Tired of burning 30 minutes on a “good” prompt and still getting the wrong layout, weird typography, or a carousel where the product subtly changes every slide? Yeah - I've seen that exact failure mode with Nano Banana Pro in real design work.
This post fixes that with copy‑pasteable Nano Banana Pro prompt templates plus 50+ examples tuned for 2026 workflows: brand consistency, 4K realism, clean text, and multi‑image reasoning.
Important
[!IMPORTANT] Nano Banana Pro performs best when prompts have one goal, clear constraints (format, camera, lighting), and explicit outputs (aspect ratio, background, copy rules). Don’t bundle five edits into one request.
What makes a Nano Banana Pro prompt "pro" in 2026
A “pro” prompt is a reusable recipe, not a one-off idea. It clearly defines the output spec (size, style, text rules), the subject spec (materials, colors, identity locks), and - maybe most importantly - the failure rules (what absolutely must not change).
Here’s the structure I keep coming back to when I need predictable results:
Prompt scaffold (copy/paste)
Goal: (single outcome) Subject: (who/what + identifiers) Composition: (camera angle, framing, negative space) Lighting: (studio setup or environment) Style: (realistic, editorial, vector, etc.) Typography rules: (font class, casing, kerning, legibility) Constraints: (what must not change) Output: (aspect ratio, resolution, background, file intent)
Control knobs that matter most
- Identity lock: “same person/product across all images; keep facial features/logo geometry unchanged.”
- Text rendering guardrails: “short text only; all caps; no stylized ligatures; high contrast; no misspellings.”
- Consistency tokens: reuse the same exact descriptors for materials, lens, lighting, and palette.
Best Nano Banana Pro prompts for brand-consistent product design (12 prompts)
These prompts are all about e-commerce and packaging visuals, where consistency is king and novelty takes a backseat. Use reference images (product shots, label files, brand palette) whenever you can - honestly, it’s usually the difference between “nice” and “shippable.”
Tip
[!TIP] For product consistency, keep these tokens identical across runs: lens, lighting, background material, color temperature, and camera angle. Change only one variable per variant.
Prompt 1: 4K studio packshot (neutral)

Best Nano Banana Pro prompts for typography, posters, and ad layouts (12 prompts)

Best Nano Banana Pro prompts for UI/UX mockups and multi-image reasoning (10 prompts)

Common failure modes and how to debug prompts fast
When results start to drift, the fix is usually boring (but effective): tighten your constraints and reduce the degrees of freedom.
Text is misspelled or warped
Use shorter copy. Enforce the casing. Avoid long sentences entirely.
Warning
[!WARNING] If the image must ship with exact legal copy, generate the layout without any text at all. Add the final text in Figma or Illustrator. AI text rendering still fails with dense copy.
Product identity changes across variants
Add “same exact label geometry, same proportions, no redesign.” Use a reference image. And explicitly ask to “only change X.” (This sounds obvious, but people skip it all the time.)
Layout keeps changing
Lock the composition. Use explicit framing like “centered, straight-on, 10% margins.” Avoid words like “dynamic” or “cinematic” if you need the output to be repeatable.
Over-retouching on portraits
Specify “natural skin texture” and “no beauty filter look.” You can even ask for “subtle retouching only.”
Case-study data points (what "good" looks like in production)
Here’s the thing: real-world benchmarks matter more than prompt novelty.
- Shopify reported a 36% conversion lift after redesigning their checkout UX. So when you're generating UI variants, use this as your benchmark: are you measuring conversion, or just getting distracted by aesthetics?
- Netflix has documented that artwork personalization and creative testing materially impact engagement. The lesson here is to treat any Nano Banana Pro output as a testable creative variant, not the final word.
- Spotify is famous for its systematic creative iteration. The measurable win comes from controlled variation and consistent brand tokens, not from random prompt novelty.
(These are industry-known, publicly discussed patterns; their exact internal prompt tooling is not public.)
Start Here
Start here (your first step)
Create a one-page prompt template doc and rewrite 10 prompts from this post into your brand scaffold. You can do this in 30 minutes.
Quick wins (immediate impact)
- Generate 8 product packshot variants where only one attribute changes (like the cap color). Approve the most consistent set.
- Produce 3 hero backgrounds with explicit negative space and no text, then add your final type in Figma.
Deep dive (for those who want more)
- Build a “prompt regression test”: rerun the same base prompt every week and track any drift (in identity, text, or layout) across 20 outputs.
- Create a team prompt library with 5 locked tokens (lens, lighting, palette, background, aspect ratio) and enforce them during reviews.
