Nano banana trend takes internet by storm: Step-by-step guide to create such images
A new online trend, the Nano Banana trend, allows users to create custom miniature figures from photos using Google Gemini’s AI.
After the action figure-making trend and the trend to change your picture into Studio Ghibli art, a new trend is spreading on the internet called the Nano Banana trend. This trend lets you turn your picture into custom miniature figures via Google Gemini’s AI.
Under this trend, users give simple prompts to Google Gemini to create realistic figurines of the image given with the prompt. The figurine looks lifelike and is kept in a setting of choice of the user. Users looking to follow this trend and create their own lifelike figurines can follow these steps.

- Open Google Gemini on your mobile or website and log in with your credentials.
