Create and edit images

Gemini can generate a new image, edit a generated or uploaded image, and combine references. Start with a clear visual brief, then refine specific parts through conversation.

Image models, quotas and editing options depend on the selected Gemini model and plan.

Write a visual brief, not a keyword list

🎯

Start with subject and purpose

Explain what the image must communicate and who will use it.

🖼️

Describe the composition

Include setting, framing, style, visual relationships and aspect ratio.

🔤

State exact text

Keep wording short and check spelling, numbers, dates and labels after generation.

Edit what is already close

Weak request
Better request
Why it works
Make it better
Keep the composition and character. Replace only the background with a modern office.
It defines both the change and what must remain.
Fix the text
Keep the design. Replace the heading with “AI for Work” and preserve all other elements.
It isolates the correction.
Change the style
Keep the objects and layout. Convert it to flat 2D vector art with bold outlines.
It avoids an unnecessary restart.

Use references when consistency matters

👤

Carry a person or character across images

Clean references can help preserve a recognizable subject across new contexts.

📦

Keep a product or object recognizable

Multiple references can guide the look, but inspect logos, proportions and details.

⚠️

Treat references as guidance

They do not guarantee pixel-perfect identity, layout or brand accuracy.

A useful image prompt

Create a clean 16:9 flat vector illustration of a business professional comparing three AI tools on a laptop. Use a bright yellow background, bold black outlines, simple shapes and generous empty space. Show no text except the three tool labels on the screen.

When the first image is mostly right, request one targeted edit and say what must stay unchanged.

Run a separate publishing check

🔤

Text and facts

Check spelling, numbers, dates, sequence and whether the visual relationships match the source information.

👋

Faces, hands and products

Inspect identity, anatomy, logos and product details before publishing.

©️

Rights and privacy

Use reference material you are allowed to upload and respect copyright, likeness and confidentiality.

💡
Practical rule

Use Nano Banana 2 for most work. Move to Pro only when an almost-correct image needs more detail, text accuracy or control.
