01
Refine the Details That Matter
Build on an image you already love. Use a reference to explore a new background, adjust the lighting, or change the mood, with clear instructions about the details you want to preserve. Develop a fresh version around the product, character, or composition at the heart of your idea.
Turn a specific brief into a clear visual direction. Nano Banana 2 follows detailed instructions for subject placement, camera angles, lighting, and color. Create a product shot with room for campaign copy or an editorial scene with a carefully arranged focal point.
Take the same character or product into new settings. Use visual references to help preserve distinctive features while exploring different scenes, poses, and moods. Build a connected series for a campaign, character study, or storyboard.
Bring headlines and artwork together in one composition. Nano Banana 2 can render text within images, with instructions for wording, type style, and placement. Explore posters, greeting cards, and promotional concepts where the message has a clear place in the design.
Create striking 4K images with NanoBanana 2 in MiniMax Design. Explore rich textures, nuanced lighting, and fine details that give your visuals depth, from soft fabric and polished glass to the atmosphere of a cinematic scene.
Move from a first concept to new possibilities with Flash-level image generation and editing. Explore a warmer palette, a different setting, or a fresh composition, then develop the direction that fits your brief. Keep the creative process moving as your idea takes shape.

Video Thumbnails
Give your video a clear visual hook. Explore subject placement, contrasting colors, and a short headline, then review the composition at thumbnail size to see what stands out.
Explore a prompt, bring it into focus, and make it the starting point for your next image.
Design an experimental comic poster featuring one original courier character vaulting diagonally across three broken panels. Their trailing boot and coat begin as loose graphite construction lines, their torso becomes bold violet-and-lime comic illustration, and their reaching hand dissolves into chunky pixel art as it crosses the final panel border. Make the transformation continuous through a single dynamic pose. Bent panel frames, torn paper edges, scattered pencil marks, and square pixel fragments react to the character’s movement. Use exaggerated foreshortening, heavy black shadows, halftone textures, and large areas of warm white paper. Avoid separate portraits or repeated figures. Vertical 3:4, no titles, lettering, speech bubbles, or logos.
Build an exuberant textile-art volcano entirely from sewing materials. Layered burgundy velvet forms the mountain, with visible seams running along its ridges. Long coral satin ribbons erupt from the crater in broad curling arcs, accompanied by pearl beads, loose threads, and tiny pom-poms. Lavender felt clouds hang above a landscape of quilted hills and embroidered rivers. A miniature winding staircase stitched from cream thread gives the volcano a monumental scale. Compose the eruption as a generous fan shape filling the upper half of the image. Show tactile pile, frayed ribbon edges, uneven stitches, and handmade imperfections. A carefully crafted stop-motion set aesthetic. Vertical 3:4, no titles, text, or logos.
Create a 3:4 vertical fantasy cosmic night illustration. A massive dark ringed planet hangs low over a still lake, its wide ring arcing from the left horizon to the upper right. The planet faces forward with a faint golden-orange rim glow, its dark surface marked by thin glowing blue, purple, and amber lines. Place a smaller ringed body in the upper left and another small celestial body cropped at the top. Use a black starry sky with sparse stars and colorful flares. Mirror the planet’s colored streaks in the lake, with vertical reflections from yellow horizon light pillars. Tall tree silhouettes gather on the right bank, with scattered small trees on the distant left. Fill the foreground with dense grass stalks dotted by tiny glowing blue, cyan, red, gold, and white lights like luminous flowers. Center the lake and horizon, place the giant planet above, and let thick grass fill the bottom. Digital fantasy art with fine glowing lines, crisp silhouettes, high contrast, subtle halos, a black base palette, electric blue, warm gold, and multicolored highlights. Rich layered planetary night scene, full bleed, no borders, titles, lettering, or logos.
Create a handmade torn-paper portrait of an original adult woman with short curly hair and a steady direct gaze. Build the entire face from irregular pieces of painted paper, fictional magazine fragments, and colored print scraps. The paper pieces themselves must describe the facial planes; do not place a collage texture over a finished photograph. Use small, precisely shaped fragments around the brown eyes and lips, broader warm ivory and terracotta pieces across the cheeks, and large indigo scraps for the hair and shadow side. Include occasional mustard-yellow accents and abstract cropped letterform fragments as texture, without readable words. Show exposed white paper fibers, overlapping edges, slight curling, and delicate physical shadows. Frame the head tightly, slightly off-center, with the hair extending beyond the upper edge. Rich analog collage, clear anatomy, compelling eye contact. Vertical 3:4, no titles, readable text, recognizable publication names, or logos.
Create a poetic, grain-rich film portrait of an adult woman in a loose cream shirt standing on an open rooftop at dusk. She remains still, looking slightly past the camera with a thoughtful expression. Very close to the lens, translucent laundry in brick red, pale blue, and apricot yellow blows across the frame, producing broad soft motion trails that partially obscure her shoulders and lower face while leaving her eyes visible. The moving fabric should retain hints of folds and woven texture at its edges, rather than appearing as digital light effects. Place a low dark skyline beneath a muted teal evening sky. Use slow-shutter movement with a relatively sharp central subject, warm subdued skin tones, visible analog grain, soft contrast, and slight color bleeding. Intimate experimental fashion photography. Vertical 3:4, no titles, text, or logos.
Create a 3:4 vertical photorealistic social media feed screenshot with two banner photos of the same young fair-skinned Caucasian woman with loose long blonde hair, a white sleeveless top, and a black-and-white polka-dot headscarf. In the upper photo, show her from the torso up, holding a black phone horizontally and smiling down at the screen; include a thin bracelet, a small arm tattoo, and a dark bag strap. In the lower photo, show her seated on a huge dark olive-black tote bag with the large two-line white text “SAIGON SWAGGER”, wearing white pants and bright orange sneakers. Both scenes have wood-framed windows, a warm shop interior, and amber-lit shelves; add green plants and a light sign on the left side of the lower photo. Overlay a dark navy social UI with an avatar, username “mila.rose”, “Original audio”, a Follow button, interaction icons, stats “12.8K / 86 / 24 / 12”, and the caption “mila.rose Little me, big mood.”. Use warm indoor light against the cool dark UI, natural textures, soft shadows, and a refined influencer outfit and tote-bag post. Keep the original photo cropping and aspect ratio without stretching. Include carousel dots and a partially cut bottom bar. No extra titles, logos, captions, or interface text beyond the specified social UI.
Create an Instagram-style summer editorial photograph in a vertical 3:4 composition of an adult kitesurfer carving a sharp turn across crystal-clear turquoise water. Capture the action from a close, low water-level angle, with the board entering the foreground and a broad arc of sparkling spray framing the athlete. Style the rider in a coral-orange rash guard and sand-colored board shorts, with natural sunlit skin. Taut kite lines extend toward a partially cropped coral kite against a clear pale-blue sky. Use bright coastal sunlight, translucent aqua waves, soft warm highlights, subtle 35mm film grain, gently faded shadows, and a spontaneous slightly off-center composition like an exceptional candid from a coastal adventure journal. Preserve realistic anatomy, authentic sports equipment, crisp droplets near the lens, and slight motion blur in the trailing spray. Fresh, effortless aspirational travel photography. No text or logos.
