Have you tried the ‘Nano Banana’ trend where AI shrinks you into a tiny collectible?

The "Nano Banana" trend is taking social media by storm, and it's all thanks to Google's Gemini AI. This viral sensation lets you transform yourself, your pets, or even your favourite celebrities into hyper-realistic 3D figurines using just a photo and a simple text prompt.

The results are stunning – miniature, lifelike models placed in realistic settings, complete with transparent acrylic bases and detailed packaging mockups that look just like commercial collectibles.

What's fueling the craze is the trend's incredible simplicity and accessibility. No technical skills or payments are needed; anyone can jump in and create these digital marvels.

Even Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma joined the trend, sharing his own figurine online after encouragement from younger followers.

How can you do it?

• Open Google Gemini (or Google AI Studio)
• Upload any photo you'd like to transform
• Copy and paste "Create a 1/7 scale commercialised figurine of the characters in the picture, in a realistic style, in a real environment. The figurine is placed on a computer desk. The figurine has a round transparent acrylic base, with no text on the base. The content on the computer screen is a 3D modelling process of this figurine. Next to the computer screen is a toy packaging box, designed in a style reminiscent of high-quality collectible figures, printed with original artwork. The packaging features two-dimensional flat illustrations."
• Click generate and wait a few seconds for your 3D figurine image to appear

The best part? Google's made it completely free for everyone via the Gemini app.
