In the past week, Google’s Gemini 2.5 Flash Image model, known as Nano Banana AI, has gained immense popularity as users share their creative results. Within just a few days, the model has been utilized to transform photos into 3D representations, retro-style selfies, fictional self-portraits on book covers, and much more. Here are some Google-approved prompts to refresh your profile picture: 1. **Paperback Novel Cover Art**: If you’ve ever imagined being the central character in a gripping novel, this prompt can help you become the face of a well-loved thriller. **Prompt**: “Turn me into the cover character on a well-worn paperback bestseller.” 2.
**Video Game Character**: For those who see themselves as a pixelated hero from a classic 1995 arcade game, this prompt offers a neon take on your attire. **Prompt**: “Without altering my outfit, what would I look like as a racing video game character from the 90s?” (Note: This prompt required some refinement for better results.) 3. **Ceramic Mug Head**: If you’re looking for a profile picture that can also serve as a fun drinking mug, this transformation is for you. **Prompt**: “Retaining my likeness, make a ceramic mug of my head. Make my head the mug.” 4.
**Graffiti Mural**: Whether you’re aiming to make a bold statement or simply want to stand out, this prompt will blow up your image into a large, street-style mural. **Prompt**: “Turn me into a big, graffiti tempera on the side of a structure.” 5. **Amigurumi Collectible Doll**: Transform your likeness into a cuddly crochet toy doll, complete with yarn hair and button eyes. **Prompt**: “Turn me into a highly-detailed amigurumi doll sitting on a shelf.” Note that refining this prompt with Qwen can yield better results, such as: “Make me a minimalist amigurumi doll, sitting on a shelf, pastel colors.”
