Edit any photo with a plain-English instruction
Change one thing, keep the rest
Using the uploaded photo, change the [RED CAR] to [MATTE BLACK], keep everything else exactly the same, same lighting, same background, same angle
This is the core Nano Banana move. Naming the one thing to change and telling it to keep everything else is what protects the rest of the photo.
Remove an object cleanly
Remove the [PERSON IN THE BACKGROUND] from this photo and fill the space naturally to match the surrounding [BEACH AND SKY], keep everyone else untouched
Telling it what should fill the gap gives a cleaner result than just saying delete.
Add something that fits
Add [A PAIR OF SUNGLASSES] to the [MAN IN THE CENTER], match the lighting and perspective of the photo so it looks real, change nothing else
Asking it to match lighting and perspective is what makes the added item blend in instead of looking pasted on.
Swap the background
Replace the background of this photo with [A SUNNY PARK], keep the [SUBJECT] in the foreground exactly as they are including their edges and hair, match the new light to the subject
Calling out edges and hair tells the model where the tricky cutout is, and matching light sells the composite.
Change the time of day
Change this daytime photo to [GOLDEN HOUR SUNSET], warm low light and long soft shadows, keep the composition and every object the same
Lighting edits are one of Nano Banana's strengths, and locking the composition stops it from redrawing the scene.
Keep the same character across every scene
Same character, brand new scene
Keep the exact same character from the reference image, same face, hair, and outfit, now place them [SITTING AT A CAFE TABLE READING A BOOK], same art style and lighting mood
Listing face, hair, and outfit as the things to hold constant is how you stop the character from drifting between images.
Same character, new pose and expression
Same person as the reference, keep the face identical, change only the pose to [ARMS CROSSED] and the expression to [CONFIDENT AND SMILING], keep the outfit and background style consistent
Freezing the face while changing the pose lets you build a whole set of shots of one believable person.
Character turnaround for multiple angles
Using the reference character, generate a [THREE-QUARTER VIEW] and a [SIDE PROFILE] of the same person, identical face, hair, and clothing, plain studio background
A turnaround gives you matching angles for a comic, game, or storyboard that all read as one character.
Combine two reference images
Put a subject into another scene
Take the [PERSON] from the first image and place them into the [MOUNTAIN LANDSCAPE] from the second image, match the scale, lighting, and shadows so it looks like one real photo
Nano Banana can blend two uploads, and naming scale plus shadows is what makes the merge believable.
Try an outfit on a person
Put the [JACKET] from the second image onto the [PERSON] in the first image, keep the person's face and pose the same, fit the clothing to their body naturally
This is the practical version of a virtual try-on, handy for lookbooks and shopping mockups.
Product mockup in a real setting
Take the [PRODUCT] from the first image and show it [ON A KITCHEN COUNTER], keep the product's exact shape, label, and colors, add realistic lighting and a soft contact shadow
Locking the label and shape keeps your real product accurate while it drops into a lifestyle shot.
Restore, colorize, and restyle
Restore an old damaged photo
Restore this old photograph, remove the scratches, creases, and stains, gently sharpen the faces, keep the original composition and the people exactly as they are, natural realistic result
Telling it to keep the people exactly as they are stops restoration from inventing new faces.
Colorize a black and white photo
Colorize this black and white photo with natural, realistic color, believable skin tones and period-correct clothing, keep every detail and the original framing
Asking for natural and period-correct color avoids the cartoon look that cheap colorizers produce.
Style transfer on a real photo
Redraw this photo in the style of [A WATERCOLOR PAINTING], keep the same composition, subject, and pose, apply the [SOFT WATERCOLOR] look across the whole image
Keeping the composition while changing only the medium is the clean way to restyle a real photo.
Trends, text, and generating from scratch
Action figure and figurine trend
Turn the person in this photo into a [COLLECTIBLE ACTION FIGURE] inside [BLISTER PACKAGING], add a [NAME LABEL] and small [ACCESSORIES], keep their face and outfit recognizable, glossy toy-plastic look
The figurine trend works because you name the packaging, the label, and the accessories, then lock the real face.
Readable text inside the image
Create a [POSTER] that reads [YOUR EXACT WORDS] in [BOLD CLEAN LETTERING], spelled correctly, [CENTERED AT THE TOP], with [A CITY SKYLINE] behind it
Nano Banana can render readable text, so put the exact words in quotes and say where they go.
Classic generation from scratch
A photorealistic [SUBJECT] in [A SETTING], [SOFT NATURAL LIGHT], 50mm lens look, sharp focus, natural colors, no text or watermark
When you have no photo to edit, a plain description still works, and clean-plate wording keeps stray text out.
