Image Editing with Google Nano Banana

Whether you’re restoring an old photo, adjusting lighting, or creating complex multi-turn edits, Nano Banana combines speed, fidelity, and world knowledge to deliver results that feel both natural and precise.

✨ Core Editing Features

1. Local & Global Edits

• Make changes to a specific part of an image or transform the entire scene.
• Works seamlessly across small tweaks and large-scale transformations.

Example Prompts:

• “Remove the person standing in the background.”
• “Change this photo of the park from daytime to sunset.”

2. Multi-Turn Conversational Editing

• Unlike traditional “one-shot” systems, Nano Banana allows step-by-step refinements.
• Each step builds naturally on the previous edit without breaking image consistency.

Example Workflow:

• Prompt 1: “Make this a sunset.”
• Prompt 2: “Add lanterns along the path.”
• Prompt 3: “Put fireworks in the background.”

3. Recoloring & Restoration

• Photo restoration: Repair scratches, sharpen blurry details, and colorize black-and-white images.
• Creative recoloring: Change clothing colors, product finishes, or entire palettes with realistic lighting and textures.

Example Prompts:

• “Restore this old photo: remove scratches and sharpen the details.”
• “Recolor this black-and-white wedding photo into natural colors.”

4. Object Addition & Removal

5. Pose & Layout Adjustments

• Works with structured compositions like product catalogs, ID cards, or fashion lookbooks.

Example Prompts:

• “Make this photo look like a cinematic scene with dramatic shadows.”

🎨 Identity & Style Stability

Nano Banana preserves faces, pets, and brand visuals across edits.
