How to write a strong Nano Banana 2 prompt
Nano Banana 2 responds best to clear composition instructions, explicit edit constraints, and grounded context only when needed.
Tip: use the UI for ratio, resolution, seed, web search, and output format. Keep the prompt focused on subject, layout, style, and what should stay fixed.
Tips and limits
Nano Banana 2 is most effective when you separate composition intent from styling intent and only enable grounding when the prompt truly needs fresh context.
What works best
- Use 0.5K and 1K to reduce cost while testing composition.
- Describe wide or tall frames explicitly when you use extreme ratios.
- If web grounding is enabled, state what current cues matter so the search context is useful.
- For multi-reference edits, assign a role to each reference and say what must remain unchanged.
Hard limits to keep in mind
- Still images only.
- Maximum 4 outputs per request.
- Web search is optional and billed per request.
- Edit mode accepts up to 14 reference images.
Safety and likeness
- No sexual content and nothing involving minors.
- No hateful, harassing, or graphic-violence requests.
- Do not impersonate real people or public figures without consent.
- Do not include private personal data or sensitive documents.
