Nano Banana 2 Prompting Tips
Get the best results from every generation.
Be Specific About Composition
Instead of 'a dog in a park', try 'a golden retriever sitting in the center of a sun-dappled park, shallow depth of field, eye-level shot, soft bokeh background'. Nano Banana 2's reasoning engine rewards detailed instructions.
Use Text Deliberately
When including text in images, specify the exact wording in quotes, font style (serif, sans-serif, handwritten), and placement. Example: 'with the text "OPEN 24/7" in bold white sans-serif at the top'.
Iterate Fast, Then Upscale
Generate at standard resolution for rapid iteration (3–5s). Once you find the perfect composition, regenerate at higher resolution for the final asset. Saves credits and time.
Master Image Editing
Upload a reference image and be specific about what to change vs. keep. "Change the background to a beach sunset but keep the person and their clothing exactly the same" works better than vague instructions.
Combine with Video Models
Use Nano Banana 2 to nail your scene composition and character design, then feed the image into Seedance 2.0 or Sora 2 on Stuvio to animate it. One platform, complete workflow.
