Generation Workflow

Generation quality depends on clear intent, compatible inputs, and controlled iteration. Treat each task as an image brief.

Choose the right input mode

Use text-to-image when the idea is flexible and you want the model to invent the scene. Use image editing when identity, product shape, layout, or style must stay close to a source image.

Assign each reference a role

When you upload multiple source images, tell Nano Banana 2 Lite what each asset is for:

@image1 is the product reference and must stay consistent.
@image2 defines the background style.
The final image should combine the product from @image1 with the lighting mood from @image2.

Avoid vague instructions like “use these references” when the assets have different jobs.

Upload clean source files

Use the file types and size limits shown in the app. If an upload fails, try a smaller file, a common image format, a stable network, and a simple file name.

For stronger control:

• use clear images when identity, product shape, or layout matters;
• avoid screenshots with heavy compression, watermarks, or cluttered UI;
• upload only content you have the right to use.

Control the image brief

Describe the visual requirements instead of only describing mood:

• subject: what must appear in the image;
• composition: framing, camera angle, and crop;
• style: realism, illustration style, or product photography direction;
• constraints: text, brand colors, details to preserve, and details to avoid.

This makes the request easier to interpret and easier to revise.

Iterate in small changes

When a result misses the intent, identify the main failure before rerunning:

• subject identity changed;
• composition is cropped or framed incorrectly;
• details are missing or changed;
• prompt contains competing style instructions;
• source image does not match the requested output.

Change the smallest instruction that addresses the failure. Keep the parts that already worked.

Review credits before submitting

Credits may be consumed when processing starts. Check visible pricing, model, resolution, aspect ratio, output format, and source-image settings before submitting a generation task.

Save finished results

When a result is ready, download a local copy if you plan to reuse it. If a download is missing, refresh the task page, check creation history, and save the task details before contacting support.
