Nano Banana Prompt Guide: Structure, Examples, and Pitfalls to Avoid
A compact playbook for writing precise Nano Banana Pro prompts: reusable structure, 10 ready-to-ship English prompts, and safeguards for clear text, consistent characters, and 4K outputs.
Want Nano Banana Pro to deliver visuals that look launch-ready instead of drafty? The trick is to structure your prompt, state text requirements up front, and add a tight negative list. This guide gives you a universal formula, Pro-specific tips, and 10 English prompts you can paste and run.
The Golden Prompt Structure
A high-quality prompt typically includes the following elements:
- Goal: poster / product page / social post / infographic; the purpose decides density and whitespace.
- Subject + action: who/what, doing what, mood/pose.
- Framing: close-up / mid-shot / wide, top-down / low-angle / 45°, depth of field, whitespace area.
- Light + material: soft/hard light, neon, high contrast, film grain, metallic/ceramic/wood textures.
- Style + palette: cyberpunk, minimal tech, retro-future, brand colors.
- Text + layout: what title/subtitle/button copy must appear, mono/bilingual.
- Resolution + ratio: 1K/2K/4K, 16:9, 1:1, 9:16, etc.
- Negative keywords: watermark, logos, dirty textures, deformed hands, overexposure, blurry text.
Fast template (fill in the blanks):
A visual for 【goal/use case】. Main subject: 【who/what】 is 【action】. Framing: 【close-up/mid/wide】, lighting: 【type】, style: 【style + palette】. Reserve 【area】 for text; title: “【title】”, subtitle: “【subtitle】”. 4K, sharp, clear structure, readable text. Negative: watermark, blur, deformed hands, misspelled text, stretching.
Nano Banana Pro Prompting Tips
Here are practical tips summarized from experience:
- Lock structure first, then layer style: start with goal + subject + framing + light; add style/material after the layout is stable.
- Text readability: declare the actual copy in the positive prompt; add “text is clear and readable, tidy typography.” Avoid “no text” in negatives or it will remove text entirely.
- Iterate in small steps: change only 1–2 dimensions per pass (e.g., just palette or just lighting) for clean comparisons.
- Character/product consistency: repeat the same colors/outfit/props; keep the same camera language across a series.
- Dense information: specify “grid/card layout” or “symmetry” plus “high-contrast labels” to keep elements aligned.

Quick Start Steps
- Open Nano Banana Pro and select "Text to Image" mode.
- Draft the core line with the golden structure.
- Pick aspect ratio and resolution (16:9 for marketing, 4:5 or 1:1 for social, 9:16 for short video covers).
- Put the exact copy in the positive prompt; do not suppress text in negatives.
- Change one variable at a time (lighting/palette/layout) and compare.
- Keep a reusable negative list to reduce defects.
Pitfalls to Avoid
- Missing or warped text: state "text is clear and readable, tidy typography," and avoid "no text."
- Crowded layout: define the use case, info density, and where whitespace goes.
- Inconsistent characters: repeat outfit colors, hairstyle, props; keep the same scene/camera language across shots.
- Low-end finish: specify materials like "soft volumetric light," "glassmorphism," "brushed metal" or "ceramic."
- Off-brand colors: pin "brand primary + secondary," then ask for "harmonized palette with clear contrast."
Follow this structure-first, negative-tight approach and you'll ship production-ready visuals in minutes. Save the template, paste a prompt, and iterate.
