VeilPix: First Platform with Native Nano Banana Aspect Ratio Control!
Since Google's "Nano Banana" (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image) was released one month ago, it has completely revolutionized AI image editing. However, one of the biggest challenges has been its struggle with creating different aspect ratios. As designers, content creators, and web developers know, aspect ratio control is crucial for desktop backgrounds, website banners, YouTube thumbnails, Instagram posts, and presentations. The secret? Nano Banana actually does have this ability—it just requires some backend magic. VeilPix has figured it out and is the first image generation platform to include this capability natively!
🎉 VeilPix's Native Aspect Ratio Feature
Great news! VeilPix now includes native aspect ratio control built directly into the platform. No more manual workarounds needed!
How to Use VeilPix's Native Aspect Ratio Feature:
- 1. Upload your image to VeilPix
- 2. Go to the "Adjust" tab
- 3. Click the "Aspect Ratio" button
- 4. Select your desired aspect ratio (16:9, 4:3, 1:1, etc.)
- 5. Optionally add a custom prompt for additional adjustments
- 6. Click "Apply Aspect Ratio"
VeilPix automatically handles the technical implementation behind the scenes, giving you perfect aspect ratios every time. Try it now for free!
🔧 For Users of Other Nano Banana Platforms
Not using VeilPix? No problem! If you're using direct Gemini access or other Nano Banana-powered platforms, you can still achieve aspect ratio control with the transparent image technique below.
This workaround is perfect for platforms that haven't yet implemented native aspect ratio support. The technique works universally across all Nano Banana implementations.
💡 The Manual Solution (For Other Platforms)
The technique involves providing Gemini with a blank, transparent image that already has your desired aspect ratio. Gemini uses this "reference" image to guide its output, ensuring perfect dimensions every time.
Step 1: Create Your Blank Transparent Image
🎯 What You Need
You'll need a blank transparent PNG file with the exact aspect ratio you want. Instead of using complex software like Photoshop, you can create a simple web-based tool using Gemini itself, or use the pre-made templates we provide below.
This works with any AI image editor, including VeilPix's privacy-first image generation and direct Gemini access.
Option 1: Create Your Own Tool
Go to Gemini AI
Open Gemini and initiate a new conversation.
Request the Tool Creation
Use this prompt to instruct Gemini to create a web-based tool:
"Create a minimalist web-based tool for generating transparent PNG files with user-specified aspect ratios. Include common presets like 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, and allow custom dimensions."
Generate & Download
Once the tool is generated, select your desired aspect ratio and download the transparent PNG file.
Option 2: Use Our Free Templates
Skip the tool creation! We've prepared common aspect ratio transparent images, tested with VeilPix and other AI image generators:
Landscape Ratios:
- • 16:9 (Widescreen) - YouTube thumbnails, presentations
- • 4:3 (Standard) - Classic photos, traditional displays
- • 21:9 (Ultrawide) - Cinematic, banner images
- • 3:2 (Photography) - DSLR standard format
Portrait & Square:
- • 1:1 (Square) - Instagram posts, profile pictures
- • 9:16 (Vertical) - Instagram Stories, TikTok
- • 3:4 (Portrait) - Vertical photos, posters
- • 2:3 (Classic) - Traditional portrait format
Step 2: Use the Blank Image for New Image Creation
This technique works with any Nano Banana-powered platform. We'll demonstrate using VeilPix, but the steps are identical for direct Gemini access.
Upload Your Reference First
Upload the blank transparent PNG you created before writing your main prompt. In VeilPix, simply drag and drop it into the image area.
Write Your Creative Prompt
Add your detailed image creation prompt. For example:
"A photorealistic picture of a frog riding a train in the 1950s"
Add the Magic Instruction
Include this crucial instruction at the end of your prompt:
"Use the uploaded image as the reference for final aspect ratio."
Generate & Enjoy!
Hit generate! Whether you're using VeilPix or another platform, Gemini will now produce images that match your reference aspect ratio.
💡 Pro Tip for VeilPix Users
VeilPix's privacy-first approach means your transparent reference images never leave your device until generation, providing extra security for your creative workflow.
The order matters! Always upload your transparent reference image first, then add your creative prompt with the aspect ratio instruction.
Step 3: Use the Blank Image for Editing Existing Images
This technique also works brilliantly for editing existing pictures while controlling the output aspect ratio! Perfect for when you want to expand a portrait into a landscape format, or vice versa.
Upload Your Original Image
Start by uploading the picture you want to edit to your AI image editor. In VeilPix, this protects your original image with local processing.
Add Your Transparent Reference
Upload your blank transparent PNG file as the second image. The platform will understand this as a dimensional guide.
Write Your Editing Prompt
Add your editing instructions. For example:
"Make the cat wear a red hat. Use the second image as aspect ratio reference."
Magic Happens!
Gemini will intelligently expand or crop the image to fit the aspect ratio of your transparent reference, filling in any new areas naturally while preserving the original subject.
⚠️ Important Note
For editing, the upload order can be flexible, but always specify which image serves as the aspect ratio reference in your prompt for best results. This ensures consistent behavior across different platforms.
