Prompting

Nano Banana 2.1 image creation

Describe the subject, setting, composition, and lighting to create a new image with Nano Banana 2.1.

  • Example direction: Describe one focal product, its material, the camera angle, the light source, and any space needed for a later layout. For edits, say what should stay recognizable and what should change.
  • Example prompt: “Create a studio product photo of a sage-green ceramic travel tumbler on a pale stone plinth, soft morning window light from the left, a warm neutral backdrop, three-quarter view, subtle glaze texture, and open space on the right. No lettering or logo.”

Reference editing

Guide edits with image references

Add up to 16 supported reference images and describe which subject details to preserve and which scene details to change. Review the result against the source because an edit may reinterpret details. The model may reinterpret details, so review the result before using it in a finished asset.

  • Example edit: State which details to preserve and which parts to change, then inspect the output against the source image.
  • Example edit prompt: “Use the uploaded tumbler photo as a reference. Preserve its silhouette, lid, handle, and sage glaze; place it on a pale kitchen counter beside a folded linen towel, with soft morning light and the same three-quarter camera angle.”
  • Nano Banana 2.1 routes requests through the selected API provider, with APIMart as the default. Model names and trademarks belong to their respective owners; this page describes the Nano Banana 2.1 workflow and is not an official provider product page.
