Nano Banana 3 Docs
Learn how to use Nano Banana 3 for text-to-image generation, image-to-image editing, reference-guided design, readable text, localized visuals, and production-ready image workflows.
Nano Banana 3 is an online AI image workspace for fast visual creation and controlled editing. It helps you turn prompts and reference images into polished visuals for ads, product scenes, posters, mockups, presentations, diagrams, and social content.
Use this guide when you want to understand the product, choose the right workflow, and get cleaner results from the homepage image generator.
What is Nano Banana 3?
Nano Banana 3 combines text-to-image generation, image-to-image editing, and reference-guided design in one browser workflow. The product is shaped around Nano Banana Pro-style strengths: clearer typography, richer real-world context, multi-image composition, localized visual ideas, and precise natural-language edits.
Instead of treating generation and editing as separate steps, Nano Banana 3 keeps the loop simple:
- describe the image you want
- upload references when identity, product shape, style, or layout should stay consistent
- choose a model, aspect ratio, quality, and output format
- generate several directions
- refine the best result with focused follow-up instructions
- review and export the final image
Core workflows
Text to image
Use text to image when you need a new visual from a prompt. It works best when the brief includes the subject, setting, style, camera angle, lighting, composition, required text, aspect ratio, and final use.
Good text-to-image tasks include:
- ad concepts and campaign visuals
- poster layouts and thumbnails
- product scenes and ecommerce graphics
- social posts in square, vertical, or wide formats
- diagrams, explainers, and education visuals
- editorial mockups and presentation images
Image to image
Use image to image when you already have a source image and want controlled changes. Upload the image, then explain what should change and what must remain recognizable.
This workflow is useful for:
- replacing or extending backgrounds
- restyling an existing scene
- adapting one image to another aspect ratio
- changing atmosphere, lighting, or finish
- creating variations while preserving a face, product, outfit, color palette, or layout
Reference-guided editing
Upload one or more references when consistency matters more than surprise. References can guide character identity, product resemblance, brand mood, material texture, scene structure, pose, or style direction.
The clearest prompts separate preservation from change:
- what to keep: face, logo placement, product shape, outfit, pose, color, composition
- what to change: background, camera crop, lighting, text, language, mood, season, format
- what to avoid: distorted hands, wrong wording, extra logos, changed product details, unreadable labels
How to use Nano Banana 3
The homepage workflow is designed around four practical steps.
1. Describe or upload
Start with a prompt, a source image, or reference images. If you need a fresh concept, write a complete prompt. If you need controlled editing, upload the image first and describe the target change.
For stronger results, include:
- subject and purpose
- scene or background
- camera angle and framing
- lighting and mood
- style or material direction
- exact in-image text, if needed
- final channel, such as ad, poster, product page, slide, or social post
2. Pick your output
Choose the mode, model, aspect ratio, quality, and output format before generating. This helps the result match the real destination instead of forcing you to fix the layout later.
Use square formats for feed posts and product cards, vertical formats for stories and posters, wide formats for banners and presentations, and input matching when the source image dimensions should stay close.
3. Refine with context
Nano Banana 3 performs better when your prompt has context. Add details about the audience, region, language, product use, design style, camera, typography, and composition.
For localized visuals, describe the language, setting, cultural cues, and market context you want. For explainers or diagrams, describe the structure and label placement instead of only naming the topic.
4. Review and export
Generate multiple versions, compare them, and refine the strongest one. Treat every AI image as a draft until it passes a final check.
Before publishing or handing off an image, review:
- text accuracy and spelling
- brand fit and logo behavior
- product or character consistency
- factual claims in diagrams or explainers
- likeness rights and usage permissions
- platform rules, content credentials, or watermark requirements
Key features
Readable text rendering
Nano Banana 3 is designed for visuals where text matters: posters, packaging, labels, signs, social graphics, thumbnails, diagrams, and localized layouts. Keep text short, quote exact wording, and describe placement and type style.
If a result is close but the words are wrong, run a focused edit that only corrects wording, spacing, or text placement.
World-aware prompts
Some prompts need more than style words. Nano Banana 3 can support product explainers, educational visuals, structured layouts, historical or geographic scenes, and diagrams when you give enough context.
For grounded images, mention the subject, era, location, real-world constraints, and the teaching or communication goal.
Multi-reference composition
You can combine references for people, products, poses, materials, environments, or style. This helps you build a coherent result from several inputs without rebuilding the whole concept from scratch.
Localized design ideas
Nano Banana 3 can adapt the same creative idea for different markets. Change the language, scene, cultural cues, product context, or visual format while keeping the core concept recognizable.
Prompt optimization
Prompt optimization helps turn rough notes into more useful image instructions. Use it when your idea is clear in your head but too short on the page.
A stronger prompt usually covers:
- subject
- setting
- composition
- camera and lens feel
- lighting
- color and material direction
- typography
- constraints and things to preserve
