Make free AI images with Google's Nano Banana in the Gemini app. Learn to access it, write clear prompts, edit and refine, and create social posts, slides, and study aids without any design skills.
This free micro course shows you how to create AI images with Google's Nano Banana, the image generation and editing built right into the Gemini app. In about 30 minutes you go from never having made an AI picture to producing social posts, slides, study aids, and thumbnails you can actually use. Nano Banana is the free, lightweight way to start, so there is nothing to install and no subscription required to follow along.
Written for complete beginners with no design or technical background, the course starts by explaining what Nano Banana is and how it compares to Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, and Flux. You then learn to access it in Gemini, write prompts that get good results using a simple five-part recipe, edit and refine images by chatting with the model, and match each image to where it will be posted. The final lesson is honest about the limits of free image generation and shows you exactly when a paid model is worth it.
Every lesson is hands-on and outcome-focused, so you finish with a repeatable workflow rather than just theory. Complete the lessons and pass the final exam to earn a free certificate of completion you can add to LinkedIn or a resume.
