Good Nano Banana 2.1 prompts are specific about purpose, composition, lighting, style, and visible text. Start in the Nano Banana 2.1 generator, then refine the result with shorter follow-up edits.

The prompt formula

Use this pattern:

Goal + subject + scene + composition + lighting + style + text + constraints.

Example:

Create a premium ecommerce hero image for a ceramic coffee mug, centered on a warm wooden table, morning window light, soft shadows, minimalist Scandinavian style, readable label text "Slow Morning", no extra words, crisp product detail.

Product shot prompt

A clean product photo of a matte black skincare bottle on wet stone, subtle water droplets, soft studio backlight, luxury cosmetic campaign, shallow depth of field, no extra objects, crisp label text "NOVA SERUM".

Use this for ecommerce, landing pages, and ad testing.

Social media creative prompt

A square Instagram campaign image for a summer drink brand, bright citrus colors, condensation on glass, dynamic splash, bold headline text "Fresh in 5", playful but premium, high detail, clean layout.

Use this when you need many fast creative variations.

Poster typography prompt

A vertical poster for an AI design workshop, large readable title "MAKE WITH AI", smaller subtitle "Friday 7 PM", black and electric green palette, Swiss grid layout, clean margins, sharp typography.

Keep the text short and specify hierarchy.

Image-to-image edit prompt

Preserve the person, pose, face, and camera angle. Replace the jacket with a bright yellow raincoat, realistic waterproof fabric, visible seams, natural folds, keep the background and lighting unchanged.

Use reference images when identity, pose, or product details matter.

Character consistency prompt

Create a character reference image of the same woman in three outfits, same face and hairstyle, neutral studio background, front-facing, full body, consistent proportions, fashion lookbook style.

For best results, generate one strong reference first, then use image-to-image for variations.

Common mistakes

  • Asking for too many text blocks in one image.
  • Mixing several art styles that conflict.
  • Forgetting the image purpose.
  • Not specifying what should stay unchanged during edits.
  • Using vague words like "nice", "cool", or "better" without visual direction.
