The Nano Banana AI trend is all over social media, and millions of people are turning their selfies into 3D figurines using the trend, which is done by Nano Banana, an AI tool released in August 2025. It runs on Gemini’s 2.5 Flash Image model, which makes images quickly and looks very real.
Nano Banana AI Trend – What is It?
The idea is fun and simple. “From photo to figurine style in just one prompt. People are having fun turning their photos into images of custom miniature figures, thanks to nano-banana in Gemini. Try a pic of yourself, a cool nature shot, a family photo, or a shot of your pup,” Gemini wrote in a post on X.
It began with toy-style avatars. These images looked like mini figurines with acrylic stands and collector’s box packaging. Soon, people started trying new styles, pushing the limits of the Nano Banana model.
