Best Nano Banana Pro Prompts

Some of the biggest “whoa” moments for consumer AI over the last two years were the first ChatGPT app, the “Studio Ghibli” GPT image release, and now, the Nano Banana Pro release.

Since Google announced the Nano Banana Pro model, the internet has gone crazy with generating all sorts of amazing images, slides, and infographics. Here are some best practices, tips, and examples of great Nano Banana Pro Prompts.

(By the way, sometimes Google calls the Nano Banana Pro model Gemini 3 Image Pro. They’re the same thing. Confusing - we know!)

Nano Banana Pro prompting tips

Every AI model has its own quirks and style, and Nano Banana Pro is no different. 

Here are some tips on writing prompts to get the most out of Nano Banana Pro:

• ICS - Image, content, style. Always specify the image type (e.g., blueprint, infographic, diagram), content (source data or information), and visual style (e.g., survival guide, McKinsey presentation, comic)
• Provide a lot of detail - Give the model as many details as you can. For example, if you want a step-by-step guide, listing out each step will help steer the model to produce what you want.
• Ask your AI for help - Asking an AI tool like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini to describe the existing visual style of a presentation or image is a great way to come up with a prompt for a new image.

Here are some examples of prompt building blocks that you might want to use: 

• Image type: Photo, illustration, diagram, blueprint, technical drawing, infographic, map, icon, screenshot, rendering, 3d model
• Composition: Portrait, birds eye view, close-up, action shot, movie poster, cinematic wide-angle, cross-section
• Visual style: 3D animation, watercolor, survival guide, graffiti, McKinsey-style presentation, made by a famous designer, 90s product photography, in the style of [insert TV show/movie/anime/etc]
