Nano Banana prompts for edits that keep your face

Nano Banana made photo editing a one-sentence job: upload a picture, say what to change. The catch is the sentence you do not write. If you never say what must stay the same, the model redraws your face along with the background. Every prompt here names the one change and then lists what to keep, which is how both Nano Banana and GPT Image 2.5 are designed to be edited.

  • 10 tested prompts
  • Made with GPT Image 2.5
  • Real outputs, unedited

The examples on this page were generated with GPT Image 2.5 on MakeInfluencer.ai from one photo of our own AI character, not with Nano Banana. The prompts use the same edit structure Google recommends and work in Gemini's Nano Banana as written. MakeInfluencer.ai is not affiliated with Google or OpenAI.

Viral Nano Banana trend prompts

The figurine-on-a-desk trend and its cousins: playful edits that turn one photo into a collectible or a tiny version of you.

Collectible figurine of a woman on a round clear base on a desk next to a monitorNo. 01GPT Image 2.5 · photo edit

3D figurine on a desk

Use the uploaded photo only for the woman's identity. Keep her face shape, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, hairline, hair colour and skin tone recognisable in the new style. Do not redesign her.

Turn her into a small collectible vinyl toy figure and photograph it on a wooden computer desk. The toy figure is fully clothed in a cream knit sweater, blue jeans and white trainers, with her hairstyle and face sculpted and hand-painted in realistic detail, a slight vinyl sheen, standing on a round clear acrylic base. Behind it, a monitor shows a grey 3D modelling viewport of the same toy with no readable text, and beside it stands a plain kraft-paper toy box with a clear window and no printing. Soft daylight from a window on the left, a desk lamp glowing out of focus. Macro-lens look, shallow depth of field.

Tiny you on a coffee cup

Use the uploaded photo only for the woman's identity. Keep her face exactly as in the photo: face shape, eyes, eyelids, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, hairline, hair colour and skin tone. Do not beautify, slim, smooth or retouch her face; keep its natural asymmetry and texture.

Create a photorealistic miniature scene: a tiny version of the woman, about five centimetres tall, sits on the rim of a large white ceramic latte cup on a café table, legs dangling over the foam, holding a coffee bean in both arms like a beach ball and laughing. She wears a yellow raincoat and white trainers. Latte art heart in the foam, a teaspoon and a sugar cube beside the cup for scale. Macro-lens look with a tilt-shift feel, soft morning window light, shallow depth of field.

Real skin texture: visible pores, fine vellus hair, slightly uneven natural tone. Unretouched, no skin smoothing, no beauty filter, no glamorization. No text, no logos, no watermark.

Kawaii sticker

Use the uploaded photo only for the woman's identity. Keep her face shape, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, hairline, hair colour and skin tone recognisable in the new style. Do not redesign her.

Turn her into a cute die-cut sticker illustration: chibi proportions, big head, clean bold outlines, flat pastel colours with simple cel shading. She waves with one hand and holds a bubble tea in the other, wearing a cream sweater, hair in her usual style. Thick white sticker border around the whole figure and a subtle drop shadow, on a plain light-grey background.

Why these prompts work

Three rules behind every prompt on this page

  1. 01

    One change per prompt

    Change the outfit, or the background, or the light. Two changes in one pass cost more retries than two separate passes.

  2. 02

    Say what stays

    Face, hair, pose and lighting stay unless you say otherwise. Writing that down is what stops identity drift in every edit model.

  3. 03

    Describe the new thing precisely

    "A navy double-breasted wool blazer with gold buttons" edits cleanly. "Something smart" makes the model guess.

How to write your own

How to write a Nano Banana edit prompt

Edit models reward the same habit: change one thing, protect everything else, then iterate.

  1. 1

    Start from a sharp photo

    Face clearly visible and evenly lit. The output can only be as recognisable as the input.

  2. 2

    Name the change

    Outfit, background, haircut, light or style. Pick one per pass.

  3. 3

    Describe it precisely

    Colour, material, cut, place, time of day. Specific nouns edit cleanly; adjectives make the model guess.

  4. 4

    List what stays

    Face shape, eyes, nose, lips, hairline, skin tone, pose. Restate it on every follow-up edit because details drift.

  5. 5

    Match the light

    When you move someone into a new place, describe the light of that place so they do not look pasted in.
