Turn the animal in image 1 into a soft, fluffy plush toy. Keep its markings, ear shape, eye colour and collar exactly where they are in image 1, simplified into cute rounded plush proportions with a slightly oversized head. Material: short soft minky fabric covered in fine fuzz, visible seams, and a tiny embroidered nose and eyes. The plush sits on a neatly made bed next to a folded knit blanket. Soft daylight, gentle shadows, shallow depth of field, photorealistic product photo.

Keep its markings, ear shape, eye colour and collar exactly where they are in image 1 is the line that keeps your photo recognisable. Leave it in, whatever else you change.

This is a fill-in template: swap the parts in braces, like {where}, in the boxes above and keep the rest word for word.
A real pet transforms into a handcrafted stuffed animal while keeping its distinct fur patterns and collar. Nano Banana 2.1 reads image 1 for key visual identifiers and translates biological features into realistic sewing materials like minky cloth and thread stitches.
This edit relies on a clear, well-lit photo of your pet with easily recognizable coat patterns and accessories.
Works: Clear eye-level pet portraits
Close-up or medium shots where the face, ears, and chest markings are fully visible give the model enough detail to embroider accurately.
Works: High-contrast fur patterns
Pets with distinct spots, tuxedo patterns, or stripes translate cleanly into distinct fabric panels.
Avoid: Dark pets in dim lighting
If the pet's face blends into a dark background, the model will struggle to place the facial features and seams properly.
Avoid: Heavy motion blur or occluded faces
Blurry fur or covered ears cause the generator to guess the anatomy, often leading to generic toy shapes that look nothing like your pet.

Model and settings
Keep the aspect ratio at 3:4 for an upright portrait layout that frames the seated plush and bed background comfortably. Use 1k resolution for fast drafting, then consider raising resolution if you want ultra-sharp stitching details. Make sure you provide exactly one clear pet picture as image 1 so the model accurately transfers markings, eyes, and collar details.

Questions about this edit prompt
Can I use this edit prompt for pets other than dogs and cats?
Yes, it works well on rabbits, birds, and guinea pigs. Just make sure the original photo clearly shows their distinct features, such as feather crests or long ears, so the prompt can convert them into fabric shapes.
How do I make the toy look like smooth velvet instead of fluffy fabric?
Replace short soft minky fabric covered in fine fuzz with smooth matte velvet fabric with subtle sheen. The model will remove the outer fuzz and produce a cleaner, sheen-covered plush texture.
Why did the background change from my original room photo?
The prompt explicitly specifies a neatly made bed and folded knit blanket. If you prefer to keep your original room, remove the bed description and add keep the exact background from image 1 instead.
