Google just dropped something incredible Nano Banana Pro. If you’ve been playing around with AI image generators, this would blow your mind.
Built on the powerful Gemini 3 Pro model, this AI tool isn’t just another image generator. It’s smarter, faster, and honestly, it feels like magic sometimes.
I’ve spent the last few days testing this thing like crazy, and I’m excited to share 21 prompts that’ll help you unlock its full potential. Whether you’re a marketer, blogger, designer, or just someone who loves creating cool stuff, these prompts will blow your mind.
What Makes Nano Banana Pro Special?
Nano Banana Pro uses advanced reasoning and real-world knowledge to create better images than before. It’s not just about pretty pictures anymore it’s about accuracy, context, and detail.
The thing I like most is:
It creates images with correctly rendered and legible text. Anyone who’s tried making posters or social media graphics with other AI image tools knows the pain of getting weird, jumbled letters.
That problem? Solved.
Nano Banana vs Nano Banana Pro: What’s the Difference?
Both models are awesome, but they serve different purposes.
Nano Banana (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image) is your go-to image tool for quick, fun edits. Whether you want to turn your photo into a miniature figurine or want to try a new hairstyle, it does that for you.
It generates images at 1024×1024 pixels and costs about $0.039 per image through the API.
Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) excels in visual design, world knowledge, and text generation. When you need professional-quality images, accurate infographics, or complex compositions with multiple elements, Pro is what you want. It generates images at 2K resolution natively (2048×2048 pixels) with optional upscaling to stunning 4K quality.
Think of it this way: Nano Banana is for your Instagram stories. Nano Banana Pro is for your client presentations.
The Pro version can handle up to 14 reference images at once and maintain consistency across up to 5 different people in a single image. That’s insane! The trade-off? It’s slower and more expensive about $0.139 per 2K image and $0.24 per 4K image through the API. But when you need quality, it’s worth every penny.
How to Access Nano Banana Pro
Getting started is actually pretty straightforward:
For Gemini App Users:
- Open the Gemini app
- Switch to “Thinking” mode (this activates Gemini 3 Pro)
- Select “Create images” from the tools menu
- Start prompting!
If you’re on the free tier, you’ll get a limited number of generations before it switches back to regular Nano Banana. Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers get way higher limits, so if you’re serious about this, the subscription is worth considering.
For Workspace Users:
Nano Banana Pro is available in Google Slides, Vids, and NotebookLM for workspace customers. This means you can generate images directly where you’re already working.
For Developers:
Access it through Gemini API, Google AI Studio, or Vertex AI if you want to build something custom. Just note that you’ll need billing enabled to use the Pro model—it’s not available for free in AI Studio.
Best Practices for Writing Prompts for Nano Banana Pro
After testing dozens of prompts, here’s what actually works:
- Be Specific About Details: Don’t just say “a logo.” Say “a minimalist logo featuring a mountain silhouette in navy blue with the text ‘Adventure Co’ in a modern sans-serif font.”
- Use Technical Photography Terms: Nano Banana Pro understands camera angles, lighting conditions, and composition. Use terms like “medium shot,” “golden hour lighting,” “shallow depth of field,” or “wide-angle lens.”
- Leverage Its Real-World Knowledge: Because it can connect to Google Search, you can ask for things like “an infographic showing the current top 5 programming languages” or “a recipe card for authentic Thai green curry.”
- Describe Text Carefully: When you need text in your image, be explicit about font style, size, placement, and even the material or texture you want it to have.
- Stack Multiple Instructions: The Pro version handles complex, multi-layered prompts beautifully. Don’t be afraid to combine editing requests, style preferences, and content requirements in one go.
- Upload Reference Images: When you have a specific style or look in mind, upload examples. The model learns from them and matches your vision better.
- Specify Format and Aspect Ratio: Want something for Instagram? YouTube thumbnail? Blog header? Tell it! Use ratios like 16:9, 1:1, or 9:16.

For Marketing & Social Media
1. Product Mockup with Lifestyle Context
Prompt:
Create a flat lay product photo of a minimalist black water bottle on a wooden desk, surrounded by a laptop showing a productivity dashboard, wireless earbuds, a notebook with handwritten notes, and a small succulent plant. Bright natural lighting from the left, Instagram-ready composition, shot from directly above, 1:1 aspect ratio.
What I Got:
The image came out beautifully! The water bottle was perfectly centered, and everything looked natural not staged or fake like some AI images. The lighting was spot on, creating those subtle shadows that make flat lays look professional. I was impressed that even the tiny details like the earbuds’ charging case looked realistic.
2. Eye-Catching Ad Banner
Prompt:

What I Got:
This is where Nano Banana Pro really shines. The text was crisp, perfectly spelled, and the gradient was smooth without any banding. The geometric patterns added depth without overwhelming the main message. I’ve spent hours in Canva trying to get similar results, and this took seconds.

For Blogging & Content Creation
4. Blog Header with Text Overlay
Prompt:
Create a blog header image showing a cozy workspace with a laptop, coffee mug, and notebook. Overlay the text "10 Writing Tips That Actually Work" in elegant serif font, positioned in the upper third of the image. Warm, inviting color palette with soft focus background. 1200x630 pixels.

What I Got:
Honestly, I was skeptical about this one because infographics are notoriously hard for AI. But it nailed it!

I had to adjust the actual text content, but the design template was perfect.

What I Got:
The timeline layout worked well, and the icons were relevant (computer, graph, person, etc.). The percentage numbers were large and eye-catching. Since I didn’t specify actual statistics, it generated placeholder numbers, but the design was solid enough that I just needed to swap in real data.
For SEO & Tech Content

Modern, minimalist design with lots of white space. iPhone dimensions.
What I Got:
The interface was clean and followed iOS design guidelines. The buttons looked clickable, the input fields were properly sized, and the social login icons were recognizable. This would make a great mockup for pitching an app idea.
For Technology & Innovation Content

Modern, slightly futuristic style with blue and purple gradient background. Suitable for a tech blog explainer article.
What I Got:
The illustration was clean and conceptual without being too literal. The devices were recognizable, the cloud was stylized nicely, and the data streams added movement to the image. Perfect for explaining technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
For Multi-Image Editing & Blending
15. Photo Collage with Brand Elements
Prompt:
[Upload 3 images: your headshot, your logo, and a screenshot of your work]Combine these three images into a cohesive personal branding banner. Place the headshot on the left with subtle circular frame, logo in the center with glow effect, and work screenshot on the right. Connect them with flowing lines or abstract shapes. Modern, professional color grading with blue tones.
What I Got:
I uploaded my LinkedIn photo, a simple text logo I made, and a screenshot of my blog. The result was surprisingly cohesive!

The color grading tied it all together nicely.
16. Style Transfer Magic
Prompt:
[Upload 2 images: a photo of your product and a reference image with desired artistic style]Apply the artistic style and color palette from the reference image to my product photo, while keeping the product clearly recognizable. Blend the aesthetics seamlessly so it looks like the product naturally belongs in that artistic style.

17. Team Photo Enhancement
Prompt:
[Upload 2-3 images: individual photos of team members]Create a professional team composite image placing these three people side by side in a modern office environment. Ensure consistent lighting and color grading across all subjects. Add a subtle branded background with company colors. They should look naturally placed together.
What I Got:
I used three random headshots with different lighting conditions. The final image had all three people with matching skin tones and lighting, against a professional office background. It’s not perfect if you zoom in really close, but at normal viewing size, it looks like they were photographed together.
For Creative & Design Projects
18. Vintage Poster Design
Prompt:
Create a retro 1960s travel poster for "Visit Tokyo" featuring Mount Fuji in the background, cherry blossoms in the foreground, and a bullet train crossing through the middle. Use vintage color palette (burnt orange, mustard yellow, teal), halftone dot patterns, and bold geometric shapes. Text should have classic travel poster typography. 24x36 inch poster proportions.
What I Got:
This came out gorgeous! The vintage aesthetic was spot-on with the halftone patterns and muted colors. Mount Fuji looked majestic, the cherry blossoms framed the scene beautifully, and the bullet train added a nice focal point. The “Visit Tokyo” text had that perfect retro typography. I’d honestly hang this on my wall.
19. Icon Set Creation
Prompt:
Design a set of 6 minimalist line icons representing: Blog, Podcast, Video, Newsletter, Social Media, and Course. Each icon should be simple, recognizable, and work well at small sizes. Consistent stroke width, arranged in a 2x3 grid with labels underneath. Black icons on white background, modern and clean style.
What I Got:
The icons were clean and professional. Each one was instantly recognizable—a document for blog, microphone for podcast, play button for video, envelope for newsletter, speech bubbles for social media, and graduation cap for course. The stroke width was consistent, and they’d work perfectly at any size.
20. Book Cover Concept
Prompt:
Create a book cover design for "The Digital Nomad's Guide to Success" by [Your Name]. Show a laptop on a beach background with palm trees and sunset colors. Title text should be large, bold, and modern in white or yellow. Subtitle and author name in smaller text. Professional self-help book aesthetic, 6x9 inch standard book size.
What I Got:
The laptop placement was natural, sitting on what looked like a beach towel. The sunset colors were warm and inviting without being too saturated. The title text was bold and readable (though I’d want to tweak the font choice slightly). Overall, it captured that aspirational digital nomad vibe perfectly.
21. Localized Content Creation
Prompt:
[Upload an image with English text]Translate all the English text in this image into Spanish while keeping the exact same design, layout, colors, and visual elements. Make sure the translated text fits naturally and maintains the same professional appearance.
What I Got:
I uploaded a simple marketing flyer with “New Product Launch” and some bullet points. The Spanish translation was accurate, and impressively, the text size adjusted slightly to fit the space naturally (since Spanish text is often longer). The design integrity remained intact.
Why These Prompts Work
After testing these extensively, I’ve noticed a pattern. The prompts that work best are:
- Detailed but not restrictive – Give enough information to guide the AI, but don’t micromanage every pixel.
- Using the right language – Photography and design terms help the AI understand what you want. Terms like “bokeh,” “chiaroscuro,” “flat lay,” or “hero section” work better than vague descriptions.
- Structured progressively – Start with the main subject, then add style details, then specify technical requirements like size or resolution.
The prompts that disappointed me were usually too vague (“make a nice marketing image”) or tried to do too many unrelated things at once.
What Are Common Nano Banana Prompts Mistakes to Avoid?
After experimenting extensively, here are the pitfalls you should avoid:
- Don’t Be Vague: “Make a nice image about marketing” won’t get you far. The more specific you are, the better your results.
- Don’t Forget About Aspect Ratios: Always specify the dimensions or aspect ratio you need. Nothing’s worse than generating a perfect image that doesn’t fit your platform.
- Don’t Expect Perfect Text Every Time: While Nano Banana Pro is amazing with text, complex layouts or unusual fonts can still trip it up. Sometimes you’ll need a second attempt.
- Don’t Skip the Iterations: Your first prompt rarely gives you the perfect result. Refine, adjust, and iterate. The model learns from your feedback.
- Don’t Ignore Reference Images: When you have a specific vision, show don’t just tell. Upload examples of the style, color palette, or composition you want.
What Are The Tips for Getting Professional Nano Banana Results?
Here’s what separates amateur outputs from professional-looking results:
- Use Specific Color Values: Instead of “blue,” try “navy blue #1E3A8A” or “sky blue with slight desaturation.”
- Mention Brand Guidelines: If you’re creating marketing materials, include your brand colors, font preferences, and style guidelines directly in the prompt.
- Request Specific Resolutions: For web use, 2K is usually perfect. Save 4K for print materials or large displays where the extra cost is justified.
- Layer Your Requests: Start with the main subject, then add lighting instructions, then composition details, then text overlays. Structure your prompts like layers.
- Test Different Phrasings: The same idea expressed differently can yield dramatically different results. Experiment with how you describe things.
What’s Actually Worth Using This For?
Let me be honest about where Nano Banana Pro excels and where it struggles:
Absolutely Worth It:
- Blog graphics and social media content
- Marketing materials with text (posters, ads, banners)
- Infographics and educational diagrams
- Product mockups and concept visualizations
- Quick design iterations and A/B test variants
Still Needs Work:
- Photorealistic faces at small sizes
- Extremely complex scenes with many people
- Perfect brand color matching (always verify)
- Intricate hand-drawn details
The Future Is Here (And It’s Pretty Exciting)
What excites me most about Nano Banana Pro isn’t just what it can do now it’s where this technology is heading. We’re moving from “generate images” to “create exactly what I envision with precision and control.”
The fact that it connects to Google Search’s knowledge base means it can create infographics with current data or visualize real-time information. That’s powerful for anyone creating educational or data-driven content.
For bloggers and content creators like us, this changes the game. We can now produce professional-quality visual content without a design team, expensive software subscriptions, or years of Photoshop experience.
Your Turn to Create Stunning Images!
I’ve given you 21 prompts to start with, but honestly, this is just scratching the surface. The real magic happens when you start experimenting with your own ideas.
Try these prompts, modify them for your specific needs, and see what works best for your content. Pay attention to which styles resonate with your audience and which prompts save you the most time.
And here’s a pro tip: keep a swipe file of prompts that work well for you. When you generate something amazing, save that prompt. Build your own library of go-to formulas that you can remix and reuse.
The barrier between having an idea and bringing it to life just got dramatically lower. So what are you waiting for? Fire up Gemini, switch to Thinking mode, and start creating.
What will you make first?
Quick Note: Remember that free users get limited generations with Nano Banana Pro before switching to the regular model. If you’re serious about using this tool regularly, the Google AI subscription is worth considering for higher limits and consistent access.
