How to Use Nano Banana to Create Stickers, Storyboards, and Stunning Edits

Hello everyone! here is Zacose.com’s nano-banana, and today I’ll show you how to unlock the full potential of the most powerful image editing model—Nano Banana.

Last night, the long-awaited image editing model finally went live. No more grinding in arenas or pulling dull cards—you can now have fun immediately. True to Google’s big-budget approach, you can enjoy it absolutely for free.

please ping me if you want to try in zacose with free.

After an all-nighter of testing, I have to say: this thing is unreal. It makes Adobe and other editing software look outdated.

Complex edits that used to take ages can now be done with just one sentence—and the facial similarity is noticeably better than FLUX Kontext.

Enough chatting. Here’s what this tutorial covers:

• Use Nano Banana for retouching—acne removal, slimming, face reshaping, all a breeze
• Rescue bad photos—turn an ordinary snap into a cinematic masterpiece with one click
• Instantly showcase your outfit of the day (OOTD) with a clean and efficient visual
• Try on outfits using your own photo as a base
• Use markers, selection boxes, or doodles to give more precise prompts
• Leverage Nano Banana’s world knowledge to create video effects
• Generate a continuous storyboard from a single hero image
• Turn your favorite photos or objects into real stickers to gift

How to Use Nano Banana

First, I recommend using Google’s AI Studio (https://aistudio.google.com/)—it’s， it’s free and delivers genuine results.

1. Navigate to Google AI Studio and switch the model on the right sidebar to Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Preview)—that’s the official name for Nano Banana.
2. Upload the image(s) you want to edit and type in your request. You can upload multiple images if needed. Then click Run and wait for the magic.
3. Note: Multi-turn editing works great, but after about 4–5 rounds, the context window may be exceeded and performance may drop. In that case, just start fresh in a new workspace.
4. Gemini app users may see a pop-up to switch to Gemini 2.5 Flash Image—if so, selecting it enables Nano Banana capabilities.
5. Developers and enterprises can also access Nano Banana via Gemini API, Google AI Studio, Vertex AI, and platforms like FAL and Krea—but beware of scam websites claiming to be “Nano Banana” official.

Editing with Nano Banana

Love taking photos but feel the result falls short? Maybe your lighting is off, or there’s clutter? Nano Banana can fix that with just a prompt:

“This photo is very boring and plain. Enhance it! Increase the contrast, boost the colors, and improve the lighting to make it richer. You can crop and delete details that affect the composition.”

The model now maintains facial ID consistency far better than before, so even subtle edits keep likeness intact.

“Make the character’s face in the image slimmer, while increasing the muscle mass of the arms.”

Outfit Display & Try-On

Want to show your OOTD? Generate a flat-lay that highlights every clothing item:

“A flat lay photograph showing all the clothing items involved in the photo.”

Or try different blogger-inspired outfits using your photo and theirs:

“The character in Figure 2 is wearing the clothing and accessories from Figure 1.”

Tip: Use image order references like “Figure 1” and “Figure 2” to keep things clear.

Use Markups for Precision

Nano Banana understands world knowledge and visuals—so unlike basic text-only prompts, you can draw directly on your images to guide edits.

For example, blend scene elements from multiple reference images:

“Using the environment from A, the sofa camera angle from B, and the subject from C, create a new image that combines these three elements.”

Need furniture moved? Use highlighted areas:

“Place the chair and table from the first image at the red box location in the second image, and generate the image without the red box markings.”

This is a game-changer for e-commerce visuals, preserving material detail while matching lighting and style.

Advanced Doodle-Based Prompts

Here’s where things get wild: draw simple character poses and Nano Banana brings them to life:

“Have these two characters fight using the pose from Figure 3. Add appropriate visual backgrounds and scene interactions. Generated image ratio is 16:9.”

Pro tip: The more precise your doodle, the more accurate the edit. Users like minux302 even got matched facial expressions.

You can also combine pose references, character consistency, and multi-turn edits to produce high-quality action animations.

Turn Photos Into Stickers

I saw someone creating sticker sets based on circle memes—so I tested Nano Banana to generate similar PNG outlines for printing. Surprise—it works great!

“Help me turn the character into a white outline sticker similar to Figure 2. The character needs to be transformed into a web illustration style, with a playful white outline and short phrase describing Figure 1.”

Perfect for custom gifts!

Add Architectural or Product Annotations

Nano Banana inherits Gemini’s world knowledge—so you can annotate landmarks or items directly in images.

For example, annotate Taj Mahal or Sydney Opera House with an AR-style overlay:

“You are a location-based AR experience generator. Highlight [point of interest] in this image and annotate relevant information about it.”

Add those frames into a video model like 可灵 2.1 along with voiceover to create explainer animations.

E-commerce & Restoration Use Cases

Nano Banana handles product-specific edits more accurately than FLUX Kontext—you can preserve fine details like jewelry texture while making edits.

“The woman in Figure 2 is wearing the necklace from Figure 1. Do not change the details of other Figure 2.”

You can even restore and upscale vintage anime frames:

“Enhance the resolution of this old anime image and add appropriate texture details, reinterpreting it with modern anime techniques.”

Closing Thoughts

That’s all I’ve explored so far with Nano Banana! It supports everything I showcased with FLUX Kontext—and in many cases, it handles population better, faster, and more accurately.

Starting now, every business that relies on visual content—e-commerce, local services, education, wedding, film, printing, tourism, media—can benefit from reworking visuals using Nano Banana.
