Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Every prompt tells the AI to change only the clothing and to keep your face, hair, body, and pose exactly the same. For the best result, upload a clear, well-lit photo where your face is fully visible, and read back the output to check the likeness before you use it.
These prompts work in image-editing AI tools like ChatGPT (with image editing) and Google Gemini. Both offer free tiers that can handle outfit swaps, so you can start without paying. Paid plans mainly give you faster and higher-resolution results.
Use the shirt colour change prompt and simply name the colour you want, such as 'change the shirt to sky blue' or 'recolour the shirt to deep red'. The AI keeps the same shirt style and folds and only swaps the colour, so it still looks like a real photo.
Yes. The coat suit prompt works even if you start in a t-shirt or hoodie. The AI replaces your whole top half with a tailored coat and suit while keeping your face and pose, so a casual selfie can become a formal portrait.
Start with a sharp, evenly lit photo and keep your pose natural. Name the outfit clearly and add small details like fabric, colour, and collar style. If the first result looks off, run the prompt again or add 'match the original lighting and keep the fabric realistic' to sharpen it.
