Overview

  • Nano Banana is the nickname for Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, which turns an uploaded photo plus a short prompt into photoreal miniature figurine images.
  • Google amplified the trend by posting examples on its official accounts, and participation now includes public figures such as Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
  • The workflow is widely reproducible, with outlets publishing the step‑by‑step prompt that places a likeness on a clear acrylic base beside toy‑style packaging on a desk.
  • Google confirms image creation and editing are free in the Gemini app, making the feature broadly accessible without special skills.
  • Users report quality limits on fine details, particularly hands, and coverage highlights cases where the model struggled to follow instructions or render anatomy accurately.
