  1. Change the material in make every surface puffy and rounded like a pool float, with soft vinyl seams, a small air valve and gentle wrinkles where the material folds and the rest of the scene follows it.

Photo edit prompt guide

Which photos work for this edit

A giant inflatable mug, sitting on a turquoise pool beside a striped lounger, is what this image prompt makes with Nano Banana 2.1. It works because it edits the object in the input picture rather than inventing a new one, then changes only its surface into puffy vinyl while keeping its shape and colours recognisable. The bright summer light and crisp shadows make the result read as a playful, photorealistic shot.

The edit expects one clear photo of a single mug, so the model can copy its shape and colours into the inflatable version.

Works: a mug photographed alone on a plain background
The object is easy to separate from its surroundings, so the model can rebuild its shape and colours as an inflatable.
Works: a clear side or three-quarter view
The handle, rim and base stay visible, so the inflated version keeps the details the prompt asks to be recognisable.
Avoid: a mug held in a hand or partly hidden
Fingers or cropped edges can merge into the inflatable surface, and the model may invent a handle or body that is not there.
Avoid: a busy photo with several mugs
The model may pick the wrong object or blend two mugs into one, so the 'object in image 1' instruction stops being clear.

What each instruction does

  1. Task and objectRecreate the object in image 1 as a giant inflatable toy.

    Tells the model to edit the mug in the input picture rather than invent a new object. Without it, the model may draw a generic inflatable and lose the original mug's identity.

  2. Shape and surfaceKeep its overall shape, colours and details recognisable, but make every surface puffy and rounded like a pool float

    Keeps the mug's shape, colours and details so the result still reads as the same product. Without the 'make every surface puffy' clause, the mug stays hard and rigid, so it will not look like an inflatable.

  3. Vinyl detailswith soft vinyl seams, a small air valve and gentle wrinkles where the material folds.

    Adds the vinyl and air valve details that make the toy read as a pool float, not just a soft object. Dropping them gives a generic puffy look, and the seams and valve are what sell the inflatable idea.

  4. Scene placementThe inflatable mug bobs on a turquoise swimming pool next to a striped lounger.

    Puts the toy in a water setting, so the mug reads as a floating pool toy. Swapping the pool or lounger for another spot changes the scene, while removing them leaves a plain background with no clue that the mug floats.

  5. Light and styleBright summer light, crisp shadows, playful photorealistic shot.

    Sets the lighting and look: bright summer sun, hard-edged shadows and a photographic finish. Changing to overcast or soft light removes the crisp shadows that make the toy look solid, and dropping 'photorealistic' can push the render toward a cartoon.

Other edits in the same pattern

Inflatable Garden Teapot

Swaps the mug for a teapot, the pool for a lawn and the summer light for soft morning light, for a calm garden scene.

Prompt

Recreate the object in image 1 as a giant inflatable toy. Keep its overall shape, colours and details recognisable, but make every surface puffy and rounded like a pool float, with soft vinyl seams, a small air valve and gentle wrinkles where the material folds. The inflatable teapot sits on a green lawn beside a wooden garden bench. Soft morning light, gentle shadows, cheerful photorealistic shot.

Inflatable Winter Snow Day

Keeps the same mug and edit, but moves it from a summer pool to packed snow with cold winter daylight.

Prompt

Recreate the object in image 1 as a giant inflatable toy. Keep its overall shape, colours and details recognisable, but make every surface puffy and rounded like a pool float, with soft vinyl seams, a small air valve and gentle wrinkles where the material folds. The inflatable mug sits on packed snow beside a wooden sled. Cold winter daylight, long soft shadows, cosy photorealistic shot.

Inflatable Pastel Studio

Moves the scene into a pastel studio with soft light, for a calmer product-style shot.

Prompt

Recreate the object in image 1 as a giant inflatable toy. Keep its overall shape, colours and details recognisable, but make every surface puffy and rounded like a pool float, with soft vinyl seams, a small air valve and gentle wrinkles where the material folds. The inflatable mug sits on a pale pink studio floor beside a small wooden stool. Soft studio light, clean shadows, bright product photorealistic shot.

Model and settings

Keep the 4:5 ratio and 1k resolution from the example, since this portrait frame suits a mug on a pool beside a lounger. Keep the mode on image edit with one input picture, because the prompt refers to 'image 1'. For a wider banner or a landscape scene, choose a wider ratio so the lounger stays in frame, and raise the resolution only if you need a sharp print.

  • Seedream 5.0 ProPick this when you want to add more reference pictures, such as a photo of the real striped lounger, so the model can copy several objects into the pool scene. Its tagline promises high-detail edits from up to ten references.
  • FLUX.2 ProPick this when the turquoise pool must match an exact colour, since its tagline offers hex colour control and this prompt only names the colour in words.

When the edit misses

The mug's shape or handle is redrawn, so it no longer matches image 1.
Keep the phrase 'Keep its overall shape, colours and details recognisable' word for word, and add 'same handle and rim as image 1' after it.
The pool or lounger is ignored and the mug sits on a plain background.
Name the lounger stripes, such as 'red and white stripes on the lounger', so the scene elements are harder to skip.
The mug is repainted as a soft blob with no visible valve or seams.
Keep 'with soft vinyl seams, a small air valve' unchanged, and add 'valve visible on the base' if the valve still disappears.
Light on the toy does not match the sun, so it looks pasted into the pool scene.
Add a light direction, such as 'sunlight from the upper left', after 'Bright summer light, crisp shadows'.

Questions about this edit prompt

Can I use a photo of a different object instead of the mug with this prompt?

Yes, but the prompt names the object in image 1 and then calls it a mug, so change 'mug' in both places to match your photo. Nano Banana 2.1 keeps the shape best when the new object is simple and clearly separated from its background.

Why does the mug look flat or hard instead of puffy in my result?

The puffy look comes from 'make every surface puffy and rounded like a pool float', so that phrase must stay word for word. If the mug still looks rigid, try a close-up input picture where the rim and body curves are clearly visible, which gives the model more shape to inflate.

Does Nano Banana 2.1 keep the turquoise pool and striped lounger colours exactly?

Usually close but not exact, because the prompt names colours in words rather than exact values. If you need a precise turquoise, name it more specifically, such as 'bright turquoise pool water', and for exact colour matching FLUX.2 Pro is the stronger option.
