This guide explains how Nano Banana works, how to set it up, how to achieve the best results and how different professional niches can integrate the tool into their workflows. It contains step-by-step instructions, technical explanations, prompt patterns and troubleshooting for advanced users.

What Nano Banana Does

Nano Banana generates high-quality images from short text prompts and optional product uploads. It focuses on commercial clarity rather than abstract art or stylized fiction. The model understands how ecommerce photography works, so it recreates:

•  Studio surface textures like glass, marble, linen and wood
•  Directional and soft lighting designed to highlight products
• Realistic shadow depth for visual weight
• Glossy and matte reflections on metal, skin, fabric and plastic
•  Near-perfect edges without distortions

The output is optimized for marketing use rather than creative experimentation. Nano Banana delivers the sort of image that immediately fits into:

•  TikTok and Facebook ad creative
•  Instagram feed carousels and story covers
•  Amazon and Shopify product listings
•  Landing pages and direct-response banners
•  Print-on-demand variations
•  Brand storytelling visuals

It removes the typical delays associated with photoshoots, designer revisions and image retouching. Users generate multiple variations in minutes and select the best one for publishing.

Why Nano Banana Matters in the VidAU Ecosystem

VidAU provides a full advertising workflow across AI video, AI avatars, video editing, subtitles, translation, and performance scaling. Nano Banana fits into this workflow by providing high-quality product images that support the rest of the advertising pipeline.

Nano Banana solves core visual bottlenecks:

Once a strong product image is produced, it can be used inside other VidAU tools

• Lack of professional product photography
• Inconsistent visual identity between campaigns
•  High revision cost when testing new creative concepts
• Difficulty producing platform-specific image formats
•  Limited time for experimentation during trend windows

Without strong product visuals, conversion drops across every channel. Nano Banana builds the foundation for video ads, social ads and landing pages by supplying sharp, attractive and scroll-stopping assets.

•  URL to Video Ads
•  Image to Video AI
•  Product to Video Ads
•  Sample to Video
•  AI Video Generator

Nano Banana becomes the visual source for an end-to-end performance marketing workflow.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1 – Open Nano Banana

Sign in to your VidAU dashboard.
Click AI Image in the left navigation menu.
On the left sidebar, click Projects to view past work or start fresh. At the top of the workspace, open the model dropdown and select Nano Banana. You will now see the Nano Banana header with the tag Better, cheaper and faster. The Prompt box and the Reference image panel appear on the page.
This is where every Nano Banana image begins.

Step 2 — Write Your Prompt

The prompt box tells Nano Banana what to create. Keep the wording simple and visual. Describe what the viewer should see, not how the image should “feel.” Focus on the subject, the background and the lighting. A clear sentence works better than long paragraphs. For example, “Perfume bottle on a marble table, soft daylight, golden reflections” gives the model a direct scene to build. Once the image is clear in your head, type it in and stop. Nano Banana does the rest.

Prompt Example:
Create a close-up image of matte black wireless headphones hanging on a sleek metal stand. Keep the headphones positioned slightly angled forward to show the ear cups clearly. Add soft studio lighting from both sides to reveal the matte texture and subtle curves of the design. Highlight the stitching and cushion detail on the ear pads with gentle rim light. Keep the shadows tight and controlled under the stand for a polished studio look. Use a neutral background with a smooth gradient that moves from light gray to darker gray to add depth without distraction. Maintain a strong commercial style suitable for audio branding, product ads and e commerce listings.

Step 3 — Upload a Reference Image

Below the prompt box, you can add a reference photo. This helps the model match your real product, brand colors or character design. If brand accuracy matters, upload the photo. If you want a free-style result, skip it. The moment the upload is done, Nano Banana links the prompt with your reference and prepares the visual settings.

Step 4 — Choose Your Aspect Ratio

This setting controls the shape of your final image. Pick 9:16 if the picture is for TikTok, Instagram Reels or mobile viewing. For feed post Pick 1:1 or 4:5 if you want a square or portrait. Pick 16:9 for landscape layouts like YouTube thumbnails or website banners. Once you choose the ratio that matches where you will publish, Nano Banana locks the frame to that format.

Step 5 — Review Credits and Generate

You will see the credit number under the aspect ratio. If everything looks correct, click Generate. Nano Banana processes the image and shows a preview once it completes. Nothing else is needed. There is no editing, no setup and no waiting for long render times. If the result needs small adjustments, update the prompt and generate again. Each round gives a new polished version.

Industries and Teams Nano Banana Supports

Nano Banana is used across multiple professional segments:

Ecommerce Product Sellers

They need consistent visuals that highlight the physical value of their products. Nano Banana helps sellers upgrade both listings and ads without studios or equipment.

TikTok and Meta Ad Creators

Ad results depend on click-through rate. High-contrast, glossy, energetic product visuals improve thumbnail performance and hook strength.

Amazon and Shopify Sellers

Conversion rates rise when listings include professional studio photos and lifestyle mockups. Nano Banana builds both with short inputs.

Print-On-Demand Sellers

POD creators test dozens of concepts. Nano Banana produces fast, clear variations without manual mockup editing.

Branding and Creative Agencies

Nano Banana helps agencies build moodboards and direction boards faster. It accelerates testing before clients approve costly production.

Solo Creators and Small Marketing Teams

Users without design experience can still generate consistent visual branding across channels.

Each niche receives a different benefit, but the workflow remains identical and easy to scale.

Best Practices for Strong Visual Output

• Keep the subject first
  Start the prompt with the product, not the environment.
  Correct: “Perfume bottle on glass surface with golden glow.”
  Avoid: “A room with gold light and a glass table holding a perfume bottle.”
  Nano Banana prioritizes the first object it sees.

• Use lighting purposefully
  Lighting determines clarity.
  Soft daylight improves lifestyle and skincare.
  Spotlight improves tech and accessories.
  Neon light improves TikTok and gaming niches.

• Control background detail
  Background supports the product but should not compete for attention.
  One background element is enough.

• Use reference uploads strategically
  Upload a real product image when accuracy matters.
  Skip uploads when creativity matters.

• Maintain consistency across campaigns
  Re-use the same surface and lighting terms across variations for brand consistency.

Prompt Patterns by Niche

Ecommerce

“Vitamin C serum on glossy dark marble with sharp reflections and warm spotlight.”

TikTok and Meta Ads

“Shaker bottle with neon blue rim light, high contrast, liquid splash, polished metal texture.”

Amazon & Shopify

“White electric toothbrush floating on a clean white background, crisp shadows and reflective base.”

Branding Agencies

“Luxury watch on matte slate stone surface with deep soft light and narrow depth of field.”

Print-On-Demand

“Black hoodie on a hanger in a minimal concrete room with soft natural daylight and subtle texture.”

Each one keeps the prompt simple and commercial-focused.

Troubleshooting and Correction Techniques

Nano Banana actively prioritizes clarity. Fixing one element at a time usually solves output issues.

Scaling Workflow for High-Volume Creatives

Teams generating ads or multiple listings can scale quickly using this workflow:

1. Write 3 prompt variations
   
2. Upload 1 to 3 product angles
   
3. Keep lighting consistent for brand identity
   
4. Generate batches of images
   
5. Sort and export strongest results

This produces:

• Thumbnail version
•  Landing-page version
•  Amazon listing version
•  UGC ad version
•  TikTok scroll-stopper version

The workflow replaces photoshoot days with a structured digital creative pipeline.
