What should I prepare before starting?

Start with a description of the subject, composition, and visual style. Nano Banana 2 also accepts reference images for guidance; identify which details matter before generating.

Can I use the output directly as a game sprite?

Check its dimensions, transparency, pixel grid, and palette first. It may need manual cleanup or redrawing, and it does not automatically include animation frames or game-engine setup.

Does generation use credits?

Generation uses credits. Check the selected model’s price and your plan before generating. Regenerating a variation also uses credits; review the first result before making more.

Shape the creative brief

A defined scale

Choose the apparent pixel size and level of detail.

A limited palette

Name the main colors and decide how many shade steps the design needs.

Readable clusters

Use strong shapes and avoid noisy single-pixel detail.

Two prompts to start with

Use these written examples as a starting point. Adapt the subject and references to your project; generated results will vary.

First direction

Pixel-art-inspired icon of a small red mushroom cottage. Limited palette of cream, red, brown, and dark green, crisp square clusters, plain background, no gradients.

Another approach

A cozy night market stall in a pixel-art style. Warm lanterns against deep blue shadows, large readable shapes, limited color palette, straight-on view, no lettering.

Finishing the result

Generated pixel-style images may not follow a true pixel grid. Clean up pixels and export exact sprite dimensions in a pixel editor before game use.
