Design for output, not just preview

How to use Nano Banana 2

Start with the decision you need to make

Ask for the image that helps you decide: which scene works, which layout reads, which product angle sells, or which localized version should move forward.

Add references and facts deliberately

Upload references for characters, products, layouts, or brand direction. If the image depends on real-world context, state the place, topic, source material, or data you want represented.

Export the strongest direction

After a few fast rounds, choose the best option and set aspect ratio, resolution, and format for the next step in design, ads, content, or review.
