00:00Here's a picture of me
00:00Now, here I am in front of my own private jet sailing down a chocolate river as a jungle explorer, as a police officer, and even standing in front of my own cookie store
00:12Pretty wild, right? Hi everyone, Kevin here
00:15In this video, I'll show you step by step how to use Google's nano banana AI to create your own images
00:20And the best part, it only takes a few minutes and it's completely free to try
00:29Let's dive in
00:29So, what exactly is Nano Banana? It's Google's brand new AI image tool built right into Gemini
00:35Think of it as an upgraded image generator that goes way beyond making pictures from text
00:42With Nano Banana, you could edit your own photos, blend different art styles, and even create those funny 3D figurine images you've probably seen going viral
00:52The really cool part is how it handles consistency
00:55So, if you generate multiple edits of yourself, your face actually looks like you across all those images
01:01And because it's built into Google Gemini, you don't need any special software to get started
01:06Just a photo, a prompt, and a few minutes
01:11That's it
01:11To get started, head to the following website
01:13You'll find a link right here at the bottom of the screen
01:18You can also download and install the Google Gemini app directly on your phone, both iPhone and also Android
01:24You'll need to sign in with your Google account
01:26On this page, you'll see the main prompt box
01:28Click on tools and from the menu, select create images
01:31That's the option with a little banana icon right next to it
01:35Let's now look at some of the different ways you can use it
01:39Starting with a really simple example
01:39I want to turn plain text into an image
01:44So, right up above in this text field, I will type in make an image of a cookie store on a city street
01:49Then, in the bottom right corner, let's click on submit
01:53And here we go
01:53Nano Banana generates a full storefront from just that short description
01:58Now, getting back a beautiful image is great, but we've seen this before with other tools
02:04What makes this new model impressive is that you can keep editing and refining until it's exactly what you want
02:09For example, if you look up above, the sign says sweet bites
02:13But I would actually prefer for it to say the Kevin Cookie Company
02:17So, right down below here, I'll type in my prompt, name the cookie store Kevin Cookie Company
02:21And then let's try it again
02:23Look at that
02:23It keeps the same image, but it swaps out the name for Kevin Cookie Company
02:28That is super cool
02:30Now, let's try another change
02:30I don't like how this photo is a little bit overcast
02:35I'd rather have it be just a little bit brighter and maybe a nice sunny day
02:38Down below in the prompt field here, I'll type in make it brighter and sunnier
02:42And then let's try that
02:43Nice
02:43The scene is brighter
02:43And look at that
02:46We have some sunshine
02:46It even included realistic shadows
02:48All while keeping the storefront consistent
02:53And here we even have that name on the sign
02:54That's the real power here
02:54It's not just generating images, it's iterating on images
02:59Now, let's try using a photo instead of just text
03:01To do that, I can click on this little plus icon
03:06And here you can choose to upload your photo, or you could simply drag and drop it in
03:11Or you could even paste a photo directly in
03:13For this example, I'm going to upload a photo of myself
03:16And then right down here, I'll type in my prompt
03:19Turn me into a 17th scale collectible figurine on a desk with toy packaging beside me
03:24This has been a very popular and also viral prompt
03:27Once you type that in, let's submit
03:32And here it is
03:32I am now officially an action figure
03:35And honestly, it's really good
03:37If I scroll up a little bit here, you can see my picture
03:39And then here you can see the face on the action figure
03:42That's really consistent
03:42And that's what Nano Banana is known for
03:47The face looks just like me
03:47So, there you go
03:49Buy your Kevin action figure today
03:51Link not in the description
03:51Now, let's look at one of the coolest features of Nano Banana using multiple photos together
03:58Back within Nano Banana, I'm going to upload two images
04:03So, here I'll upload a photo of myself and then also this jacket
04:06You know, I've been kind of curious what I would look like wearing this jacket
04:09So, down below I'll type in my prompt
04:11Blend these two images
04:13It's put me into the jacket so it looks like I'm actually wearing it
04:16Match the colors, shadows, and textures so it looks realistic
04:18And then let's try it out
04:21And just like that, we've elevated the style of this channel
04:25That's pretty slick
04:25But we don't have to stop there
04:27We could even refine it even more
04:29So let's type something else in
04:31Make me sit in an executive office
04:33And let's try that
04:35And there
04:35I now also have a new studio
04:38Not only does it keep me in the jacket, but it places me in a totally different setting
04:42This shows how powerful Nana Banana is
04:44You can combine photos, change outfits, and even swap out entire environments while keeping everything consistent
04:51If for whatever reason you're unhappy with the photo that was generated, right down below, you could simply redo it and try generating another image
04:58And if you're happy with it and you want to download a copy, simply hover over the photo and in the top right hand corner, you could download the full-size photo
05:05Here are some other fun examples you can try
05:10Reimagine myself into a '9s sitcom
05:10Turn me into an 80s profile photo
05:14Make my hair a bit longer, wavy, and bleached
05:19Edit the photo so I appear in the Wild West
05:21Reimagine me as a comic book character
05:24Create a photorealistic image of this logo on a box of cookies in a living room in front of the fireplace
05:32Remove all the people from this photo
05:36Make the photo brighter and the day sunnier
05:38restore this old photo
05:38Okay, so we've created many images with Nano Banana
05:44But what if we want to go beyond a still picture and turn it into a video? That's where VO3, Google's new AI video model, comes in
05:52This option is paid
05:54Here's how it works
05:54Right down here, click on tools and then create videos with VO
05:58Then right up on top, I can add an image as the starting frame
06:03I'll click on add photo
06:03And there's that image that I created using Nano Banana of me in the jacket sitting in the office
06:09I'll select that one
06:09Now, I just want to bring this image to life via video
06:14So, here I'll type in my prompt to animate this photo into a realistic video
06:18Feel free to read through this prompt if you'd like
06:20Down below, I'll click on submit
06:21Let's see how it brings it to life
06:23Right up above
06:24Let's play it
06:27[Music] That's such a cool way to connect tools
06:36You could use Nano Banana to design or edit your visual
06:37Then you pass it into VO3 to animate it
06:39And there you go
06:42Your Instagram is about to get a major upgrade
06:45Before we wrap up, I want to share some quick tips from the Nano Banana team
06:49Feel free to check these out
06:51If you keep these in mind, your prompts will go from good to amazing
06:57Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next
