Google’s new Nano Banana AI model has gone viral for its ability to generate realistic 3D figurines from simple images. The innovative tool allows users to upload photos of people, pets, or objects and transform them into commercialized figurines in a realistic style and real-life environment—all for free. The trend has gained massive popularity as the figurines look strikingly similar to professional collectibles.
To start, you can access Nano Banana through Gemini on the web or via the Gemini mobile app on Android and iOS. Alternatively, you can use Google AI Studio, which also provides free access to the model.
Once inside, click on Tools and select “Create images.” Upload your photo using the “+” button and then paste the specific Nano Banana figurine prompt provided.
The prompt instructs the AI to generate a 1/7 scale figurine of the characters in the photo, placed on a computer desk with a transparent acrylic base and no text.
It even adds details like a 3D modeling process displayed on the screen and a collectible-style toy packaging box with original artwork and flat illustrations, replicating the professional look of commercial figures.
After entering the prompt, simply click Submit, and the AI will generate a 3D figurine image based on your uploaded photo. The results are often highly realistic, offering not only a fun experience for casual users but also potential applications for creative industries, merchandising, and collectors.
The best part is that Nano Banana AI is completely free and does not require a Gemini subscription. If Gemini fails to produce results, Google AI Studio serves as a reliable alternative.
With its accessibility and creative potential, Nano Banana is quickly becoming one of the most exciting AI image-generation tools for hobbyists, artists, and fans of collectibles.
