PROMPT LIBRARY / 12 STARTING POINTS

Nano Banana 2.1 Prompts for Images, Edits & Multi Image

Copy 12 Nano Banana 2.1 prompts for product photos, portraits, posters, image editing and multi-image composition. Open each prompt in Pixwit.

Write prompts that are easy to evaluate

Use this structure: subject + task + composition + lighting + exact constraints. Replace bracketed variables, then change one element at a time. For edits, say both what changes and what stays. For text, put the exact wording in quotes and proofread the result.

These are original starting prompts, not a gallery of tested Nano Banana 2.1 outputs. Editing and multi-image prompts require you to upload the described references.

Product

Clean product photography

Replace the product, material and brand color. For an existing product, upload its photo in Edit mode.

Create a studio product photograph of [product] made of [material] on a matte [brand color] surface. Use one large softbox from camera left, a subtle contact shadow, and a plain background. Center the product with space above for a headline. Keep edges precise and materials believable. Do not add logos, labels or extra objects. Aspect ratio 4:5.

Product

Lifestyle campaign

Describe the audience and setting before changing the visual style.

Photograph [product] in use by [audience] in [setting]. Show a candid moment with natural window light and a relaxed composition. The product must remain clearly visible and physically plausible. Use warm neutral colors and realistic texture. Leave the right third uncluttered for campaign copy. Do not generate any text.

Portrait

Editorial portrait

Replace the subject description; ask for specific light and framing.

Create an editorial portrait of [subject description] wearing [wardrobe], framed from the chest up against a textured gray wall. Use soft side light with gentle shadows, natural skin texture and a calm expression. Use an 85mm portrait perspective. Avoid beauty smoothing, exaggerated eyes and theatrical lighting. Aspect ratio 3:4.

Portrait

Consistent character sheet

Treat this as a design draft; inspect all panels for identity drift.

Design a four-panel character sheet for [character description]. Show front, three-quarter, profile and full-body views. Preserve the same face, hairstyle, outfit colors and proportions across all panels. Use a plain cream background and even studio lighting. Keep the panels separated by generous whitespace. No text or decorative borders.

Typography

Minimal sale poster

Replace only the quoted strings. Proofread generated text before publishing.

Design a minimal retail poster with the exact headline "WEEKEND SALE" and the exact subheading "Save 20% through Sunday". Use one bold sans-serif type family, a clear two-level hierarchy and generous margins. Background: deep navy. Headline: cream. Add a small orange circle near the bottom. No other text, no invented brand and no product photos. Aspect ratio 4:5.

Typography

Three-step infographic

Use short, checked facts. Image generation is not a substitute for fact checking.

Create a three-step infographic titled "A Better Morning". The three exact labels are "Drink water", "Take a walk", and "Plan your day". Arrange equal-sized cards from left to right with simple icons, clear visual spacing and readable dark text on a light background. Use teal accents. Do not add statistics, footnotes or extra labels. Aspect ratio 16:9.

Editing

Replace a background

Upload one source image. Describe what must remain unchanged.

Edit image 1. Keep the main subject's identity, position, proportions, clothing and expression unchanged. Replace only the background with [new setting]. Match the subject's light direction to the new environment and create believable contact shadows. Preserve fine hair and transparent edges. Do not crop or add new people.

Editing

Change lighting

Upload one photo; change a single visual property before requesting further edits.

Edit image 1 to look as if it was photographed during soft golden-hour light. Preserve the subject, camera angle, framing and every existing object. Change only the illumination and color temperature. Add gentle warm highlights with consistent shadow direction. Keep skin and material texture natural; avoid heavy orange grading.

Editing

Product color variation

Upload the product image and replace the target color.

In image 1, change the [product part] to [target color]. Preserve its material, surface finish, reflections, silhouette, seams and all surrounding objects. Keep the logo and existing label text unchanged. Do not repaint shadows or alter the background. Return a single image with the original composition.

Multi image

Product in a reference setting

Upload product as image 1 and environment as image 2, in that order.

Use image 1 as the product reference and image 2 as the environment reference. Place the product naturally on a suitable surface in the environment. Preserve the product's shape, packaging colors and visible markings. Match perspective, scale, light direction and contact shadow. Do not merge the two images as a split-screen collage.

Multi image

Subject with a style reference

Upload subject as image 1, then style example as image 2.

Use image 1 for subject identity and image 2 only for lighting, palette and composition style. Create a new portrait of the subject from image 1. Preserve facial proportions and hairstyle. Do not copy the person, logos or text from image 2. Keep anatomy natural and the result visually coherent.

Multi image

Three-object scene

Upload one object per image; explain the role of each reference explicitly.

Combine the objects from images 1, 2 and 3 into one studio still life. Put the object from image 1 in the center, image 2 on the left and image 3 on the right. Keep all three distinct with their original proportions and colors. Use one shared light source and a continuous surface. Avoid duplicated objects, overlapping labels and collage borders.

How to write Nano Banana 2.1 multi image prompts

Upload references in order and assign a role to each: image 1 is the product, image 2 is the setting, image 3 is the style. Tell the model which details to preserve and which reference should control composition. Avoid asking every image to provide both identity and style.

If the output mixes identities or duplicates objects, simplify to two references, inspect the result and add more references only when they have a clear purpose.
