Step-by-Step Guide: How to Create Your Own Banana AI Saree Edit

Joining the trend is straightforward and doesn't require advanced skills—just access to Google's Gemini AI platform. Importantly, the Gemini Nano Banana tool is available for free through Google AI Studio and the Gemini app, though users may encounter daily generation limits during peak times to manage server load. No subscription or payment is needed for basic usage, making it accessible to everyone with a Google account. Here's how to get started:

1.Sign In: Head to gemini.google.com or open the Gemini app and log in with your Google account. Alternatively, you can use ChatGPT for prompt assistance, but the core editing happens via Gemini.

2.Access the Tool: In Gemini, navigate to the 'Try Image Editing' section (often found in the left panel) and select the Banana icon to activate the Nano Banana feature.

3.Upload Your Photo: Choose a clear, solo selfie where your face is fully visible and well-lit. Avoid group shots or obscured images for the best results.

4.Enter a Prompt: Copy and paste a viral prompt to guide the AI. For example:

- "Convert this person into a retro vintage grainy but bright image, black party-wear saree, 90s film aesthetic… lighting is warm, with golden sunset tones evoking golden hour glow…"

- Or try variations like "Translucent white polka-dot saree in wind, dramatic shadows, moody expression, 90s Bollywood poster style with floral accents."

5. Generate and Download: Hit send or generate, and wait a few seconds for the AI to process. Once ready, download your transformed portrait and share it on Instagram to join the trend.

If the initial result isn't perfect, experiment with personalised prompts to refine the output. Remember, while free, heavy usage might hit daily limits—consider trying during off-peak hours for smoother access.
