A new trend is circulating across major social media platforms involving Google’s Gemini 2.5 Flash Image model, also referred to as “Nano Banana.” The tool allows users to generate miniature 3D-style figurines from uploaded photographs using descriptive prompts. Its combination of speed, ease of access, and consistent image quality has led to widespread sharing on TikTok, Instagram, and X.
The Nano Banana Figurine operations
Gemini 2.5 Flash Image is used to make miniature, plasticised figurines out of uploaded images in less than one minute. The finished product consists of a figurine on a transparent stand with a box containing the product and a wire-frame model. Users and reviewers have said that this version demonstrates greater prompt fidelity, more precise posing and better package design than GPT-4o and Midjourney.
The figurines also have a collectable-like quality as faces are also said to render better and more precisely. Guides show that the feature is accessible in Google AI Studio, as well as in apps and the site of Gemini site. Designers reported that performance was better with a full-body photograph and a descriptive prompt, which is frequently a template that is circulated on the Internet. They observed that this process has rendered the generation of professional imagery by anyone without the need for technical expertise.
Why the Nano Banana Trend Took Off
One of the reasons Nano Banana was popular was the ability to access the product. The device is not very expensive, involves a minor amount of effort, and the resultant images of merchandise appear to be authentic. The feature of combining image uploads with descriptive prompts, analysts said, allowed users to have creative control, leading to unique figurines that look like collectable photoshoots.
Producers stressed that the details of the figurines, such as facial expression and clothing textures, and modelling packages, were extremely shareable. It was also reported that a wider use across platforms was being driven by access to results formerly restricted to more advanced image tools, which were open to casual users.
Who Is Taking Part in the Nano Banana Trend
Influencers and hobbyists were not the only ones who participated in it, as seen in the coverage. Reports pointed out that the Chief Minister of Assam was not left behind as he posted his own Nano Banana figurine. This kind of participation by people in the limelight, analysts said, enhanced publicity and helped to get more people to contribute.
The creations that were displayed in the social media feeds had a broad scope, such as pets, celebrities, and even fictional characters. There were such popular examples as samurai dogs, cartoon-based figurines and funny miniatures of real people who were using them. Analysts noted that such flexibility increased the attractiveness of the trend and guaranteed further interest.
