Main functions and technical highlights

1. Role consistency is extremely high

• As long as the user uploads a selfie or character picture, Nano Banana can generate multiple people or character photos with the same style, expression, and facial proportions.

• It is particularly suitable for brand character packaging, comic storyboards, game character modeling consistency, and one-stop production of e-commerce product model materials.

• While mainstream AIs like SD and DALL·E often deviate from their original form over long series, Nano Banana ensures that the protagonist never becomes less recognizable.

2. Natural language editing, one-sentence photo editing

• No need to select or mask, just describe: "Add an extra phone to my hand and put on a black jacket", and the result will be instantly generated

• Supports multi-language prompts, Cantonese, Traditional Chinese, and English can all be accurately understood

3. Multi-image Fusion and Structural Understanding

• Supports uploading multiple backgrounds, characters, and composition sketches simultaneously. AI will automatically merge the content to create a new scene (for example, two product photos + sketch instructions can create a new marketing poster)

• Can interpret 2D stick figures or hand-drawn sketches as action/storyboard references and automatically generate character action diagrams

• Faced with incomplete scenes and missing corner compositions, it can "automatically fill in" the details of the picture, and the effect is like professional post-production

4. Partial object replacement and fine-tuning

• If you want to change accessories, clothes, hairstyle, or expression in a certain area of ​​the picture, just simplify the command (or even circle the area) and it will be done instantly.

• For example: the flower in the character's hand is changed into a butterfly, the leather shoes are replaced with slippers, etc. The tailoring is meticulous and every step is in place

5. Image Quality and Detail

• Skin texture, light and shadow levels, and dynamic performance are exquisite

• The result is highly restored to the original image, and the quality is stable, no need to draw a lot of cards to achieve miracles.

Operation process & how to experience

Nano Banana is not directly available to general users. Currently, there are two mainstream ways to experience it:

1. LM Arena Platform Blind Test (Google Lab)

• Upload the original image and natural language instructions, the platform will automatically generate two images, and then users can vote anonymously to select the one

• If the one you selected was born from Nano Banana, then the system will reveal/display "Nano Banana" as the model source

• If you don't win, you can try again. The success rate depends on luck.

2. Google AI Studio & Gemini API

• The Gemini 2.5 Flash Image preview is now available. Log in to Google AI Studio and select "Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Nano Banana)" from the Model section.

• You can directly input prompts and pictures to conduct personal testing and obtain the generated effect with "role consistency"

• In the future, it is expected to be opened simultaneously with Google Cloud AI services, enterprise applications and Android raw image apps.

Editor's summary

Nano Banana is currently considered a major breakthrough in AI image generation in 2025. Its greatest strengths are its ultimate advancements in multi-image consistency and semantic description-generated images, enabling customized, coherent multi-image characters or scenes, simply from an idea or reference. This makes it particularly suitable for content creators, anime and game developers, brand commercial materials, and even the average selfie enthusiast.
If you want to experience this "hidden card" model firsthand, we strongly recommend you try blind testing on the LM Arena platform or pay attention to the new feature updates of Google AI Studio.

In-depth discussion on the application scenarios of Nano Banana in commercial design

1. Multi-scenario creation of brand image

Nano Banana's "character consistency" and sentence-driven image generation capabilities solve the persistent problem of brand mascots and figurines appearing less and less like characters in advertisements, promotional materials, packaging, and social media. For example:

• Companies can upload their branded doll designs once, and with just a prompt (e.g., "put on a winter coat and Santa hat"), they can generate new images with the same style and image, eliminating the need to outsource re-drawing.

• Annual brand theme events and cross-product line marketing can quickly create a series of "official style" trendy dolls.

2. E-commerce product models and dress-up performance art

Traditional e-commerce platforms need to hire real models to shoot a large number of photos or outsource hand-drawn models to promote different styles, sizes, or occasions. Nano Banana supports:

• For the same face shape and body, change the clothing and scene (e.g. "Xiaolu wears a red cheongsam, the indoor lighting is soft"), and mass-produce various store posters in a short time.

• Generate multiple sets of detailed photos of new summer and winter products with one click, saving shooting and drawing costs

3. Packaging Design and Advertising Media: Multiple Changes

Designers use AI to quickly generate multiple themes with a unified style (e.g., six new beverage flavors with consistent character poses, clothing, and background styles), and then manually fine-tune and polish the details. Applications:

• Key visual design for a large number of SKUs such as food, beverages, and personal care

• Retail brand festive packaging, beauty series, and limited gift box projects

4. Quick picture matching for content marketing community

Nano Banana can generate a series of images of the same style based on the theme/activity phrase. It can be used for:

• IG/Facebook/TikTok content marketing, holiday-themed cards, sticker packs, emojis, figurine peripherals, etc.

• Official Line/WeChat stickers, create character comics with more than ten moods and actions

5. Storyboard applications such as comics, storyboards, and interactive design

In the past, cartoonists and game developers had to repeatedly match character data, and it was difficult to avoid image distortion when each artist worked on the design. Nano Banana can:

• According to the story script and storyboard settings, consistently render illustrations of characters in different expressions, actions, and scenes

• Game plot packaging, UI interface task icons, etc., unify art specifications to improve user experience

6. Automatic adaptation of physical advertising, outdoor large images, and printed materials

• For exhibition promotions, outdoor light boxes, or multiple banners, you can use different poses or backgrounds for the main character to ensure aesthetic and visual consistency.

• Shopping mall activities, pop-up stores, pull-out shelves, and gift packaging can also be produced in batches within a day without relying on external photography libraries

7. Style Banks within Design Companies and Freelance Creators

Design departments or project teams can establish their own dedicated character database (Style Bank) to address challenging client requests such as "consistency across projects" and "animation of ten theme images," significantly increasing service efficiency.
