Step-by-Step: How to Create Your First Image
1. Open Gemini App and Enable Nano Banana Pro
Go to Create Images → Thinking Model and ensure the label shows “Powered by Gemini 3 Pro Image”. This means Nano Banana Pro is active.
2. Enter Your Prompt
Write a clear, descriptive text prompt — for example:
“Create a cinematic poster featuring a surfer dog under neon lights, sci-fi color grading, and fog at sunset.”
Nano Banana Pro breaks down your prompt through its thinking process — forming “intermediate mental images” to plan layout and lighting before the final render.
3. (Optionally) Upload Reference Images
You can upload up to 14 images to guide style, composition, or character look:
- 6 for objects or elements
- 5 for human faces to preserve consistency
- 3 for style or environment references
This feature keeps your people, objects, and lighting coherent across the final image.
4. Adjust Aspect Ratio and Resolution
From settings, choose your output:
- Resolution: 1K / 2K / 4K
- Aspect Ratio: 1:1 (Instagram), 16:9 (Video thumbnails), 9:16 (Reels)
5. Generate and Refine
Once you click Generate, Nano Banana Pro produces the image plus option variations. You can refine sections using localized editing:
- Adjust lighting or depth of field
- Replace specific areas with new objects using text prompts
- Apply style transfer (from painting to photo or vice-versa)
Editing Images Using Text Prompts
Nano Banana Pro lets you edit images directly with text. Examples:
- “Turn this photo into a watercolor painting.”
- “Add a red umbrella over the woman.”
- “Change the lighting to golden hour and add soft fog.”
- “Focus on the flowers in the foreground.”
You can also draw on uploaded images (first with colored markers), then prompt “interpret my doodles creatively” to refine your idea visually.
How Nano Banana Pro Uses Google Search Grounding
Unlike traditional AI art models that rely purely on training data, Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) connects directly to Google Search Grounding to access and verify real-world information in real time. This means it doesn’t just generate pretty pictures — it builds accurate, fact-anchored visuals based on current data, maps, and events.
What Is Search Grounding?
Search Grounding is Gemini’s capability to retrieve up-to-date and verifiable data from Google’s search index before the image generation step. Nano Banana Pro uses the “Thinking Mode” to reason through its prompt, fetch verified information, and translate those facts into visual elements.
Think of it as a bridge between AI creativity and searchable knowledge — the model first checks reality, then illustrates it.
Accurate Educational Visuals
Because Nano Banana Pro can pull live search results and structured data from Google, it’s ideal for teachers and students who need factually correct diagrams or maps.
Esempi:
- Biology: Generate “a diagram of human cell types and their functions based on current genome research.” It labels organelles correctly using verified terminology.
- Geography: “Map the continental plate movements as of 2025 according to latest USGS data.”
- Environmental Science: Visualize “the 2025 coral reef bleaching zones with trend indicators from NOAA sources.”
Testing from Google AI Studio’s educational preview showed a 32% improvement in factual accuracy vs. non-grounded AI models like Midjourney v6 or Firefly v3.
Historical Illustrations & Infographics
Search grounding is equally useful for history and archaeology. It can fetch references to specific eras, events, and artifacts to visualize them accurately.
Example prompts:
- “Create a timeline illustration of the Industrial Revolution using facts verified from Wikipedia and JSTOR.”
- “Draw an infographic comparing ancient Roman architecture and modern Italian infrastructure with accurate building layouts and dates.”
- “Show the expansion of the Silk Road trade network using real historical maps and regions.”
In early beta tests for Google’s “educational mode,” Nano Banana Pro outperformed text-to-image competitors by delivering higher geographic and timeline precision (verified-fact rate above 90%).
Real-Time Weather & Event Visualization
Search grounding allows Nano Banana Pro to turn real-time data into visual updates. It can access current figures from sources such as Google Weather, ESPN, and NASA’s Earth data feeds.
Esempi:
- “Generate a comic book-style weather infographic showing today’s temperature across New York, Paris, and Tokyo.”
- “Visualize the current Pacific hurricane trajectory with live wind-speed metrics and NASA imagery.”
- “Create an infographic summarizing the latest Olympic track and field records from 2025.”
Internal latency tests from Gemini Preview report that search-enhanced infographics load and render in under 6 seconds, with data accuracy maintained within a 24-hour freshness window.
Smarter Visual Reasoning Through Grounded Facts
Nano Banana Pro doesn’t just “copy” search results — it reasons with them.
- Example: “Show the top five billionaires by net worth today.” The model searches real-time financial indices and renders a chart reflecting verified numbers for each person.
- Example: “Show the current CO₂ emission distribution by continent.” The model pulls values from WHO, NOAA, or World Bank datasets and creates a color-graded map to match the figures.
This turns the image generation process into a mini data-visualization pipeline — ideal for researchers and journalists.
Tips for Better Prompting in Nano Banana Pro
Crafting the right prompt is the single most important skill to get the best results out of Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image). The model uses Google DeepMind’s advanced reasoning alongside real-world Search grounding, treating your prompt like a creative brief — the clearer your instructions, the richer and more accurate the output.
Below are the best-performing prompting techniques, backed by user tests and official guidelines from Gemini 3 Pro Image studies.
1. Start Simple — Cover Composition, Lighting, and Style in One Sentence
Esempio:
“A cinematic cityscape at sunset, soft bokeh lighting, and pastel cyberpunk style.”
Start with a clear base structure:
- Oggetto: What you want to see.
- Illuminazione: Time of day, mood, source light.
- Style: Photography genre or art direction.
Google DeepMind’s internal prompt study (2025 beta) shows that prompts under 25 words achieve a 30% higher accuracy rate for composition than long, ambiguous paragraphs.
2. Add Specifics — Second Pass for Texture and Color Mood
Once your base works, refine descriptive details.
Esempio:
“A cinematic cityscape at sunset, soft bokeh lighting, pastel cyberpunk style, wet neon reflections on asphalt, and blue-violet ambient fog.”
You can control:
- Texture: Glossy, matte, metallic, wool, velvet, etc.
- Color palette: Warm earth tones, cold neons, retro CMYK tones.
- Camera mood: Wide-angle, macro, portrait, telephoto.
Nano Banana Pro’s new thinking mode analyzes these visual cues before rendering, similar to how a graphic designer mood-boards an idea.
3. Use Multi-Language Prompts for Global Concepts
Nano Banana Pro understands and renders in 100+ languages, including multilingual mixes. This is useful for localized marketing or cross-cultural visual projects.
Esempi:
- Spanish prompt: “Diseña un cartel retro de café con tipografía art-deco.”
- Japanese prompt: “浮世絵スタイルの山の風景、夕日と桜の花。”
- Mixed prompt: “Create a poster that says ‘Bonjour Tokyo!’ in both French and Japanese fonts.”
Google’s 2025 Gemini multilingual benchmark shows Nano Banana Pro achieved over 95% accuracy for text rendering in Latin and Asian scripts.
4. Describe Relationships Between Objects
Nano Banana Pro uses spatial reasoning to understand how subjects interact. Clarifying relationships produces more natural results.
- Bad prompt: “Dog, surfboard, sign.”
- Good prompt: “A small dog balancing on a surfboard beneath a neon ‘Good Vibes’ sign at night.”
Other examples:
- “A robot serving coffee to a human in a 1950s diner.”
- “A frog wearing a tiny helmet, riding a lily pad like a race car.”
- “Two astronauts playing chess on the moon, Earth visible in the distance.”
Clarifying object relationships reduces positioning errors by up to 40%.
5. Avoid Contradictory Instructions
AI models struggle with conflicting styles (e.g., “a realistic oil painting photo, flat vector art style”). Choose a primary visual intent and optionally blend a secondary influence.
- Good: “An oil painting inspired digital portrait, softly textured with canvas grain.”
- Bad: “3D realistic flat vector oil-painted photo.”
Nano Banana Pro prioritizes logical consistency — mixing too many visual rules reduces clarity and adds instability to textures.
6. Pro Tip — Use This Phrase for Film-Quality Results
“Cinematic composition with balanced lighting and color grading.”
This phrase appears in Google’s internal prompt cookbook for Gemini 3 Pro Image and is used in over 70% of demo examples. It enhances:
- Dynamic range of light and shadow
- Saturation control for HDR tones
- Depth-of-field clarity on human subjects and landscapes
A/B tests from Gemini AI Studio (2025 preview) showed a 27% improvement in professional looks rankings when creators included this cinematic phrase.
Bonus Prompt Patterns That Work Well
| Prompt Type | Example Prompt | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Infographic Design | “Create a step-by-step infographic on how coffee is made, using flat vector icons and bilingual text (English + Japanese).” | Accurate text layout, readable fonts, consistent color hierarchy |
