## In depth

### 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.

## FAQ
Q: What are the best Nano Banana prompts?
A: The ones that read like a brief: format, subject, style and light, any exact text in quotes, and what to keep when editing. Our 26 prompts cover portraits, products, posters, infographics, logos, figurines, anime, food, interiors, thumbnails, stickers, fashion, 9:16 stories, 8:1 banners, ads, mockups and watercolor — each with the image it really produced.

Q: How do I use Nano Banana?
A: On Kenerate: open /app/image, pick Nano Banana 2.1, choose a ratio and 1K, 2K or 4K, paste a prompt and generate. To edit, upload a photo (or up to 14 references) and describe the change. Google also offers Nano Banana in the Gemini app and Google AI Studio.

Q: Is there a Nano Banana prompt generator?
A: Use the fill-in formula on this page — format, subject, text in quotes, style and light, ratio and size, references — or our free prompt enhancer, which rewrites a short idea into a detailed prompt you can paste into Nano Banana 2.1.

Q: How do I get text right in a Nano Banana prompt?
A: 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.

Q: How do I use reference images in a Nano Banana prompt?

Q: Do these prompts work in Gemini or Nano Banana Pro?
A: 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.

Q: Can I use the images commercially?
A: 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.
