Prompt-led image generation
Write the subject and its placement first, then add light, style and any exact wording. The prompt accepts up to 20,000 characters when the brief needs detailed constraints.
What will you create next?
A product photograph, a layout idea or a written scene can be the starting point. Nano Banana 2 combines reference-guided editing with a choice of resolution, canvas shape and optional search context in the same workspace.
Use references for appearance, text for the intended change, and output settings for the layout that will hold the finished image.
Write the subject and its placement first, then add light, style and any exact wording. The prompt accepts up to 20,000 characters when the brief needs detailed constraints.
Up to 8 reference images can supply different parts of the brief. Explain which one defines the product, character, palette or composition instead of leaving their roles ambiguous.
Optional Google Search enhancement adds web context to a request. Use it when the idea depends on real-world information, and verify factual details in the result.
Choose a familiar portrait, square or landscape layout, or a long canvas such as 1:8 or 8:1. Output choices are 1K, 2K and 4K.
The starting material determines the workflow. A blank brief explores an idea; a reference-led edit develops something that already exists.
Describe a new composition, choose its canvas and resolution, then inspect the generated image against the brief.
Upload the picture or references, describe the change and state what should stay recognizable. This can guide a new setting, a layout revision or a different material treatment.
Use the result action to send a chosen frame into the Seedance video workspace. Add a motion brief there to develop the still image into a separate video task.
Each example starts with a specific visual decision, so the result can be assessed against a clear purpose rather than a vague request for a better image.
Compare several directions for a campaign's main image. Keep the subject fixed while testing the setting, lighting or space reserved for a headline.
Place a referenced product in a new scene or composition. Check packaging, proportions and labels against the actual item before using the result commercially.
Develop a scene's composition as a still frame before planning its movement. A selected image can then guide a Seedance image-to-video task.
Plan a separate composition for a square post, vertical story or wide banner. Choose the ratio before generating so important details fit the intended layout.
What to prepare, which settings are available and how to continue from a generated frame.
Choose a text or reference-led workflow, set the canvas and develop the next image in your project.
