Model overview

What Nano Banana is for

Nano Banana is the fast visual-exploration route in this workspace. It is most useful when you need several distinct directions before committing a production pass. Keep prompts concrete: name the subject, choose a framing, state lighting and materials, then change one variable between runs. Inside Seedream 5.0 Pro, this model opens the generator with a live credit estimate before the request starts.

Decision guide

When to choose this route

Use Nano Banana for moodboards, campaign directions, thumbnails, style studies, and quick reference-led changes. Text-to-image and image-to-image are live. Once a direction is selected, compare the same brief with live Seedream 5.0 Pro or GPT Image 2 when structure, typography, or precise edits matter more. Keep the comparison on Seedream 5.0 Pro when you want this image route next to the live Seedream 5.0 Pro path.

Specification notes

Capabilities stay tied to what the live endpoint can do in this workspace.

Quick visual branching
Turn one campaign idea into controlled variations by changing one lens, palette, setting, or material per run.
Reference-led restyling
Upload an image and give the change a concrete target: new setting, light, wardrobe, product surface, or seasonal palette.
Concept-first prompting
Use decisive production nouns and verbs rather than a long list of disconnected aesthetic adjectives.

Nano Banana prompt examples

Each example pairs a visual reference with a copyable production brief. Replace subjects while keeping hierarchy, light, and materials concrete.

Nano Banana moodboard-style exploration example

Moodboard seed

Start with a strong visual premise before polished campaign detail.

Surreal travel moodboard, cobalt ocean seen through a hotel window, oversized citrus, sun-faded linen, flash photography, optimistic summer palette.
Nano Banana poster direction example

Poster direction

Use one subject and one graphic device so variations stay comparable.

Independent film poster, lone cyclist crossing a huge red circle at dusk, grainy risograph texture, bold negative space, no text.
Nano Banana packaging exploration example

Packaging exploration

A material and shelf context makes early packaging concepts easier to judge.

Sparkling water can design on a wet stainless-steel counter, electric lime and silver colorway, condensed type area left blank, candid studio flash.
Nano Banana reference restyle example

Reference restyle

Retain the product silhouette while changing only the art direction.

Keep the bottle silhouette and label from the reference. Restyle as a sunlit Mediterranean breakfast scene with striped linen, lemon peel, and soft film grain.
Nano Banana thumbnail test example

Thumbnail test

A readable thumbnail has one dominant face, object, or gesture.

YouTube thumbnail direction, expressive chef holding a giant saffron croissant, bright market kitchen, close wide-angle camera, high contrast, space for short text.
Nano Banana character variation example

Character variation

Lock core identifiers, then test only location and medium.

Same curious young astronaut with orange visor and white utility suit, now in a moss-covered library on the moon, gentle watercolor illustration.
Nano Banana seasonal palette example

Seasonal palette swap

Freeze composition and swap only color temperature and props.

Same cafe window seat composition, autumn version: amber leaves outside, cinnamon latte, warm tungsten interior, soft film grain.
Nano Banana UI mock seed example

UI mock seed

Keep interface hierarchy modest and leave labels short.

Mobile wellness app home screen, large circular breath timer, three short habit rows, sage and cream palette, generous spacing, no tiny unreadably dense text.

A controlled image workflow

Small, intentional changes produce more learning than rewriting every part of the prompt.

  1. 01

    Choose one variable

    Make a first visual hypothesis and decide whether the next run should change composition, palette, setting, or medium.

  2. 02

    Generate a small set

    Use a handful of tightly related directions rather than rewriting the whole prompt each time.

  3. 03

    Keep the winner

    Save the prompt and aspect ratio of the strongest output so it can become a reference or comparison baseline.

  4. 04

    Refine deliberately

    Move a selected concept to a more detailed brief only after the overall visual direction is working.

What creators say after using this workflow in production.

Nano Banana is my first pass for three distinct campaign directions before lunch. Speed matters when the client still has not picked a visual lane.

One subject, one framing change per run — that discipline plus Nano Banana volume gets us moodboards the team can actually vote on.
