Nano Banana 2.1 is Google's image model for consistent characters and products, and it's now in the Leonardo.Ai image generator. Add your people and your product as image references, up to 14 in all, plus one video reference. Then put them in new scenes where they still look like themselves.

Keep your cast consistent

Add a portrait of each person as an image reference and say where they go next. For the two scenes below, five portraits went in. All five people turn up in both, lined up on a showroom sofa and then side by side in a cinema, and everyone keeps their own face, hair and clothes.

Put your product in every shot

Add a photo of your product as an image reference, then place it anywhere you can imagine: in a museum display case, on a street poster or in a scene with your cast. Your product still looks like itself in every shot.

Combine up to 14 image references

Use up to 14 image references in one generation. This one uses all 14: photos of a cinder block, a teapot, a bowling ball, an egg and ten more. Say how they fit together, and you get one image that uses every reference.

Make an image from your video

Add a video as a reference and make a new image that matches it: a thumbnail, a poster or key art for a campaign. You can add one video to each generation.

What you get

  • Up to 14 image references and one video reference in each generation
  • Up to 8 images from one prompt
  • Ten aspect ratios, from 9:16 to 21:9
  • 1K, 2K or 4K output, with the token cost shown before you generate

Start your first scene

Say who's in the shot, where they are and what each reference brings to the scene. Prompt Enhance turns off when you add an image or video reference, so the scene comes from the prompt you write. The Nano Banana prompt guide has examples to borrow.
