The internet has a new obsession—and it might be the cutest one yet. Pet owners are turning their furry companions into miniature 3D figurines using Google’s Nano Banana AI trend, powered by Gemini 2.5 Flash. From fluffy Shih Tzus to playful kittens, these digital figurines are filling up Instagram and TikTok feeds, drawing comparisons to collectible action figures.
What is the Nano Banana AI Trend?
The Nano Banana trend allows users to convert pet photos into hyper-cute 3D models. Google’s Nano Banana Labs explains it best: “Your miniature schnauzer just got even more mini.”
The official method is simple:
- Upload a photo of your pet.
- Type: “Turn my pet into a plastic action figure next to its packaging.”
- Let Gemini AI generate a lifelike 3D figurine of your pet.
Trying it Out: My Shih Tzu’s Transformation
Curious about the hype, I tried it with my Shih Tzu, Shiro. The first attempt was adorable, but I pushed further using an enhanced ChatGPT-powered prompt, which gave even more customisable and detailed results.
Here’s the upgraded prompt I used:
Nano Banana Cute Pet Prompt
“Transform my pet [insert breed/name] into a tiny, ultra-cute Nano Banana 3D figurine. Make the eyes extra sparkling, the fur soft and fluffy, and the pose playful and lovable. Add cheerful colours, whimsical details like paw prints or banana accessories, and give it a joyful expression in a cartoonish, hyper-cute 3D style.”
The results? Irresistibly cute—and instantly shareable.
Pro Tips to Get the Perfect Figurine
- Pick a personality pose: “Tilted head with tongue out” or “curling up in a nap.”
- Detail fur and eyes: “Golden fluffy fur with emerald green eyes.”
- Add accessories: Tiny bows, hats, or even banana-shaped toys.
- Use lighting effects: “Soft sunlight glowing on fur” for extra realism.
For cat owners, try a chibi-style prompt:
“Transform my cat into a chibi Nano Banana 3D figurine with oversized head, tiny banana shoes, pastel fur, playful expression, and floating bananas around it.”
Why the Trend is Exploding
From Twitter (X) to Instagram Reels, the Nano Banana AI pet figurine trend is spreading fast. Whether it’s a golden retriever in tiny shoes or a tabby cat surrounded by bananas, the results are so charming that it’s no wonder users can’t stop sharing them.
This mix of personalisation, cuteness, and shareability has made Nano Banana one of 2025’s most viral AI experiments.
