The 30-Second Formula
Every strong prompt follows the same shape:
[Strong verb] + [Subject] + [Action] + [Location/context] + [Composition] + [Style]Describe the scene in plain language, start with a verb (Create, Restore, Replace, Transform), and for edits always say what to keep the same. Full breakdown in the prompt-writing guide.
Image Editing Prompts
Best model: Nano Banana (base). Input: 1 image.
Object removal
Using this image, remove [specific object] from the scene. Keep everything else exactly the same, including the original lighting, camera angle, background details, shadows, textures, and composition. Fill the removed area naturally so the final image looks realistic and unedited.
Object replacement (inpainting)
Using the provided image, change only the [old object] to [new object]. Keep everything else in the image exactly the same, preserving the original style, lighting, shadows, and composition.
Background change
Using this image, keep the main subject exactly the same and replace the background with [new background]. Preserve the subject's pose, facial features, clothing, hair, edge details, and realistic shadows. Make the final image look like it was photographed in the new environment.
Smart crowd removal
Remove all the people in the background behind the main subject. Replace them with realistic background elements that logically fit the scene (extend the pavement, empty benches, or grass textures). Ensure no blurry artifacts or smudges remain — the filled area must match the same grain, focus depth, and lighting as the rest of the photo.
Expand / outpaint to a new ratio
Zoom out and expand this image to a 16:9 aspect ratio. Seamlessly extend the scenery on both sides, matching the original lighting, weather, and texture perfectly. If objects are cut off at the borders (a shoulder, a branch, a building edge), complete them naturally. Do not distort the original center of the image.
Lighting upgrade
Using this image, improve the lighting to look like a professional studio photo. Add a soft directional key light, subtle fill light, natural highlights, and realistic shadows. Preserve the original subject identity, pose, clothing, background layout, and composition.
Portrait, Headshot & Avatar Prompts
Best model: Nano Banana (base). Input: 1 image or text.
Professional LinkedIn headshot

Founder portrait for a startup site
Using this image, create a modern founder portrait for a startup website. Keep the person's identity and natural expression. Use soft directional lighting, a clean office or studio background, shallow depth of field, realistic skin texture, and a premium editorial photography style.
Dramatic spotlight portrait
Generate a hyperrealistic portrait of the subject against a completely black background. Use a narrow-beam spotlight focused only on the center of the face, with sharp, dramatic light edges; everything outside the spotlight falls quickly into deep shadow. Preserve the subject's identity. Mood: dark, moody, mysterious, high contrast only on the lit part of the face.
Cyberpunk portrait
Using this portrait, transform the person into a cinematic cyberpunk character. Preserve facial identity and expression. Add neon city lighting, subtle futuristic clothing details, reflective highlights, atmospheric depth, and a realistic cinematic color grade.
Face Swap Prompts
Best model: Nano Banana (base). Input: 2 images.
Realistic face swap
Using Reference Image 1 as the target scene and Reference Image 2 as the face reference, replace the person's face in the target scene with the face from the reference image.

Virtual model try-on
Using Image 1 (the garment) and Image 2 (the model), create a hyper-realistic full-body fashion photo where the model is wearing the garment.

FAQ
What are the best Nano Banana prompts? The best prompt is the one that matches your task. Use the editing prompts to modify existing photos, the portrait and product groups for generation, and the prompt-writing formula above to adapt any of them to your own subject.
Are these prompts for Nano Banana or Nano Banana Pro? Both. They use the same prompt style. Each group notes the better model — use Pro for anything with accurate text, logos, infographics, or complex layouts, and base Nano Banana for fast edits.
Why do my prompts produce distorted results? Usually too little description or keyword-soup phrasing. Describe the scene in full sentences, name the lighting and composition, and for edits state exactly what to keep the same. See the prompt-writing guide.
Can I use these prompts commercially? The prompts here are free to use and adapt. Always confirm the output rights and usage limits of the specific Nano Banana tool you run them in.
How do I keep a face consistent across edits? Add "preserve the exact facial identity and proportions," and for multi-scene work build a 360-degree reference sheet first, then reuse it.
