Image editing has become even more enjoyable thanks to Google's Nano Banana AI image editing model.
Designed to maintain maximum image consistency, nanobananas can be used with anything, from styling new clothes to replacing objects in your photo. The process is simple and runs with traditional text-based prompts.
You can create images from scratch, but you can also upload your own images for the nanobanana to work with. So far, we've seen using it to turn it into action figures and complete our own selfies, but if you can think of them, all sorts of pieces are possible.
This powerful AI image model is integrated directly into the Gemini app, making it easier to access and use. But if you're just hearing about it for the first time, consider a step-by-step guide to learn how to edit images online for free using nano bananas.

Once you have selected the starting image, specify the edits that Nano Banana will create using a text-based prompt. You don't need to be familiar with the technical terms in the photo. Explain what you want to see differently, as if you were chatting with a friend.
In this example, I uploaded a headshot and asked the nanobanana to wear a suit and to stand in front of a window overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge.
7. Change the background

Nano Banana is specially designed to change the background of your photos. To use this feature, select the photo you want to edit and explain the required background changes.
I used the prompt: Please use the image that generated me in front of the Brooklyn Bridge. Keep everything exactly the same, but instead put it inside your antique library.
8. Mix and Match

Nano Banana is the perfect tool to use when combining two photos. As with editing photos, the way to do this is to upload the photos you want to blend together and explain the new scene you want to create.
To show how that's done, I uploaded a photo of the old lamp to Nano Banana. I then asked for it and asked to replace the book lying on the table with the lamp above.
9. Multi-edit

You can also use Nano Banana to make progressive editing on subsequent images you create.
Let's say you started by adding a tree to an empty field. You can then ask to include the tent in the next version: Repeat this process until you are satisfied with the final result.
10. Applying patterns

Be inspired by the patterns you find around you and allow them to be incorporated into your next design. Upload an image showing the pattern and ask Nano Banana to apply it to the selected object.
In this example, we asked the nanobanana to create a t-shirt inspired by the peacock feathers.
If you follow these examples, you probably need to get a pretty solid grasp of the nanobananas. Why not use it to try and improve your own selfies or find a way to compare them when you went through a nine-round showdown with ChatGPT-5.
