Nano Banana Pro prompts: 30 ready formulas for photos, products, styles and text

Alen founder of KADR Updated 2026-10-14 7 min read

A good Nano Banana Pro prompt has three parts: what to keep (the face, the product, the pose), what to change (background, outfit, style, light) and what format to deliver. The model understands Russian as well as English; the prompts below are in English, and on-image inscriptions are left in Russian to show that the model writes Cyrillic. Copy them, add your own details and upload a photo. The key phrase in almost every prompt is «keep the face unchanged»: without it the model may «improve» the person's looks. Below are 30 ready prompts by topic: photoshoots, background and outfit swaps, products, stylisation, holidays and images with Russian text.

What a good prompt looks like

[What to keep] + [What to change] + [Light and style] + [Format]

Example: «Keep the face and features of the person in the photo unchanged. Studio portrait on a dark grey background, black turtleneck, soft light from the left, shallow depth of field. 4:5».

Three rules:

  1. Say what to keep. Otherwise the model may «improve» the face or the product.
  2. Change one thing at a time. Background, then outfit, then light. That way you are less likely to lose the likeness.
  3. Be specific. «A beautiful background» gives an average result, «an old European street at sunset» gives a real shot.

Always write the text word for word in quotation marks and check every letter: Nano Banana Pro writes Cyrillic legibly but sometimes makes mistakes in long words.

If the result is not right

  • The face changed. Use a sharp front-facing photo, repeat «keep the face unchanged», change less at a time.
  • The product changed. Add «the shape, colour and logo of the product unchanged».
  • The image is too glossy. Add «natural light, film grain, slight imperfections».
  • A mistake in the inscription. Shorten the text, ask for a simple bold font.
