What Is the Nano Banana Trend?
- Origin: It’s a playful nickname for Google Gemini’s AI image-editing feature, officially part of the Gemini 2.5 Flash and Pro models.
- Function: Users upload a selfie or photo and get a hyper-stylized, figurine-like portrait—think collectible toy box meets cinematic glam.
- Visual Style: Glossy, dramatic, often with acrylic bases, retro textures, or festive backdrops like Durga Puja pandals.
Why Gen Z Is Obsessed
- Instant Virality: It turns everyday selfies into share-worthy, surreal edits—perfect for Instagram, reels, and profile pics.
- Creative Prompts: Gen Z uses wild prompts like:
- “Make me a 90s Bollywood heroine in a red saree.”
- “Put me inside Van Gogh’s Starry Night.”
- “Fake a selfie with my celeb crush under the Eiffel Tower”.
- Cultural Remix: From Navratri Garba looks to retro sarees, it’s a fusion of tradition and tech.
- No Skills Needed: Just upload, type a prompt, and boom—your digital avatar is born.
