Nano Banana 2 Face Swap Guide: Identity-Safe Swaps That Don’t Melt

Most “face swap” tools chase memes. I use Nano Banana 2 when the face must stay usable for brand work—not horror morphs.

What “good swap” means

Same bone structure, matching light direction, no melted jawlines, skin texture that survives a zoom.

Workflow

1. Clean face reference (front, even light)
2. Target scene with similar head angle
3. Prompt: change scene/outfit only
4. Reject anything that shifts eye spacing

Prompt pattern

Same person as reference, identical facial features and hairline, new scene only, match lighting direction, photoreal, no face morphing, no beauty distortion

Common fails

• Reference too dark → light mismatches
• Extreme pose delta → mush
• Beauty filters in prompt → new face
