From retro portraits to artistic sketches, the tool has unlocked new creative styles — and the best part, many are available for free.

Here are five trending styles you should definitely try with Gemini Nano Banana AI:

1. Restore and Colorize Old Photos

Bring black-and-white or faded photographs back to life. Simply use the prompt: “Restore and colorize this photo” to generate a refreshed, vibrant version of your memories.

2. Gourmet Food Transformation

Ever wondered how your everyday ingredients would look plated at a fine-dining restaurant? Use the prompt:

“Turn these ingredients into a refined, delicious-looking dessert. Plate it as if it were a dish at a 5-star avant-garde restaurant.”

3. Pencil Drawing Effect

Turn your favorite selfie or picture into an artistic sketch. The prompt “Turn this photo into a pencil drawing” creates hand-drawn style results that look like custom artwork.

4. Tropical House Makeover

Redesign your home with a vacation vibe. Try the prompt:

“Transform this house into a vibrant tropical island design. Replace the roof with thatch, add bamboo structural elements, and surround it with palm trees and colorful plants.”

5. Retro Video Game Character

For gamers and nostalgia lovers, the prompt "Recreate this cat as a 16-bit video game character, and plop him into a 2D platformer level" dishes out quirky, pixelated fun for your edits.
