Note: I called the prompts in this article “plug-and-play” because they are ready to use. All you have to do is to “plug in” your text to these prompts, paste them in the prompt box, and generate your images. Easy and Fun!

In this article, I will be re-sharing some ready to use prompts already shared by someone that I consider an expert prompt creator. My readers know that I follow lots of people on Facebook and X that share information about Midjourney and this user does share Midjourney information but she goes far beyond that by providing specific prompts for Nano Banana and GPT Image 2, as well as prompts that can be used by an image generator. (She also shares detailed prompts for some video services but that is beyond the scope of this article.)

The name of this expert AI image prompter on X is Amira Zairi. Her X handle is @azed_ai and her X feed is at **https://x.com/azed_ai/**.

Here is the banner image from her feed page.

The prompts in this article can be used with any image generators and I did test them in a variety of different image services and with different models. I decided for this article to limit the models I would show images from to just two image models. I also did this as a test for myself. I have been reading article by several people about Nano Banana 2 Lite (the technical name is Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image) which Google released on June 30th, 2026.

Most of the article have been praising the speed of the Lite version which is much faster than the original Nano Banana 2, and have been saying the Lite version is also less expensive than its sibling. So for each one of the prompts I will show two versions so that you can judge the quality of each image side by side and I will measure the time each image took to generate.

For each of the ten prompts, I will present the original prompt and then show the two images I created, followed by the actual edited prompt that I used to create the images. The caption underneath the images indicates the aspect ratio used in parentheses and the time in seconds and hundredths of seconds.

I hope that you will enjoy seeing the images and testing the prompts for yourself using any image generator that you wish.

Here are the images and the prompts.

Evaluation: Which image do you like better? Why? What kind of character would you like to explain on a sheet like this?

I encourage you to conduct your own tests of any of the prompts, and to make any kind of modification to the prompts that you want to try. That is how you learn.

I mentioned a few times that choosing which image you liked the best can be a somewhat subjective decision, however, I did time the generation of each image in each set and the times are a more objective measure of the two image models.

I threw the data that I collected into a quick spreadsheet and averaged the times of all ten sets.

Here is the data.

a screen capture from the spreadsheet that I used to collected the time of each image generation

It is easy to see as you look at this data that for every image set the Nano Banana 2 Lite version took less time to generate that it counterpart from Nano Banana 2. The average time for a Nano Banana 2 image was 21.88 seconds, and the average time for a Nano Banana 2 Lite was 13.09 seconds. And that time savings translates into a less expensive generation in terms of GPU time.

That concludes the content for this article.
