Use a "safe" prompt structure
A high-success prompt usually includes:
Example: A professional headshot photo, neutral background, soft studio lighting, realistic skin texture, subtle retouch, keep the same person, no text.
Generate, then iterate with small edits
Don't change everything at once. Adjust one variable at a time:
background - lighting - style - details
Download and evaluate
If you like the direction, save the result and refine. If not, revise your prompt using the tips below.
Prompt tips that save credits
Be specific, but not chaotic: avoid long prompts with conflicting instructions.
Add constraints: "keep the subject unchanged", "no extra people", "no text".

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about using Nano Banana
No account required for your first generation! Try 1 free generation without signing up. After signup, you get 3 more credits (no credit card required). This gives you 4 free generations total to test the service.
You get 4 free generations total: 1 without signing up, plus 3 more after signup (no credit card required). Each image generation or edit uses 1 credit, so you can try 4 different prompts or edits to test the service before deciding on a paid plan.
Text-to-image creates a new image from your text description alone. Image-to-image uploads an existing photo and transforms it based on your prompt while preserving elements you specify. Both use 1 credit per generation. Choose text-to-image for new creations; image-to-image for editing or variations.
Most generations complete in 2-5 seconds using Gemini 2.5 Flash. Complex prompts or higher resolution outputs may take slightly longer. This fast generation time allows for quick iteration-if the first result isn't perfect, you can adjust and regenerate quickly.
Use prompt templates from our library instead of writing from scratch. Add constraints like 'keep subject unchanged' to prevent unwanted modifications. Change only one variable per iteration so you can identify what works. Avoid very long prompts with conflicting instructions.
Start with a template or well-structured prompt (subject, environment, style, lighting, constraints). Generate and evaluate. If adjustments are needed, change one element at a time: first try different lighting, then background, then style. This systematic approach typically gets good results within 2-3 attempts.
You can upload JPG, PNG, and WebP images up to 10MB. For best results, use images at least 512x512 pixels. Higher resolution source images (1024x1024 or above) produce better detail in the output. Generated images are delivered as high-quality PNGs.
The AI sometimes needs stronger constraints. Try adding multiple preservation phrases: 'keep the same person exactly', 'no face changes', 'preserve identity and pose', 'maintain original composition'. Being more explicit about what should stay the same improves consistency.
Yes, all images you generate can be used commercially. This includes business marketing, product listings, social media content, client work, and professional profiles. You retain full usage rights to your outputs regardless of which plan you're on.
Yes! Try 1 free generation without signing up. After signup, you get 3 more credits (no credit card required). 4 free generations total to test all features before deciding on a paid plan.
When your free credits are used, you'll need to upgrade to continue generating. Your generated images remain accessible in your account. You can upgrade at any time-there's no pressure or expiration. Subscriptions start at $10/month (100 credits) or grab a one-time credit pack from $15 (80 credits).
