — so the whole image commits to one style.

29. Watercolor Illustration

A loose watercolor illustration of a [quiet coastal village at dawn], painted with soft wet-on-wet washes, visible paper texture, gentle color bleeds, and delicate ink line accents. Muted pastel palette of soft blues, sandy beige, and dusty rose, with plenty of white paper showing through. Hand-painted, airy, storybook feel. Aspect ratio 3:2.

Why it works: Watercolor-specific language — wet-on-wet, paper texture, color bleeds, white paper showing through — commits the model to a real painting look instead of a filtered photo.

30. Isometric 3D Miniature Room

A cute isometric 3D miniature of a [cozy home office], rendered as a tiny cutaway diorama floating on a plain background. Soft studio lighting with gentle ambient occlusion, clean pastel colors, rounded low-poly furniture, tiny detailed props. Sharp render, soft shadows, tilt-shift miniature feel. Blender-style clay render. Aspect ratio 1:1, 2K.

Best for: App illustrations and explainer visuals — the isometric miniature-diorama style reads as clean and modern at any size.

31. Flat Vector Character

A flat-design vector illustration of a [friendly scientist character] holding a beaker, front-facing, simple geometric shapes, bold clean outlines, limited flat color palette of teal, coral, and cream. Minimal shading, no gradients, modern corporate-memphis illustration style on a plain background. Crisp vector edges. Aspect ratio 1:1.

Why it works: Calling for flat color, no gradients, and bold outlines keeps the output genuinely vector-like rather than a shaded 3D render.

32. Claymation Character

A charming claymation-style character of a [round little owl], sculpted from modeling clay with visible fingerprints and slight surface imperfections. Soft stop-motion studio lighting, shallow depth of field, warm cozy palette, tiny handmade textures. Photorealistic clay material, Aardman-inspired, sitting on a simple wooden surface. Aspect ratio 4:5, 2K.

Best for: Playful mascot art — the fingerprints and clay imperfections are what make it read as handmade stop-motion.

33. Line-Art Ink Illustration

A detailed black-and-white line-art ink illustration of a [botanical monstera plant], drawn with confident varied-weight pen strokes and fine cross-hatching for shading. Pure white background, no color, high contrast, elegant and precise, engraving-inspired. Clean and printable. Aspect ratio 2:3.

Why it works: Cross-hatching and varied-weight strokes are the vocabulary of real pen-and-ink work, so the model builds tone with line rather than flat greys.

34. Pixar-Style 3D Render

A polished 3D animated-movie-style character render of a [curious young inventor kid with big expressive eyes and messy hair], upper body, warm friendly smile. Soft cinematic key light with a gentle rim light, subsurface-scattering skin, detailed hair strands, appealing stylized proportions. Blurred cozy workshop background. High-end studio render, Aspect ratio 4:5, 2K.

Best for: Character concepts and avatars — subsurface scattering and a rim light give the render that polished animated-feature glow.

Scenes, interiors & 4K wallpapers

Six wide, high-resolution prompts. These lean on 4K and wide aspect ratios — perfect for wallpapers, backdrops, and print. Coming from Midjourney? Compare with the best Midjourney prompts.

35. Cinematic Landscape at 4K

A sweeping cinematic landscape of a [misty pine valley] at sunrise, layered mountain ridges fading into atmospheric haze. Golden-hour backlighting rakes low across the valley with long shadows and volumetric god-rays through the trees; a soft mist hugs the treeline. Rich depth, ultra-detailed foreground foliage, epic scale. Shot on 24mm, deep focus. Photorealistic. Aspect ratio 21:9, 4K.

Why it works: Volumetric god-rays and layered haze create real atmospheric depth, and 21:9 at 4K makes it ready to use as a desktop wallpaper.

36. Cozy Interior Design

A photorealistic interior of a [cozy Scandinavian living room], warm and inviting. Soft natural daylight streaming through large windows with sheer curtains, gentle overcast diffusion, warm practical lamp glow in the corners. Light oak floors, a linen sofa, wool throws, greenery, and a low coffee table. Balanced composition, architectural-photography style, true color. Shot on 24mm f/8. Aspect ratio 3:2, 4K.

Best for: Interior mood boards and listings — mixing window daylight with warm practical lamps is how real interiors are photographed.

37. Futuristic City Wallpaper

A sprawling futuristic cyberpunk city at night, aerial wide view, endless neon-lit skyscrapers wrapped in low fog. Glowing magenta and cyan signage reflects off wet surfaces; distant flying vehicles trail light. Moody atmospheric haze, deep contrast, cinematic color grade, ultra-detailed. Shot on 35mm, deep focus. Aspect ratio 16:9, 4K.

Why it works: The neon-in-fog reflections and light-trails give the scene depth and motion, and 16:9 4K fills a monitor cleanly.

38. Abstract Gradient Wallpaper

An abstract wallpaper of smooth flowing 3D liquid-glass ribbons in soft iridescent gradients — lavender, peach, and mint — curving elegantly across a clean dark background. Soft studio lighting, gentle specular highlights, subtle depth of field, ultra-smooth surfaces, minimal and premium. High-resolution render. Aspect ratio 16:9, 4K.

Best for: Clean device backgrounds and slide backdrops — flowing iridescent gradients stay elegant behind icons and text.

39. Macro Nature Detail

An extreme macro photograph of a [dew-covered spider web] at dawn, each droplet acting as a tiny lens catching the golden sunrise. Soft backlighting makes the droplets glow against a deep blurred bokeh background. Razor-sharp focus on the central droplets, incredible fine detail, natural color. Shot on 100mm macro f/4. Aspect ratio 3:2, 4K.

Why it works: Backlit dew droplets are a classic macro subject, and a 100mm macro at f/4 gives the shallow, glowing focus that makes the detail pop.

40. Night Sky Over Mountains

A breathtaking night-sky landscape: a vivid Milky Way arching over silhouetted jagged mountain peaks, with a still alpine lake mirroring the stars below. Deep blues and purples, thousands of crisp stars, faint green airglow near the horizon, subtle foreground rocks lit by starlight. Long-exposure astrophotography look, ultra-detailed, no light pollution. Shot on 20mm f/2.8. Aspect ratio 16:9, 4K.

Best for: Dramatic wallpapers and hero backgrounds — the reflected Milky Way and long-exposure look give it real astrophotography credibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Nano Banana Pro and Nano Banana 2, and which should I use?

Nano Banana Pro is Google's Gemini 3 Pro Image model — it reasons about your prompt before generating, so it's the strong default for complex, high-detail, or multi-reference scenes. Nano Banana 2 is the cheaper, high-volume sibling with best-in-class text rendering, so reach for it whenever the image contains words — logos, posters, packaging, signage. If the image is purely photographic with no text, Pro gives the most control; if it's text-heavy or you're generating in bulk, Nano Banana 2 is faster and cheaper.

Where can I use Nano Banana?

You can use it in the Gemini app on free and Pro tiers, and programmatically through the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, and Vertex AI. It generates images in roughly two to five seconds. Paste any prompt on this page straight into the Gemini app to try it, or wire it into the API when you need batches, automation, or larger reference-image workflows.

How do I get sharp, correctly spelled text in an image?

Wrap the exact words in quotation marks, keep them under about five words (1–4 words in ALL-CAPS is the most reliable range), name the font and weight you want, and put the text instruction near the start of the prompt. For anything text-heavy — logos, posters, packaging — use Nano Banana 2, which has the strongest text rendering. If a letter comes out wrong, use a conversational edit to fix only that word and keep everything else identical.

What is conversational editing and when should I use it?

If a generated image is about 80% right, don't regenerate from scratch — describe only the change you want and state what must stay identical. For example: "Keep the pose, lighting, and background exactly the same; change only the jacket to red." Nano Banana preserves the rest of the scene, so you iterate toward the final image instead of rolling the dice on a fresh generation. It's the fastest way to fix a color, swap an object, remove a distraction, or correct a word.

What aspect ratios and resolutions does Nano Banana support?

It supports 1:1, 3:2, 2:3, 3:4, 4:3, 4:5, 5:4, 9:16, 16:9, and 21:9 — state the one you want in the prompt, for example "Aspect ratio 16:9". Native resolution runs at 1K, 2K, and 4K; ask explicitly for "2K" or "4K" when you need print-grade detail or a wallpaper. Most prompts on this page include an aspect-ratio line, and the scene and wallpaper prompts call for 4K.

How do I keep a face or product consistent across images?

You can mix up to 14 reference images in a single prompt — faces, products, style references — and Nano Banana keeps those subjects consistent across the generation. Attach the references, then describe the new scene and tell the model which reference is the subject and which is the style. This is how you build a coherent character, put the same product in ten settings, or match a brand look across a campaign.

Do Nano Banana images have a watermark?

Yes. Every output carries an invisible SynthID watermark that identifies it as AI-generated, and free tiers also add a small visible mark. SynthID is designed to survive common edits like cropping and compression. It doesn't affect image quality, but if you need output without the visible tier badge, generate through a paid tier or the API.

Can I use Nano Banana images commercially?

Commercial use depends on your Google plan and the current Gemini and Vertex AI terms, so check the terms tied to your account before shipping paid or branded work. The prompt text on this page is free to use and adapt. As with any generative model, review every image for accuracy, likeness, and brand-safety before publishing, and remember the SynthID watermark stays embedded.

How should I structure a Nano Banana prompt?

Write full descriptive sentences, not comma-separated tags — act like a creative director briefing a photographer. Cover the six factors in order: subject, composition and framing, action, setting, lighting, and style, then add constraints like lens, aspect ratio, and resolution. Real lighting language ("three-point softbox setup", "golden-hour backlighting with long shadows") and lens language ("shot on 85mm f/1.4", "macro 100mm") give the model the specifics it needs to render what you picture.
