About the Official Gemini Nano Banana Prompts
Nano bananas are trending worldwide, prompting Google to release official prompt word guidelines.
The guidelines also specifically advises describing the scene rather than simply listing keywords. A narrative, detailed paragraph often produces better, more coherent images than a simple, disjointed list of keywords.
The Gemini Prompting Guide lists 11 strategies, including six for generating images and five for editing them. On this page, we've organized these 11 prompt strategies for easier management, reference, and use.
Best Nano Banana Prompting Practices
Here are some best practices for Nano Banana Prompting:
- Fundamental Principle: Describe the scene, don't just list keywords. The model's core strength is its deep language understanding. A narrative, descriptive paragraph will almost always produce a better, more coherent image than a list of disconnected words.
- Provide Precise Details: Include specific details to enhance control over the output. For example, instead of requesting "fantasy armor," specify "ornate elven plate armor, etched with silver leaf patterns, featuring a high collar and pauldrons shaped like falcon wings."
- Clarify Context and Purpose: Clearly state the image's intended purpose to guide the model's output. For instance, "Design a logo for a high-end, minimalist skincare brand" will produce more accurate results than a vague request like "Design a logo."
- Iterate and Refine Output: Anticipate the need for adjustments, as initial results may not be perfect. Use follow-up prompts to refine, such as "Adjust the lighting to be warmer" or "Retain all elements but make the character's expression more serious."
- Break Down Complex Scenes: For intricate images, provide step-by-step instructions. For example: "First, create a background of a serene, misty forest at dawn. Next, add a moss-covered ancient stone altar in the foreground. Finally, place a single glowing sword on the altar."
- Use Positive Descriptions: Instead of negative prompts like "no cars," describe the desired scene positively, such as "an empty, deserted street with no signs of traffic."
- Specify Composition Techniques: Use photographic and cinematic terminology to control the image's composition, such as "wide-angle shot," "macro shot," or "low-angle perspective."
