Google Nano Banana represents Google's state-of-the-art image generation and editing model. This tool provides both text-to-image and image-to-image capabilities for creating and modifying visual content.
Getting Started
Access the Nano Banana interface through the HypeClip platform. Two primary modes enable different creative workflows: text-to-image generation creates new images from written descriptions, while image-to-image editing modifies existing visuals.
Interface Components
Image Title Field
Enter a descriptive title for your generated image in this required field. The system uses this title to organize and identify your image within the library. Choose titles that clearly describe the content or purpose of your image.
Example titles:
- "Product mockup for mobile app"
- "Landscape with mountains at sunset"
- "Corporate headshot with blue background"
Prompt Field
Describe the image you want to generate or edit in the prompt field. This required input drives the AI's creative process. Write detailed, specific descriptions to achieve better results.
Effective prompting techniques:
- Include specific details about style, colors, and composition
- Mention lighting conditions and mood
- Specify the type of shot or perspective desired
- Add technical details like camera settings or artistic medium
Strong prompt example: "Professional product photography of a sleek smartphone on a white marble surface, soft studio lighting, shallow depth of field, commercial style"
Weak prompt example: "Phone picture"
Input Images Section
The optional input images feature enables image-to-image workflows. Three methods allow you to provide reference images:
Choose from Past Generations
Select previously generated images from your HypeClip library. This option streamlines workflows when building upon earlier creations or maintaining visual consistency across projects.
Upload Files
Upload images directly from your device. The system accepts common image formats including JPEG, PNG, and WebP files. Upload reference images, style guides, or base images for editing.
Enter File URL
Provide a direct URL to an image hosted online. Ensure the URL points directly to the image file, not a webpage containing the image.
Number of Images
Select how many variations you want the model to generate simultaneously. The dropdown menu allows you to choose from 1 to multiple images per generation. Higher quantities provide more creative options but consume more processing resources.
Using Text-to-Image Mode
Text-to-image mode creates entirely new images from written descriptions. Follow these steps:
- Set your image title - Enter a clear, descriptive name for organization
- Write your prompt - Describe your desired image with specific details
- Choose quantity - Select how many variations you want
- Generate - Submit your request and wait for processing
Leave the input images section empty when using text-to-image mode. The AI will create original content based solely on your written prompt.
Using Image-to-Image Mode
Image-to-image mode modifies existing images according to your prompt instructions. This workflow requires both a prompt and a reference image:
- Provide reference image - Upload a file, enter a URL, or select from past generations
- Write editing prompt - Describe the changes you want to apply
- Add image title - Name your edited version appropriately
- Select quantity - Choose how many variations to generate
- Process - Submit for AI editing
Your prompt should describe the modifications, additions, or style changes you want applied to the reference image.
Optimization Tips
Prompt Structure
Begin prompts with the main subject, then add descriptive elements. Structure your descriptions logically: subject → style → lighting → composition → technical details.
Reference Image Quality
High-resolution, well-lit reference images produce better results in image-to-image mode. Images with clear subjects and good contrast provide stronger foundations for AI editing.
Iterative Refinement
Generate multiple variations to explore different possibilities. Use successful generations as reference images for further refinement. Save promising results to your library for future projects.
Style Consistency
Maintain visual consistency across projects by reusing successful prompts and reference images. Create a personal library of effective prompts for different styles and use cases.
Common Workflows
Brand Asset Creation

- Apply final adjustments with detailed editing prompts
Product Visualization
- Upload product photos as reference images
- Use prompts to place products in different environments
- Adjust lighting and backgrounds through iterative editing
- Generate multiple presentation styles for marketing materials
Style Transfer Projects
- Upload your source image
- Write prompts describing the target artistic style

File Management
Generated images save automatically to your HypeClip library under the titles you specify. Organize your work by using consistent naming conventions that include project names, dates, or version numbers.
Review your past generations regularly to identify successful prompts and techniques. The "Choose from Past Generations" feature becomes more valuable as you build a library of quality reference materials.
