The internet is going wild over Google DeepMind's new image editing model, Nano Banana. Freshly launched, it's not only integrated into Google Gemini and my go-to image editing web, Viddo AI, but has also become an instant hit with its unprecedented ease of use and powerful features. After spending an entire night fiddling with it, I can only say—Nano Banana is incredible. Image editing that used to take several steps can now be generated in a single sentence, and its facial fidelity surpasses even FLUX Kontext. Adobe's established tools are practically obliterated by it.
Its uses are endless. You can use it to:
- Product and fashion photography optimization
- Image generation and beautification for social media
- Smart photo editing for acne removal, body slimming, and face reduction
- Restore a bad photo with one click and upgrade it to a high-quality look
- Quickly replace or create outfits
- Mark, frame, and doodle to aid in precise generation
- Create video effects and film storyboards
- Transform photos or objects into stickers and peripherals
Next, I will demonstrate in detail how to use Nano Banana so that you can quickly master its core functions.
How to use Nano Banana?
How to use Nano Banana on Google AI Studio?
The best place to use Nano Banana is https://aistudio.google.com/. This platform offers a high-quality experience. Once you're there, select Gemini 2.5 Flash Image Preview on the right side of the page. This is the official name of Nano Banana.
Then, you can simply enter the changes you want in the input box, and you can also upload multiple images at once. Finally, click Run and Nano Banana will do the rest.
How to use Nano Banana on other websites?
Such a powerful feature may start to charge fees later, and even high single-generation fees. Of course, in addition to AI Studio, Viddo AI can also use Nano Banana. If you want the same effect, you can also try it from https://viddo.ai/nano-banana.
Viddo AI is an aggregation platform that brings together Nano Banana, Veo3, Runway, Midjourney, GPT 4o, Flux.1 and more.Viddo AI is undoubtedly the most cost-effective platform choice.
After selecting the Nano Banana model, upload the image you want to process and enter the prompt text, then click the Generate button to generate the effect you want.
Next, let’s talk about some cool uses for Nano Banana.
Photo editing with Nano Banana
Take tons of photos but always end up with a pile of useless ones? Don't panic, hand them over to Nano Banana! With my prompts, you can instantly turn ordinary photos into masterpieces. It's both time-saving and fun.
Prompt: This photo is very boring and plain. Make your images pop, enhance contrast and color, adjust lighting for more saturation and vividness, and crop out areas that detract from the composition.
Virtual try-on
There is also a very interesting way to play: virtual try-on. Simply upload your own photo and the clothing or dress you want to buy from an e-commerce site, and Nano Banana will synthesize them to make it look like you're wearing the clothes.
You can also use your own photos to try out outfits shared by other bloggers, and the results are incredibly realistic. Note the order of the images in the prompts; I've labeled them "first" and "second" for more accurate generation.
Today's OOTD? Just ask him to show you all the products in the flat-lay display of his outfit design.
Prompt: A flat lay photograph that shows all the clothing items in the image.
Prompt:The figure in Figure 2 wears the clothing and accessories from Figure 1.
Interior Design with Nano Banana
You can use boxes or circles to mark the position of the modified image that needs to be replaced. For example, I asked him to put the table and chairs in the second picture in the position of the red box.
Prompt: Take the chair and table from the second image and place it at the red box location in the first image, and then generate the image without the red box markings.
The room layout is stunning, and the creative freedom offered by Nano Banana is truly remarkable.
The rest depends on how you harness the potential of AI to create even more stunning results.
Blend two photos
I used this function to merge two photos together, and then generated several more photos, but none of them were as good as the first one.
Prompt: Have the woman pet the cat and draw a picture of them together.
Turn your photos into cute stickers
Prompt: Help me create a white outline sticker character, similar to Figure 1. The character needs to be converted into a web illustration style, and with a playful white outline short phrase describing Figure 2.
Generate building or item explanation effects
Nano Banana has built-in Gemini's world knowledge, so you can add some "knowledge tips" to the picture. For example, Nano Banana can automatically generate the correct AR information card for some famous landmarks.
Prompt: Highlight points of interest in images and generate relevant annotations for location-based AR experiences.
After acquiring the picture, it is processed through the first and last frame video model and instantly converted into an explanation animation effect.
I used https://viddo.ai/image-to-video to generate a 30-second explanation video.
Smart Face Optimization
The upgraded Nano Banana significantly improves facial consistency, ensuring high similarity even with minor image modifications. This allows you to edit photos directly using natural language, such as asking Nano Banana to correct skin texture issues, eliminating the need for manual photo editing.
Limitations of Nano Banana
- While Nano Banana is incredibly effective, when trying on multiple items virtually, some items cannot be uploaded in one go and require multiple steps.
- When merging two images, some blends appear forced and unnatural, requiring more detailed prompts.
- Multiple edits to generate an image degrade image quality, making it less natural than the first attempt.
Well, that's all I've been doing these days exploring the creative possibilities and uses of Nano Banana. It's a tool well worth trying for free. Give it a try now.
