How to Write Better Nano Banana Prompts

Master prompt engineering to get the best results from Nano Banana

Core Prompt Strategies

Be Specific and Detailed

Instead of vague instructions like 'make it better,' provide precise details. Say 'change the blue shirt to a professional black suit with a white tie' rather than 'change clothes.' Include specific colors, styles, materials, and attributes for more accurate results.

Example: ❌ Bad: Change the background ✅ Good: Replace background with a sunset beach scene in Maldives, with golden hour lighting and palm trees

Specify What to Preserve

Tell Nano Banana which elements should remain unchanged. This helps maintain important details while transforming other aspects. Mention specific features like facial expressions, poses, or particular objects you want to keep exactly as they are.

Example: ❌ Bad: Add a hat ✅ Good: Add a red baseball cap, keeping the facial features and smile unchanged

Use Lighting and Atmosphere Descriptions

Describe the mood, lighting conditions, and atmosphere you want. Terms like 'golden hour,' 'studio lighting,' 'soft shadows,' or 'dramatic backlighting' help Nano Banana create cohesive, professional-looking edits that match the desired ambiance.

Example: ❌ Bad: Make it look professional ✅ Good: Apply soft studio lighting with a clean white background, professional headshot style

Reference Styles and Aesthetics

Mention specific artistic styles, time periods, or aesthetic references. Use terms like 'vintage 1950s fashion,' 'minimalist modern design,' or 'Renaissance painting style' to guide the visual direction and achieve consistent results.

Example: ❌ Bad: Make it artistic ✅ Good: Transform to oil painting style reminiscent of Van Gogh's Starry Night, with visible brush strokes and rich blues and yellows

Include Position and Composition Details

Specify placement, positioning, size relationships, and composition elements. Describe where subjects should be in the frame, relative sizes between elements, and spatial relationships to create balanced, intentional compositions.

Example: ❌ Bad: Add a dog ✅ Good: Place a golden retriever sitting on the left side, approximately 1/3 the size of the person, looking toward the camera

Use Iterative Refinement

Start with broad changes, then refine details in subsequent prompts. Make one major edit first, review it, then add specific adjustments. This step-by-step approach leverages Nano Banana's multi-turn editing capability for complex transformations.

Example: Step 1: Change background to mountain landscape Step 2: Adjust lighting to match sunset atmosphere Step 3: Add warm color tones to clothing to harmonize with the scene

Balance Creativity with Realism

For photorealistic results, emphasize natural elements and physical plausibility. For creative projects, explicitly request stylization. Clear communication about your realism expectations helps Nano Banana calibrate between photographic accuracy and artistic interpretation.

Example: For realism: Create a photorealistic edit maintaining natural skin tones and realistic fabric textures For creativity: Apply a surreal, dreamlike quality with enhanced colors and fantastical elements

Mention Technical Aspects When Needed

For advanced users, include technical photography terms like depth of field, focal length effects, or color grading preferences. Terms like 'shallow depth of field with bokeh background' or 'cool color grading with teal and orange tones' can produce more sophisticated results.

Example: Apply cinematic color grading with crushed blacks and slightly desaturated midtones, similar to professional movie stills
