How to choose the right use case

Start with intent. Ask one question: what should the image do?

Educate: explain a concept or feature
Convert: drive clicks or signups
Support: clarify product details or reduce confusion
Brand: build a consistent visual system

Once you know the intent, the prompt structure and output format become much clearer.

Use case 1: landing page hero images

Goal: create a clear, branded first impression.

Prompt tip: include copy safe space and a clean background so design teams can add headlines later.

Common deliverables: 1 hero image in 16:9 or wide format, 2 variations for A/B testing.

Goal: produce multiple ad formats quickly without losing consistency.

Prompt tip: keep the subject and style identical and change only one variable (background or prop).

Common deliverables: 1:1, 4:5, 9:16 formats with consistent lighting and palette.

Use case 3: ecommerce product photography

Goal: generate accurate product images that build trust.

Prompt tip: lock the product truth (shape, material, color) and keep backgrounds simple.

Common deliverables: hero shot, detail shot, and a lifestyle shot for context.

Use case 4: blog and content marketing headers

Goal: create visuals that support long form content without distracting from the message.

Prompt tip: use a clean, minimal style with clear subject focus. Avoid busy backgrounds.

Common deliverables: horizontal header image, square social preview, optional thumbnail.

Use case 5: email campaign visuals

Goal: provide a light, fast loading image that reinforces the message.

Prompt tip: keep composition simple and avoid heavy detail that gets lost at small sizes.

Common deliverables: 600 to 800 px wide image, clean background, copy safe space.

Use case 6: product UI and app visuals

Goal: create supportive visuals for onboarding, empty states, or feature explanations.

Prompt tip: match the product UI style and keep colors aligned with the brand palette.

Common deliverables: small illustrations or soft background visuals that do not compete with UI text.

Use case 7: agency and client delivery packages

Goal: deliver a complete set of assets that clients can reuse.

Prompt tip: include prompts and variation notes in the delivery, not just images.

Common deliverables: final images in multiple formats plus a prompt sheet.

Use case 8: brand consistency systems

Goal: maintain a stable visual language across campaigns.

Prompt tip: create a style lock and a base prompt. Do not change it across the series.

Common deliverables: a brand kit, reference images, and a prompt library.

Use case 9: background swaps and fast edits

Goal: update images without reshooting or regenerating from scratch.

Prompt tip: use edit prompts that say "keep the subject exactly the same" and specify one change.

Common deliverables: clean background variants, seasonal updates, or colorway changes.

Goal: create a cohesive series that looks like one campaign.

Prompt tip: lock the style and lighting. Change only the message or scene context.

Common deliverables: 5 to 10 square or vertical images with consistent tone.

Use case 11: seasonal refreshes

Goal: update assets for a season or campaign without rebuilding everything.

Prompt tip: keep the subject identical and change only the seasonal background or prop.

Common deliverables: one seasonal hero image plus a small set of social variations.

Use case 12: marketplace listing visuals

Goal: meet marketplace image rules while keeping the product accurate.

Prompt tip: keep backgrounds clean and avoid text overlays or exaggerated claims.

Common deliverables: a clean hero image and one detail close up.

Use case 13: internal presentations and decks

Goal: create visuals that clarify ideas for stakeholders or investors.

Prompt tip: keep visuals simple, neutral, and aligned with the brand palette.

Common deliverables: 2 to 3 wide images that support key slides.

When not to use this workflow

There are cases where a nanobannana workflow is not the right answer:

When you need highly specific legal or medical imagery
When a real photo is required for compliance
When the product is extremely complex and must be photographed

Use real photography or specialized tools in those cases.

A simple use case selection matrix

Use this quick filter:

Need speed and consistency? Use a base prompt and variation workflow.
Need high accuracy? Use reference images and product truth notes.
Need many formats? Start with one hero image and adapt aspect ratio only.
Need team alignment? Use a shared prompt library and approval loop.

This matrix prevents overthinking and helps you pick the right path fast.

FAQ

Q1: Which use case is best for new users?
A: Start with a product hero or a simple ad variant set. Both are easy to control.

Q3: How do I keep a series consistent?
A: Lock style and lighting lines, change one variable at a time, and use reference images.

Q4: Where can I find templates for these use cases?
A: /nano-banana-prompts has reusable templates for most of these workflows.
