Introduction

Over the past few days, my social media feeds have been completely flooded with various Nano Banana Pro use cases. As someone who closely follows AI technology developments, I've spent considerable time carefully studying dozens of real-world Nano Banana Pro applications. Honestly, some of these cases truly shocked me—this is no longer just an "AI assistant tool," but rather a new paradigm of "AI direct creation."

Today, I want to share 10 of the most stunning real-world cases with you. These are not official promotional demos, but actual works created by real users with Nano Banana Pro, demonstrating just how astonishingly far AI image generation technology has evolved.

1. From Coordinates to Historical Moments: This Isn't Just Drawing, It's Reasoning!

1763911740455_pgi3v3_39ee9d1a003fd479e17adc10e06a71a8843bec6ca8f35fd99a5cc04b31ef1761

The first case completely upended my understanding.

Nano Banana Pro not only correctly parsed this as a geographic coordinate, but also through its vast world knowledge base, deduced that this coordinate points to the Titanic shipwreck location, and accordingly generated an image depicting this major historical disaster.

What's remarkable about this case is that it proves Nano Banana Pro has transcended simple "text-to-image" conversion. It possesses the comprehensive ability to ①recognize specific data formats (coordinates), ②associate world knowledge (historical events), ③perform logical reasoning, and ④ultimately create visual art. This is a qualitative leap.

Prompt:

"Create an image of the major event that happened at these coordinates: 41°43′32″N 49°56′49″W."

2. 5000-Word Paper Instantly Becomes "Professor's Whiteboard"—Complex Information at a Glance

1763911752535_p6ya5h_f2869cd85e88f830a2253a192b04c3658d411e1072d3dfd126ccf47262ea171b

Information overload is everyone's pain point. This case demonstrates Nano Banana Pro's tremendous potential in information visualization. A user threw a 5000+ word paper at it, requesting conversion into a professor's lecture whiteboard image.

The result was astonishing. Nano Banana Pro not only accurately extracted the paper's core structure, but also presented key information in a highly structured manner using typography and fonts that perfectly matched the "whiteboard" style. Whether in summarization ability or simulation of the specific "whiteboard" scenario style, it excelled. For those needing to quickly understand complex documents and knowledge, this is simply a game-changer.

Prompt:

Convert this paper into a Chinese professor's whiteboard image to help me understand the information

This case showcases Nano Banana Pro's remarkable ability in game scene creation. The user simply described a GTA 5 online mode scene—a person shooting at a car.

The model not only accurately understood GTA 5's visual style, but also generated imagery with distinctive game characteristics: from character movements, weapon details, vehicle models to overall color tone and camera angles, it highly restored the game's realism. This precise grasp of specific game art styles is undoubtedly a powerful tool for game content creators and player communities.

Prompt:

Create a picture of GTA 5 online where a person is shooting a car

4. One-Click Generation of "Figure" Product Page—From Concept to Commercialization

1763911691802_s4gk3d_2a36ffff2e7628493350bfd89f66703522526805c61335f1d4beccbbb01d84f8

This case perfectly demonstrates Nano Banana Pro's application potential in commercial design. A Japanese user uploaded an image of their own work, requesting it be made into a complete product introduction page for a 1/7 scale figure named "失恋ガールズ" (Heartbroken Girls).

Nano Banana Pro not only rendered the original image with incredibly realistic "figure" textures, but also automatically designed the logo, laid out detail shots, added Japanese descriptions, manufacturer information and release date, generating an almost indistinguishable commercial-grade product page. From an idea to a complete commercial concept presentation now takes just one sentence.

Prompt:

Please turn this image into an ultra-detailed, figure-style illustration and design a product showcase page for it.

The product name is “Shitsuren Girls” (失恋ガールズ), and it’s a 1/7 scale figure.

The manufacturer is “TENNEN”.

For the TENNEN logo, use a rounded blue square with the word “TENNEN” inside: break the line after “TEN” so “NEN” sits directly underneath, left-aligned, and make the text as large as possible within the rounded square.

Arrange close-up detail shots and other elements so it looks like a professional product page with a clean, visually appealing layout.

Also turn “Shitsuren Girls” into a logo-style wordmark for the product.

5. Understanding Scene and Culture—Generating "Train Advertisement" for a Book

1763911779079_45vaaf_9cbbf9052cbe5d0f6aaeb92065cb1c947523cb5529f797e03129c42251b7d88b

The brilliance of this case lies in the model's need to understand a very specific culture and scenario—"advertisements in Japanese trains." Given a book cover, the user requested generation of corresponding train advertising.

Nano Banana Pro precisely captured several key points: horizontal composition, eye-catching title copy, three-dimensional book display, and commercial selling points (like "reprinted one week after release"). It's not just generating an image, but understanding the design language and communication logic of a specific medium (train advertising).

Prompt:

Please generate an advertising image.


==== Ad Specifications ====

Aspect ratio: 16:9 (landscape)

Product to advertise: the book shown in the first attached image

Key visual / eye-catcher: place the book from the first attached image in a three-dimensional, eye-catching way

We've seen it generate images, but this case showcases its remarkable talent in layout design. The user gave Nano Banana Pro a plain text article, requesting it be placed into a beautifully designed magazine.

The model not only understood the visual style of "magazine articles," but also automatically performed professional layout design, including font selection, text-image integration, pull quotes, and other elements, ultimately outputting a highly design-conscious magazine page photo. This is practically a prototype of automated content layout design.

Prompt:

Put this whole text, verbatim, into a photo of a glossy magazine article on a desk, with photos, beautiful typography design, pull quotes and brave formatting. The text: [...the unformatted article]

This case demonstrates Nano Banana Pro's excellent capabilities in artistic creation and stylized expression. The user requested creation of a dream diary style work featuring pink Kirby.

The model precisely captured the "dreamy and sweet" atmosphere requirement, creating soft macaron-colored imagery and cleverly incorporating cloud, candy sticker, and glitter pencil drawing details. Particularly those rainbow-colored bubbles floating from Kirby's mouth perfectly echo the "dream diary" theme. This understanding of emotional atmosphere and artistic style elevates AI from tool to artistic partner.

Prompt:

Dream diary. Pink Star Kirby sleeping on a star, blowing rainbow-colored bubbles from its mouth. Soft macaron color palette, cloud and candy stickers, glitter pencil drawing details, dreamy and sweet.

8. Hand-Drawn Infographics—Visualizing Ideas

1763911829697_m32nz1_2e51e8de8ad9d9cfeeccb1b5cd5fa68598269ce7103c3bbf29d3f18c17828d0a_large.webp

Converting abstract ideas into intuitive visual information is the value of infographics. The user provided a theme: "Building IP is long-term compounding, persist in daily output..." and requested generation of a hand-drawn style infographic card.

The model precisely captured style requirements like "hand-drawn," "paper texture," and "brush calligraphy," and combined text points with simple, interesting illustrations to create a card that's both informative and artistically beautiful. This capability enables anyone to easily "draw out" their thoughts and perspectives.

Prompt:

Create a hand-drawn style infographic card with a 9:16 vertical ratio. The card has a distinct theme, with a background featuring paper texture in beige or off-white, overall design reflecting rustic, warm hand-drawn aesthetics. At the top, use contrasting red and black large brush calligraphy fonts to highlight the title, attracting visual focus. Text content uses Chinese cursive script, overall layout divided into 2-4 clear sections, each expressing core points with concise Chinese phrases. Font maintains the flowing rhythm of cursive script, both clearly readable and artistically rich. The card is dotted with simple, interesting hand-drawn illustrations or icons, such as characters or symbolic symbols, to enhance visual appeal and provoke reader reflection and resonance. Overall layout emphasizes visual balance, preserving sufficient white space to ensure the image is clean, clear, and easy to read and understand. Theme: "Building IP is long-term compounding, persist in daily output, keep doing it, there will definitely be results, because 99% can't persist."

9. Portrait Consistency Meets Perfect Chinese Support: Personalized Quote Cards

1763911845965_2ve52p_8d6c6520d876dd11fbf6e6dc1194eaa15c8f9bd501228ef40321f293f068a42a_large.webp

This case perfectly demonstrates Nano Banana Pro's two core advantages: excellent portrait consistency maintenance and native Chinese support. By uploading a reference image, users can have the model create personalized celebrity quote cards.

From the results, the model not only achieved professional-level visual design (brown background, serif pale gold text, elegant quotation mark decoration), but more importantly realized high portrait consistency while perfectly presenting Chinese aesthetic characteristics. This means anyone can easily create their own quote cards, whether for social sharing or personal branding.

Prompt:

A wide celebrity quote card, brown background, serif pale gold text "Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish" with small text "—Steve Jobs", a large faint quotation mark before the text, portrait on the left, text on the right, text occupying 2/3 of the image, portrait occupying 1/3, with a gradient transition effect on the portrait

10. Ultimate Precision Control—"Programming" Art with Markdown

1763911857560_ktdxtn_d119891cf29bc0c336be969bd3fd25cac47c8bc4b0176863ec7eabe11c0e2de6_large.webp

This final case represents the ultimate technical approach. The user employed extremely detailed, structured Markdown format prompts, almost "programming" to define every detail of the image—from the subject's age, skin tone, hairstyle, pose, and clothing, to the environment's furnishings, lighting, and colors.

Amazingly, Nano Banana Pro reproduced almost all detail requirements with extremely high precision. This level of control makes it no longer just a "creative tool," but a precisely callable "visual programming interface." For professional designers and visual creators, this means they can control AI output as precisely as writing code.
