Nano-banana effectively **solves this problem**:

- Character features remain consistent throughout editing sessions - Brand elements maintain their integrity across multiple generations - Design proportions stay balanced even with significant modifications

Advanced Capabilities Beyond Basic Image Generation

- **Multi-asset integration** → Combine multiple visual elements into cohesive, production-ready compositions - **Style transfer and adaptation** → Apply artistic styles, textures, or visual languages across different assets - **Conversational creative workflow** → Edit and refine through natural dialogue rather than technical parameters - **Production-grade output quality** → Generate assets ready for games, marketing campaigns, and media projects - **Visual enhancement and restoration** → Improve existing assets with intelligent upscaling and refinement

28 Practical Use Cases for Nano-Banana

Based on industry research and professional feedback, here are the 28 practical use cases of Nano-banana's impact across creative industries, all created via [Scenario's edit-with-prompts interface](https://app.scenario.com/edit-with-prompts) and fully reproducible:

1. Character Pose and Action Modification

Modify character body language and positioning while intelligently removing or adding objects to create entirely different emotional contexts and narrative meanings. This technique preserves character identity, facial features, and artistic style while allowing complete repositioning of limbs, torso orientation, and hand gestures.

**Use Case:** A warrior character's aggressive stance is transformed into a confident, arms-crossed posture.

**Prompt:** "Remove the weapon and pose her with her arms crossed over her chest"

Stylized cartoon warrior character with crossed arms in confident pose, smiling at camera against blue checkered background.

2. Character Proportion Enhancement

Alter character anatomy and body proportions to fit different archetypes, from realistic human proportions to stylized heroic builds or cartoon exaggerations. The AI maintains facial features, clothing details, and overall character design while scaling specific body parts to achieve the desired silhouette and visual impact.

**Use Case:** A character is given a more heroic build with broader shoulders, larger hands and feet, and increased height.

**Prompt:** "Make her more heroic (broader shoulders, slightly larger hands and feet, increased height relative to head size)"
