Gemini AI Trend: Step-by-Step Guide to Create Couple Polaroid Photos with Simple Prompt

Instagram is buzzing with a new viral trend — AI-generated Polaroid-style couple photos created using Google Gemini’s Nano Banana tool. This is an edited view that might look like it was retro-fied with a professional treatment, but it is possible to do so in a matter of minutes with just two photos and a carefully crafted prompt.

The craze for these kinds of edits has been enormous because they are easy, free, and vastly shareable-one of this season's biggest AI-fueled social media crazes.

What is Nano Banana and Why is it Trending?

Nano Banana, a new feature in the Gemini app, lets users instantly create trendy AI images ranging from retro Polaroids to celebrity-style edits. The best part? You don’t need professional editing skills — just upload a photo, add a prompt, and let Gemini handle the rest.

Users are experimenting with couple portraits, pet edits, and celebrity Polaroids, flooding Instagram with creative, nostalgic-looking snaps.

How to Create an AI Couple Polaroid in Gemini

Follow these simple steps to join the trend:

Step 1: Open the Gemini app and select “Create Images” under tools.

Step 2: Upload two photos — of yourself, your partner, or even a celebrity/pet.

Step 3: Copy this ready-made prompt:

“The photo must be a Polaroid one, with a sort of retro grainy texture. The shot abides by the principle of an everyday snapshot, not prepared or artificially functioning, meaning it must depict natural and spontaneous portrayals. The faces of the boy and girl must remain unchanged; no alterations will be made to their facial characteristics. The neat and airy backdrop will be formed by a setting of white curtains. Also, the background should be softly blurred to give a Polaroid look with consistent flash-like lighting as if taken in a dim room. Some warm, playful poses should be captured in pictures by the couple, suitable to feel together and comfortable with one another, setting soft yet bright lighting for a dreamy Polaroid mood.”

Step 4: Paste the prompt into Gemini’s prompt box.

Step 5: Tap Generate and wait for the AI to process your photo.

Step 6: Review the result, then download or share your Polaroid online.

Step 7 (Optional): Modify your prompt or try a new photo if you want a different variation.

A Note of Caution

While AI tools are fun to use, experts remind users to avoid using someone’s photo without consent, as it may breach privacy. Always generate and share responsibly.
