However, Google has now shared 5 fresh prompts on how users can tranform your profile pictures into trending pictures with the power of Nano Banana.
Before we get to the prompts, let first dive into what makes Nano Banana special and how to use Gemini's new model.
Why is Nano Banana special?
Google's Nano Banana is the latest AI image generation and editing model by Google Deepmind. The new model is available right on the Gemini app and marks a huge upgrade over not only the previous models avaialble from Google but from rivals like ChaGPT and Qwen.
The USP of Nano Banana lies in performing complex edits while retaining the subject's identity, appearance and other specific details.
Users can generate images using Nano Banana by just entering natural language prompt, ending the need to use to sophisticated professional iamge editing softare.
In order to use Nano Banana, follow this guide:
Open the Gemini app or website
Tap on the Nano Banana icon and upload your desired image
Enter a prompt that you wish to transform your image into or follow one of the five prompts given below.
If you do end up building your own prompt, you can follow our must know tips and mistakes to avoid guides.
Google approved prompts to transform your profile picture:
1) Paperback best-seller cover:
Turn your regular selfie into the lead character of a worn out paperbook thriller.
“Turn me into the cover character on a worn, paperback best seller.”
2) 90s video game character:
Drop yourself in a smoky mid-90s arcade, where your current outfit gets pixel-sliced into a neon racing legend.
Prompt by Google: Without changing my outfit, what would i look like as a racing video game character from the 90s?
I'll be honest, the Google given prompt did not work well on my images so I turned to Qwen to improve the prompt in order to get the desired image which worked like a charm. Below is the prompt suggested by Qwen.
Alternative prompt: "Transform this photo into a 90s-style racing video game character, pixel art style, driving a red race car, same outfit, cartoonish background with palm trees and road, retro HUD with time and score."
Ceramic mug likeness
Give your portraits a twist by turning your face into a fully functional ceramic mug.
Prompt: “Preserving my likeness, create a ceramic mug version of my head. Make my head the entire mug”
Graffiti mural
Blow up your photo into a massive street-art spectacle, a three-storey wall of colour
Turn me into a huge, graffiti mural on the side of a building.
Amigurumi doll
Shrink yourself into a hand-crocheted collectible, soft yarn details and button eyes.
Prompt: “Turn me into a detailed amigurumi doll sitting on a shelf”
Similar to the 90s racing video game prompt, I had to take a little help from Qwen to perfect this prompt and below is the one i ultimately used.
Alternative prompt: “Create a minimalist amigurumi version of me, sitting on a shelf, soft colors”
