For a new image, describe the subject, action, setting, composition, and style. For an edit, lead with the operation, identify the exact target, describe the replacement, and protect everything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The practical difference is simple. Image generation rewards clear creative direction. Image editing rewards boundaries. If a result is close, refine it with a follow-up instruction instead of restarting with a much longer prompt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.glbgpt.com\/home?inviter=hub_popup&amp;login=1\">GlobalGPT gives you direct access<\/a> to Nano Banana, Nano Banana Pro, and Nano Banana 2 alongside other image and language models in one workspace.

It can create a new image from text, transform an uploaded image with natural-language instructions, combine references, render text, and support iterative edits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The name now covers more than one model. Google\u2019s March 2026 prompting guide focuses on Nano Banana 2 and Nano Banana Pro, while the original Nano Banana remains useful for fast everyday work. That is why a good prompt guide needs to explain both the task and the model choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google recommends being specific, using positive framing, controlling the camera with photographic terms, and refining an image conversationally. It also recommends starting with a strong verb that tells the model what operation to perform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"choose-model\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nano Banana vs Nano Banana Pro vs Nano Banana 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose the model by the cost of a mistake, not by which name sounds newest. A quick social draft and a product poster with exact typography need different levels of control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Model<\/th><th>Best fit<\/th><th>Prompt detail<\/th><th>Use it when<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Nano Banana<\/td><td>Fast drafts and simple edits<\/td><td>Short and direct<\/td><td>You need a quick concept, background change, or everyday image variation.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Nano Banana Pro<\/td><td>Polished assets, complex layouts, and typography<\/td><td>Detailed creative brief<\/td><td>Text accuracy, brand presentation, or multi-element control matters.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Nano Banana 2<\/td><td>Fast iteration with newer generation and editing controls<\/td><td>Medium to detailed<\/td><td>You want rapid variations, current-information workflows, or efficient creative exploration.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The model names and access options can change over time.

Instead of saying \u201cuse these images,\u201d explain what each reference controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote \\&quot;wp-block-quote\\&quot; is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use image 1 as the identity reference for the person\u2019s face and hairstyle. Use image 2 as the wardrobe reference. Use image 3 only for the lighting and color mood. Create a medium-full portrait in a hotel lobby. Preserve the person\u2019s identity and body proportions from image 1; do not copy the people or background from images 2 or 3.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a consistent character across several scenes, lock the stable details first: face, hairstyle, approximate age, body proportions, signature clothing, and a small set of accessories. Change one large variable at a time. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glbgpt.com\/hub\/how-to-generate-consistent-characters-in-different-scenes-with-nano-banana\/\">consistent-character guide<\/a> goes deeper into that workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"text-posters\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prompts for Text, Posters, and Localization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google\u2019s current guidance recommends putting required text in quotation marks and describing the typography. Keep the wording short, finalize it before image generation, and separate each line when the hierarchy matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote \\&quot;wp-block-quote\\&quot; is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Create a vertical event poster with a dark navy background and a single glowing orange circle. Render exactly three lines of text: \u201cDESIGN AFTER DARK\u201d in a bold white geometric sans-serif; \u201cAUGUST 22\u201d in condensed orange capitals; and \u201cSHANGHAI\u201d in small white lettering. Center the text, keep generous spacing, and do not add any other words, logos, or symbols.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For translated artwork, supply the approved translation instead of asking the image model to invent marketing copy. If the words are business-critical, check every character manually after generation.

It is the prompt that gives the model a clear job, enough visual context to perform it, and firm boundaries around the details you cannot afford to lose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"faq\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I write a good Nano Banana prompt?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a new image, describe the subject, action, setting, composition, style, lighting, and essential details. For an edit, name the operation and target, then state what must remain unchanged. Use a follow-up prompt for small corrections instead of rewriting the entire request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I make Nano Banana keep the same face?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use a clear reference image and protect identity-related details: face shape, expression, hairstyle, skin tone, age, and body proportions. Change only one major element at a time. No image model guarantees perfect identity preservation, so compare each result before continuing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can Nano Banana edit an existing photo?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. It can change backgrounds, clothing, lighting, objects, colors, and visual style with natural-language instructions. Identify the exact target and add a preservation clause for the parts that should not change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Nano Banana Pro better than Nano Banana?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nano Banana Pro is the stronger fit for polished commercial assets, complex layouts, and text-heavy designs. The original Nano Banana remains useful for fast drafts and simple edits. Choose by task complexity rather than assuming one model is best for every image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does Nano Banana ignore part of my prompt?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The prompt may be overloaded, contradictory, or unclear about priorities. Split the task into stages, replace vague adjectives with concrete visual instructions, and specify both the target change and the protected elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I use Nano Banana for product photos?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Use reference images for product shape, label, and materials; specify camera angle, surface, lighting, background, and crop; and protect brand-critical details. Review labels and geometry manually before publishing commercial images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Nano Banana add a watermark?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google states that images generated by its current Gemini image models include SynthID, and its current Cloud guidance also describes C2PA Content Credentials. Check the documentation for the exact model and access route you use because disclosure behavior and policies can change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A strong Nano Banana prompt does three things: it names the result you want, gives the model enough visual direction to build it, and states what must stay unchanged.
