Up to 14 references
Characters and objects combined — lock a face, a product and a location in one generation.
Tool · Character reference generation
Not a paste-and-blend filter: upload up to 14 reference photos and generate the same person in any scene, outfit or art style — studio portraits, travel shots, full illustrations. From $0.03 per image, paid with crypto, no subscription.

Classic face-swap apps cut a face from one photo and blend it onto another — which is why the light never quite matches and the edges smear on the first sharp turn. BananaBanana does it differently: the face travels as a reference, not as pixels. You attach one or more portraits of the person, describe the scene you want in plain language, and the model — Nano Banana 2 or Nano Banana Pro — generates the entire image from scratch with that face woven in. Lighting, skin tone, perspective and style all belong to the new scene, so the result reads as a photograph of the person, not a collage. Up to 14 references per generation let you lock several characters and even products at once, and multi-turn editing lets you change the outfit or background afterwards while the face stays put.
The biggest use case is AI influencer and brand-persona content: one character sheet, then an endless feed of consistent posts — beach today, café tomorrow, product-in-hand on Friday. E-commerce teams put the same model into every product shot without booking a studio twice. Creators render themselves into art styles — oil painting, cyberpunk, film noir — for avatars and covers. Agencies keep a client's spokesperson consistent across a whole campaign, mixing face references with product references in a single prompt. And because a still is only the first frame, you can hand the render to image-to-video and get the same person moving in a Veo 3.1 clip. Each image costs from $0.03, so a hundred-post content calendar is a few dollars, not a retainer.
Characters and objects combined — lock a face, a product and a location in one generation.
Photorealism, oil painting, anime, product sets — the face survives the style transfer.
Change the outfit, background or pose in a follow-up prompt; the face stays consistent.
Nano Banana Pro renders references at up to 4096 px for print and close-up crops.
Use a rendered still as the first frame in Veo 3.1 image-to-video to animate your character.
Up to 8 variants per prompt — pick the best likeness instead of re-rolling one by one.
1–14 photos of the person (and optionally products). Clear, well-lit portraits from a few angles work best.
Write the shot like a photo brief: setting, outfit, light, mood. The model builds the scene around the face.
Up to 8 variants per run. Edit conversationally — “same person, now in a winter coat” — until it's right.

Reference photos add nothing to the price — you pay the standard per-image rate. No subscription, balance never expires.
The character sheet method, multi-character scenes and carrying a face into video.

Read the guideUpload a portrait as a character reference, describe the scene you want, and the model generates the person in that new context while preserving facial features. It is generation with references rather than a paste-and-blend filter, so lighting, angle and style stay coherent with the scene.
The same as any image generation: from $0.03 per image with Nano Banana 2 and from $0.11 with Nano Banana Pro (up to 4K). There is no subscription and no per-feature surcharge — face references are part of the standard generator.
Up to 14 reference images per generation, mixing characters and objects. More angles of the same face improve likeness; adding product references lets you keep both a person and an item consistent across a campaign.
Yes — generate a still with your character reference first, then animate it with image-to-video on Veo 3.1. The video model preserves the person from the first frame, so the same face moves through the clip.
Renders carry no visible watermark. Google's invisible SynthID watermark is embedded for AI-transparency compliance, and the optional SMO post-processing reduces automatic AI-content labels on social platforms without visible quality change.
Use it only with faces you have the right to use — yourself, models who consented, or synthetic characters. Creating deceptive or intimate imagery of real people without consent violates our terms and, in many jurisdictions including the US, the law.
