How do you use these prompts in Gemini?
- Open the Gemini app or gemini.google.com and start a new chat.
- Upload your photo with the + or image button.
- Paste the prompt, replace every [BLANK] with your choices, and send.
- If a detail is off, reply with one specific fix, for example “keep my face exactly the same, only change the background”.
In ChatGPT it works the same way: attach your photo with the + button, paste the prompt, fill in the blanks and send.
Tips for better results
- Use a full-body or half-body photo if you want the figure’s outfit and pose to match yours; a face-only photo makes the AI invent the body.
- Keep the line that the figure’s face must look exactly like you, and mention glasses, a beard or a hairstyle you want kept.
- Ask for a generic box or packaging. Prompts that name real toy brands or characters are often refused, and the results can’t be used commercially.
- If the computer screen in the background looks wrong, ask Gemini to “show the 3D modelling view of the same figure on the screen”.
Use AI photo prompts safely
- Only edit photos of yourself, or of people who have agreed. For children, only if you are their parent or guardian.
- Don’t create images that could mislead, embarrass or impersonate someone, or that show a real person doing something they didn’t do.
- Keep edits of children ordinary and age-appropriate, and for family use.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Nano Banana prompt?
“Nano Banana” is the popular nickname for Google’s Gemini image model. The best-known Nano Banana prompt turns your photo into a realistic 1/7 scale collectible figure on a desk, with a display box and a computer screen showing the 3D model. The first prompt on this page recreates it.
How do I make a 3D model of myself in Gemini?
Open Gemini, upload a clear photo, paste one of the prompts on this page and fill in the blanks. The figure is an image, not a 3D file you can print.
Can I 3D print the figure?
Not directly. These prompts create a picture of a figure. To print one you would need a 3D model file made with 3D software or a separate image-to-3D service.
Does this work in ChatGPT?
Yes. ChatGPT can create the same figurine images from an uploaded photo using these prompts.
