How creators work

Turn a selfie into an editorial headshot

The r/ChatGPT thread on TIME-cover style portraits comes down to four moves.

01

Upload 3 or 4 clear photos

Well-lit shots of one face from different angles give the model your likeness from every side.

02

Write the brief in sections

Goal, identity, lighting, wardrobe: one block each.

03

Pick 2K or 4K for the keeper

Test at 1K for 20 credits, then render the one you like at 2K for 30 or 4K for 45.

04

Run two or three takes

Keep the one that looks most like you.

Access

Run Nano Banana 2 without a Gemini plan or an API key

It runs here in your browser on credits: no Gemini plan with a daily image limit, no AI Studio key to set up. The weights are private, so there is nothing to download.

Three things Nano Banana 2 does best, according to Reddit

Studio light that follows your words

Studio light that follows your words

"A cleaner lighting and shadow control. More premium feel overall," one r/GeminiAI reply said. Here soft diffused light on a burgundy backdrop picks out every embroidered thread.

  • Name the light: soft and diffused
  • Give the lens: 85mm portrait lens
  • Name the backdrop colour: deep burgundy-red studio backdrop
A new image built from your own references

A new image built from your own references

"Take the character from the first image" opened one creator's prompt that turned a face and a pair of boots into a sorceress gown.

  • Number the uploads: the face from the first image, the boots from the second
  • Say what to drop: without her outfit and accessories
  • For a likeness, upload 3 or 4 clear photos of the same face
Skin, pores and hair that hold up at 4K

Skin, pores and hair that hold up at 4K

A side-by-side on r/ImagineAiArt praised its "Visible skin texture, slight imperfections, more natural lighting and hair details". This face wears wet paint down to the pores.

  • Ask for texture by name: realistic pores, fine hair strands
  • List what you don't want: plastic skin, beauty filter
  • Render the keeper at 4K for 45 credits
Prompts

Nano Banana 2 prompts you can copy

"What's the prompt?" is the reply every good image collects. Here are the creators' own, word for word.

An ocean in a popsicle

An ocean in a popsicle

@mr_farman_ai

Point of view, the object, what is inside it, then the street behind.

First-person perspective, one hand holding a surreal ice cream bar with a transparent blue shell revealing an underwater scene inside, featuring a small diver, a few small fish, floating bubbles, and churning waves. A green ice stick runs through the center. The ice bar is slightly melted, with a wooden stick at the bottom, which the hand is holding. The background is a blurred New York cityscape street, captured in a high-end product photography style.

The black hat

@afrinxai

Backdrop, wardrobe, which features stay visible, then the light and lens.

High-fashion studio portrait of an elegant woman in dramatic chiaroscuro lighting against a solid dark gray backdrop. She wears an oversized wide-brimmed black wool felt hat tilted downward, casting deep shadows that completely obscure her eyes and forehead. Visible are her delicate jawline, sculpted cheekbones, and bold matte crimson red lips. She is dressed in an off-the-shoulder black bandage evening dress, highlighting her exposed collarbone and sleek neck. Directional soft key light from the side, deep shadows, minimalist, sophisticated, shot on 85mm lens, f/1.8, crisp detail, vogue editorial style.

The rivals people name most, and where it comes out ahead.

Nano Banana 2 vs Nano Banana Pro

On Kavel it also edits your photos, which Pro here does not, and a 1K image costs two thirds of Pro's credits.

“Honestly, I often find nb 2 better than nb pro, especially when it comes to how close it follows the prompt.”

Nano Banana 2 vs GPT Image 2

An r/OpenAI test ran one night-time portrait prompt through both. The top reply gave it the light.

“NB2 gets the lighting instruction correct, GPT2 just applied a camera flash.”

FAQ

Nano Banana 2 FAQ

The questions people ask most in the threads.

You can start free: log in and Kavel adds free credits with no card, which run Kavel's own image engine and Nano Banana 2 Lite. The full model runs on any paid plan or credit pack, cost shown before you generate.

20 credits at 1K, 30 at 2K and 45 at 4K, and a photo edit costs the same as a text prompt. Failed runs are refunded automatically.

Right here in the browser: pick the model, type or upload, and generate. No Gemini subscription or AI Studio key needed.

Pick 2 when the image starts from your own photos, since on Kavel it edits and Pro does not, or when you want more takes: 20 credits at 1K, two thirds of Pro's price.

Upload three or four clear photos of the face instead of one, and write that facial features stay unchanged. Run two or three takes and keep the closest.

Yes. Upload the photo, choose 4K and ask for it plainly, for example: please upscale this low-resolution image. A 4K result costs 45 credits.

The prompt cards above carry creators' full prompts, word for word from their posts. Copy one, or press Run to load it into the generator.

Put the exact words in quotes and keep each label short. For a real product, upload two or three photos of its label so the model copies the lettering.
