We Tried the Nano Banana Thing Everyone's Talking About

We found something fun with AI today.

There's new trend called "Nano Banana" where you can turn any photo into what looks like toy figurine.

What does this do exactly?

You upload photo of yourself (or your dog, family, anything).

Google Gemini AI makes it look like professional collectible toy - you know those figurines people collect with clear plastic base and fancy packaging.

Why people love this:

It's free. Takes few seconds. And results look really cool. ✅

Here's what you do:

Step 1: Go to Google Gemini website or app
Step 2: Upload your photo

Step 3: Use this prompt (it's long but works):

"Create a 1/7 scale commercialized figurine of the characters in the picture, in a realistic style, in a real environment. The figurine is placed on a computer desk. The figurine has a round transparent acrylic base, with no text on the base. The content on the computer screen is a 3D modeling process of this figurine. Next to the computer screen is a toy packaging box, designed in a style reminiscent of high-quality collectible figures, printed with original artwork. The packaging features two-dimensional flat illustrations."

Step 4: Wait few seconds and boom - your photo becomes figurine image

Tips that work:

• Use clear photos (not blurry)

• Better photos = better toy figurines

• It's completely free to try

We tested this with few photos. Pretty amazing what AI can do now. 📚

Think your kids or friends might find this fun?

Maybe try it with your favorite photo and see what happens.
