Tips
How to write a Nano Banana prompt
Six habits behind the prompts in this library.
Put exact text in quotes and say where it goes: the title 'BLUE NOTE NIGHTS' in big art-deco letters.
Name the format first — poster, infographic, YouTube thumbnail, 8:1 website header — then pick the matching ratio in the settings.
Pick 1K for drafts, 2K for most posts and 4K for print or hero images; the size is a setting, not a prompt word.
With references, call them 'image 1', 'image 2' and say which gives what (face, outfit, product, background).
For edits, say what to change and what to keep: 'Keep his face, pose and the light the same.'
Turn on web search when the image needs real facts — planets, landmarks, current products.

Link to this answerHow do I get text right in a Nano Banana prompt?
Put the exact words in quotes and say where they go and how big, like the title 'BLUE NOTE NIGHTS' in big art-deco letters. Google says Nano Banana 2.1 improved text rendering and infographic layout, but always proofread — small extra text the model adds on its own can still slip.
Link to this answerHow do I use reference images in a Nano Banana prompt?
Upload them and refer to them by order — 'image 1', 'image 2' — saying what each one gives: the face, the outfit, the product, the background. Google's docs allow up to 14 references, with character consistency for up to 4 characters and object fidelity for up to 10 objects.
Link to this answerDo these prompts work in Gemini or Nano Banana Pro?
They are plain-language prompts, so you can paste them into any Nano Banana version. The images on this page come from Nano Banana 2.1 on Kenerate; another version, app or setting will give a different result.
Link to this answerCan I use the images commercially?
Images you make on Kenerate have no watermark and include commercial use. Check that your prompt doesn't copy a real brand, logo or person you don't have rights to.

Why these prompts work on Nano Banana 2.1
Google says Nano Banana 2.1 brings improved quality at 1K, 2K and 4K, fixed tiling on wide and panoramic ratios, and better text rendering and infographic layout [1], with "notable leaps in visual design, mask-based editing, and subject consistency" [2]. The library leans on exactly those: quoted titles, numbered infographics, an 8:1 header and edits that keep a face.
Text, ratio and size
Quote the words, name their place and style. Pick the ratio in the settings — Kenerate offers 14, from 1:8 to 8:1 — and describe the format in the prompt too ("ultra-wide website header"), so the composition fits the frame. 1K is enough for drafts; use 2K or 4K for final art.
References: image 1, image 2…
Nano Banana 2.1 fuses up to 14 reference images, keeping up to 4 characters and up to 10 objects consistent [1]. Name each upload by order and say what it contributes; for edits, list what must stay the same.
Web search for facts
Google's docs list search grounding with Google Web and Image Search [1]. On Kenerate, switch on web search when the picture depends on real information — our solar-system infographic was made that way.
