Nano Banana prompt library
Nano Banana (Google’s Gemini image model) rewards plain, descriptive language over keyword soup. It holds a subject across edits, follows real-world lighting, and keeps text legible. These prompts are written the way the model likes to be spoken to: one clear subject, the surface it sits on, the light, the lens, then the finish.
How to write great Nano Banana prompts
Four rules that make the difference between a flat result and a usable one.
Write full sentences. Nano Banana parses natural description better than comma-separated keywords, so "a matte ceramic mug on warm oak, soft window light from the left" beats "mug, oak, window light, 4k, cinematic".
The two levers that make an image read as premium are the surface the subject sits on and the direction of the light. State both explicitly before you reach for style words.
When you want a variation, reference the existing subject ("keep the same bottle, change the background to a marble ledge"). Nano Banana keeps identity well across edits, which is where it beats most models.
It renders on-pack copy and signage cleanly. Put the exact words in quotes and say "crisp, legible" so labels do not smear.
