Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Every prompt tells ChatGPT to keep your exact face, likeness and identity unchanged while restyling hair, wardrobe, backdrop, and the Mardi Gras treatment. Upload a clear photo and review the result, since AI can drift on small details.

You need a model with image generation such as GPT-4o. Paste a prompt, attach your photo, and generate. If you do not see an image tool, enable image generation on your plan.

A clear, front-facing photo where your face is easy to see works best. For full-outfit or hair restyling, a half or full-body shot gives the model more to work with.

The prompts are free to copy. Generating the picture needs ChatGPT's image tool, usually free with limits and more generous on a paid plan.

Yes. Most prompts ask for a 4:5 portrait that crops cleanly for Instagram, a dating app, or a print. Generate at the ratio you will actually use rather than cropping a mismatch later.
