What Nano Banana 2 does well

One character, every angle

Describe a character once, or upload a reference, and ask for a turnaround sheet: front, three-quarter, side and back.

Nano Banana 2 keeps the face, hair and outfit the same across the views. That gives you a reference you can reuse for every later scene.

Google lists character consistency as one of the model's headline features, and it works for mascots and products as well as people.

A clean character turnaround sheet on a soft pastel grey background showing the same stylized 3D animated character four times in a row: front view, three-quarter view, side profile and back view. She has a short silver bob, round glasses, a bright yellow raincoat with toggle buttons, teal rain boots and a small canvas tote. Identical proportions, outfit and colors across all four poses, even studio lighting, feature-animation production design quality, no text.

Edit by talking to it

Upload an image and say what should change: turn the room to night, swap the sofa for a green one, add rain on the window. Nano Banana 2 edits that part and leaves the rest in place.

You can keep going one instruction at a time, which is easier than one long prompt that tries to describe every detail at once.

When all you need is to take something out of a photo, the AI object remover does it with a brush and no prompt.

A before-and-after diptych of the same cozy living room from the identical camera angle. Left panel: a plain daytime scene with a grey sofa, a round wooden coffee table and a bare window. Right panel: the exact same room edited step by step, now at night with warm string lights along the window frame, a knitted blanket on the sofa, a mug of cocoa on the table, and a ginger cat asleep on the cushion. Furniture, layout and perspective stay identical, photorealistic interior photography.

Several references, one scene

Upload several references, such as a chair, a fabric and a lamp, and ask for a room that uses all of them. Nano Banana 2 combines them into one coherent image and keeps each object recognisable.

Name each reference in the prompt so the model knows what it is for. Keep the number of references to what the scene really needs.

A design presentation board on a warm white wall. On the left, three small printed reference cards pinned vertically: a mid-century armchair in mustard velvet, a swatch of indigo block-printed textile, and a brass arc floor lamp. On the right, a large print of the finished interior that combines all three: a reading nook where the mustard armchair has an indigo block-print cushion and the brass arc lamp glows above it, bookshelves and a large plant behind. Soft gallery lighting, clean editorial layout, no text.

How to write prompts for Nano Banana 2

1. Good Nano Banana 2 prompts describe the character or product in the same words every time in a series: name, hair, clothing, colours.

2. For an edit, say what to change and what to keep, such as "make it night, keep the furniture and the camera angle". To change one small area only, inpaint it with a brush.

3. When you use several references, say which one is the subject and which ones are style or setting.

4. Give the scene a light source and a time of day; the model follows lighting instructions closely.

5. Edit in small steps. Two or three short instructions usually work better than one long one.

Nano Banana 2 limitations

• Small faces in crowded scenes can come out blurred or distorted. Google lists this as a known weakness, so keep important faces large in the frame.

• Spelling and fine detail are not guaranteed, and translated text can miss grammar or nuance. Check every word before you publish.

• Complex edits and blends of many images can look unnatural, and consistency can slip over a long series. Regenerate the frames that drift.
