Frequently asked questions
How copying works →Can I use my own photo?
Yes, with platforms that accept a reference image. A clear, front-facing photo of one person gives the best result.
Are these suitable for ID photos?
No. Official documents have strict photo rules and most authorities reject AI-generated or edited photos. Use these for profiles and social media.
Where do I use Nano Banana prompts?
In the Gemini app or Google AI Studio. Upload a reference photo when the card mentions one, then paste the prompt.
Is it good for keeping my face consistent?
Yes, it is one of its strengths. Use a clear, front-facing photo and say explicitly which features to keep.
