Gemini's Nano Banana lets you create anime characters, scenes

Technology Oct 11, 2025

Google recently highlighted Nano Banana, a new AI feature in its Gemini app, that lets you transform your photos into anime-style characters and scenes.
Now, anyone can play around with creating unique anime stories, characters, and landscapes—turning regular snapshots into something straight out of your favorite series.

How people are using this new feature

People are already getting creative: one user made a four-panel anime scene from a single prompt, while another combined Nano Banana with Adobe Firefly to turn a ramen photo into a retro recipe illustration.
These early experiments show how Nano Banana could shake up digital art and make Gemini a go-to spot for imaginative visual storytelling.
