A regal classical oil-painting portrait styling the couple as period nobility.

A chic Parisian street portrait with the Eiffel Tower softly in the background.

Frequently Asked Questions

Upload a clear photo of the two of you in ChatGPT, then paste one of these prompts that references 'the uploaded photo of us'. ChatGPT's image generation restyles the scene, outfits and lighting while you instruct it to keep your real faces. Use a well-lit photo where both faces are clearly visible for the best likeness.
Some identity drift is normal with AI image generation. To minimize it, upload a sharp, well-lit photo, keep both faces clearly visible and unobstructed, and always include a line like 'keep our exact faces and identities consistent with the photo'. If a result is off, regenerate or ask ChatGPT to make the faces match the original more closely.
Choose a photo where both of you are facing the camera in good, even lighting with no heavy shadows, sunglasses or hats covering your faces. Higher resolution and a neutral, uncluttered background help ChatGPT preserve your features and apply new styles cleanly.
Yes. These prompts are templates, so swap in any location (replace Santorini with Tokyo), any wardrobe, or any decade. Keep the structure of scene plus mood plus the identity-lock instruction, and just change the specific details to fit the look you want.
Image generation is available to ChatGPT users, though free accounts have lower limits and paid plans (such as Plus) offer more generations and faster results. Limits and features change over time, so check your plan if you hit a cap while trying multiple styles.
