Google has showcased 10 creative ways for users to reimagine their photos using Gemini’s AI image generation tool, Nano Banana. One standout feature allows users to virtually meet their childhood selves. This has sparked a wholesome Instagram trend, now dubbed ‘Hug My Younger Self’, where users generate images of their present selves embracing their childhood versions. The trend has gone viral, striking a nostalgic chord and delivering heartwarming moments across social media.

The internet is abuzz following the launch of Gemini’s Nano Banana, also known as the Flash 2.5 model. From retro-style saree portraits to turning people into 3D figures, the tool’s creative capabilities have been widely praised.

Prompt:

“Take a photo taken with a Polaroid camera. The photo should look like an ordinary photograph, without an explicit subject or property. The photo should have a slight blur and a consistent light source, like a flash from a dark room, scattered throughout the photo. Don’t change the face. Change the background behind those two people with white curtains. Make it look like both the people in the reference picture are hugging each other,” shared an Instagram user by the handle of shreyya_official.

Alternative prompt

“Using my present photo and my childhood photo, create a realistic and heartwarming image where my current self is hugging my younger self. Make sure both faces and features are preserved accurately so the resemblance is clear. The mood should express self-love, nostalgia, and warmth, with natural lighting and a soft, emotional atmosphere—capturing the bond between who I was and who I am now.”

FAQs

What does Gemini AI do?

Image Generation: Gemini can produce high-resolution images based on prompts, like vintage portraits, cinematic effects, or 3D-style figures.

Visual Styles: It can emulate specific art styles, lighting, eras (like 1940s noir or 1970s Polaroid vibes), and textures.

Google previously allowed free-tier users to create up to 100 images per day with its Gemini image generation tool, while Pro and Ultra subscribers were given a much higher limit of 1,000 images daily. These figures were published on a support page published last week.

Since then, however, Google appears to have updated its policy. The company no longer provides clear details on how many images can be generated under Free, Pro, or Ultra plans. Instead, the support page now carries a disclaimer: “Gemini Apps limits may change. If capacity changes, limits for users without a Pro or Ultra plan may be restricted before paid users.”
