Frequently Asked Questions

Nano Banana is the nickname for Google Gemini’s image generation and editing model. Open the Gemini app, upload your selfie, then paste one of these prompts — each one is written as an edit instruction applied to [YOUR PHOTO]. Gemini keeps your face while restyling the outfit, lighting, and scene.
These prompts explicitly tell Gemini to preserve your exact face, skin tone, and hair, so the result still looks like you. If a result drifts too far, regenerate or add a line like ‘keep my facial features identical to the uploaded photo’. Always start from a clear, well-lit selfie for the best likeness.
Use a sharp, front-facing photo with even lighting and your full face clearly visible, ideally from the shoulders up. Avoid heavy filters, sunglasses, or strong shadows across your face. The cleaner the source photo, the more accurately Gemini can keep your likeness while changing the style.
Yes — the gym and physique prompts include instructions to keep your natural body proportions and avoid exaggeration, so the output stays believable and recognizably you. If a result looks over-inflated, regenerate and re-emphasize ‘natural, non-exaggerated build’. They are meant to flatter, not to fabricate a different body.
Absolutely. Every prompt has a tip showing one easy swap, but you can change the outfit colour, background, lighting, era, or mood freely. Keep the ‘preserve my exact face’ instruction intact and edit everything around it to match your personal taste.
