What is Nano Banana AI Trend
• It’s powered by Gemini 2.5 Flash Image from Google.
• Purpose: Turn a photo (selfie, portrait, or of anything: pets, people, etc.) into a hyper-realistic 3D figurine or collectible toy image. The visuals typically include acrylic bases, packaging mockups, toy-collectible style presentation.
• It’s free to use via the Gemini app or Google AI Studio, and requires no advanced technical skill. That’s why it spread so fast.

How to Create Your Own Nano Banana Figurine
Here are the steps to follow, and tips to get better results.
1. Get the Gemini App / Use Google AI Studio
• If not already installed, get Gemini (or use AI Studio if available online).
• Log in. It’s free and open for many users.
2. Choose a Good Photo
• Use a clear photo: good lighting, sharp focus, minimal background distractions. Portraits or images where the subject is clearly visible work best.
• Full-body or at least chest up, depending how much detail you want.
3. Use / Write a Prompt
• Combine the photo with a textual prompt describing what you want. For example (from what people are using):
“Create a 1/7 scale commercialized figurine of the characters in the picture, in a realistic style, in a real environment. The figurine is placed on a computer desk. Next to the computer screen is a toy packaging box, designed in a style reminiscent of high-quality collectible figures, printed with original artwork.”
• You can tweak: style (e.g. “superhero theme”, “retro anime packaging”, “glossy”, etc.), pose, base, surroundings.
4. Generate & Review
• Submit, wait for the AI to produce the figurine image. Usually it’s quick (seconds).
• Review output: check pose, expression, lighting, outfit details. If needed adjust prompt or change the photo and try again.
5. Download & Share
• Once you’re happy, save the final image. Share on social media, galleries, etc. Many are posting directly to Instagram, X (Twitter), TikTok, etc.

Tips for Best Results
• Use good light and clean background in the source photo. The cleaner the input, the better the model can render details.
Mention scale (“1/7 figurine”), materials (“acrylic base”), background (“computer desk”, packaging box), style (“realistic style”, high gloss) etc.
• Try variations of the prompt to see what style you prefer (toy packaging, vintage, futuristic etc).
• If some details (like face, hands) are weird, try a different photo angle. Sometimes the model struggles with extreme angles or low resolution.
• Experiment and iterate: generate multiple versions and choose your favourite.
