What image to image AI changes
This page focuses on the image to image AI workflow: the uploaded image gives structure, subject, pose, layout, or style direction, while the prompt tells NanoBanana Pro what should change.
Text and image control
Combine the uploaded reference with written instructions for style, scene, and output goal.
Variation creation
Create new versions for product concepts, portraits, ads, thumbnails, and creative testing.
Preservation rules
Tell the model what must stay unchanged, such as face identity, product shape, logo, layout, or camera angle.
Image to image prompt pattern
Reference + instructionTransform: turn this product photo into a premium campaign image. Keep: product shape, logo, color, camera angle, and scale. Change: background, lighting mood, props, surface, and composition polish. Avoid: warped text, changed proportions, extra objects, broken edges, or inconsistent shadows.
How to use image to image AI
A simple reference-image workflow for creating controlled variations and transformations.
01
Upload a reference image
Choose the photo, sketch, product shot, portrait, or concept that should guide the result.
02
Describe what changes
Write the style, scene, mood, format, and preservation rules in plain language.
03
Generate and compare
Review the generated image against the reference, then refine your prompt for a tighter result.
Reference images make prompts easier to control
The best image to image prompts separate what the reference controls from what the prompt changes. That keeps the output creative without drifting away from the source.
Style transfer
Restyle a portrait, product, sketch, interior, or concept without losing the important structure.
Scene generation
Move the subject into a new scene, campaign direction, or visual format.
Image enhancement paths
Use image-to-image for cleaner composition, sharper visual direction, and more useful variations.
