Flik AI | Nano Banana Prompting Guide — Image Edits

TL;DR: Nano Banana Pro and Nano Banana 2 prompting guide: photo-realistic AI image generation and precision edits (inpainting, outpainting). Run in Flik AI.

How to prompt Nano Banana in 5 steps

1. Decide: generate or edit?

For new images, prompt from scratch. For edits, upload the source photo first.

2. Describe the subject

For generation, be specific. For edits, describe only what should change.

3. Set composition and framing

Centered portrait, wide landscape, 3:4 product, 16:9 hero — aspect ratios matter.

4. Specify lighting

'Studio softbox', 'natural window light', 'golden hour', 'moody low-key'.

5. Refine iteratively in Flik AI

Regenerate with a single change: 'sharper focus', 'warmer tone', 'remove background'. Flik AI keeps versions for comparison.

Frequently asked questions

Nano Banana Pro vs Nano Banana 2 — which to prompt?

Use Nano Banana Pro for photo-realistic final images and precision edits. Use Nano Banana 2 for fast iteration on concept boards, storyboards, and social post visuals. Prompt syntax is the same.

How do I prompt Nano Banana for an edit (inpainting)?

Upload the existing image and describe only what should change: 'change the sky to sunset', 'remove the person in the background', 'add a red hat to the subject'. Nano Banana preserves everything else by default.

Example of a strong Nano Banana Pro prompt?

Example (generation): 'Product photograph of a matte-black coffee cup on a white marble countertop, soft overhead studio light, light steam rising, shallow depth of field, 3:4 portrait aspect, e-commerce hero shot.' Example (edit): 'Change the background to a sunlit kitchen with blurred plants, keep the cup exactly the same.'

Can I prompt for style transfer?

Yes. Provide a reference image and ask Nano Banana Pro to 'apply the style of the reference to the subject image, preserving subject identity'. Works well for brand-consistent visuals.
