Nano Banana AI is a powerful and intuitive image-generation and editing tool powered by Google’s Gemini (Flash) model. Whether you want to generate completely new images from text or edit existing photos, Nano Banana lets you do it with natural language — no Photoshop skills needed. Here’s how to get started and make the most of it.

Step 1: Access the Nano Banana Interface

• Open your browser and go to one of the supported Nano Banana websites, such as the official NanoBanana.app.
• Alternatively, you can use it via Google AI Studio, where the Gemini “Nano Banana” model is available.
• If you already use Google products, simply sign in with your Google account.

Step 2: Choose Your Mode — Generate or Edit

Nano Banana supports different workflows depending on what you want to do:

• Text-to-Image: Create a brand-new image by describing what you want in simple words.
• Image-to-Image / Image Editing: Upload a photo (e.g., a selfie, a room, a product) and tell Nano Banana how you want it changed.

Step 3: Upload Reference Images (if Needed)

• If you're editing, click to upload your image(s). Some versions support up to 4 or 5 reference images.
• Make sure your images are in common formats like JPG or PNG.

Step 4: Write Your Prompt

• In the prompt box, describe what you want. For example: “Make the background a sunset over the ocean” or “Dress this person in a formal suit, keep their face and pose the same.”
• Be clear about what to change and what to keep — mention details like expressions, lighting, or context.

Step 5: Generate the Image

• Click the Generate button. Nano Banana will process your request, usually in just a few seconds.
• Wait a moment while the AI creates the image.

Step 6: Refine and Iterate (Optional)

• If the first result isn’t quite right, you can refine your prompt: make it more specific, or explain what you'd like to change.
• For multi-turn editing, you can build on the result step by step — for instance, change the background first, then add an object, then adjust lighting.

Step 7: Download Your Final Image

• Once you’re happy, download the image to your device. Most versions let you save it in common image formats.
• Some tools may watermark the image (e.g., with SynthID) to indicate it's AI-generated, but you generally retain commercial rights.

Step 8: (Optional) Use via API

• If you’re a developer or need to integrate Nano Banana into an app, you can use its API.
• Check out the Nano Banana documentation for API keys and integration instructions.

Step 9: Make the Most of It

• Try different styles: change colors, swap backgrounds, or even generate 3D-like figurines.
• Use it for creative projects: social media graphics, marketing visuals, prototyping designs, or fun personal art.
• Experiment with prompt wording — the clearer and more detailed you are, the better the AI understands.

Step 10: Stay Aware of Limits

• Free users often get daily credits or limited free edits.
• Some users report that asking for very high-resolution output may not always work as expected.
• Be mindful of the content policy: certain types of images or requests may be restricted.
