35 copy-paste prompts

35 copy-paste ChatGPT prompts for AI selfies, product photography, photo editing, social media visuals, and creative artwork - no Photoshop required.

AI Selfies & Portraits

Professional Headshot from Description

Generate a professional headshot photo of me based on this description: I am a [gender] with [hair color], [hair length] hair, [skin tone] skin, and [eye color] eyes. I am [age range]. Style the photo as a LinkedIn-quality headshot with a [solid neutral / blurred office / outdoor] background. I am wearing [clothing description]. The lighting should be soft and flattering, shot at eye level with a slight smile. Make it look like it was taken with a DSLR at f/2.8 with natural bokeh.

Creates a realistic professional headshot based on your physical description without needing an actual photo session.

💡

Pro tip: Include specific details about your jawline, face shape, and expression to get a more accurate result. Vague descriptions produce generic faces.

Consistent Character Across Multiple Scenes

I want to create a series of images of the same person in different settings. The character is: [detailed physical description including age, build, hair, skin, distinguishing features]. Generate this exact person in the following scene: [scene description, e.g., "sitting at a coffee shop with a laptop, morning light coming through the window"]. Maintain absolute consistency in their facial features, body proportions, and overall appearance. The style should be [photorealistic / illustrated / cinematic].

Generates images of a consistent character across different scenes - useful for personal branding, storytelling, or social content.

💡

Pro tip: Save your character description as a reusable block. Paste it into every prompt to maintain consistency across your entire image series.

Couples or Group Portrait

Create a [couples portrait / family photo / group photo] with these people: Person 1: [detailed description] Person 2: [detailed description] [Add more if needed] Scene: [describe setting, e.g., "standing in front of autumn foliage in a park"]. They are [posing description: arms around each other, sitting on a bench, laughing together]. The mood is [warm and candid / formal and posed / playful]. Lighting: [golden hour / studio / natural overcast]. Style: [photorealistic portrait photography with shallow depth of field].

Creates realistic group or couples portraits with specific poses and settings for social media or personal use.

💡

Pro tip: Describe the relationship between people through their body language in the prompt - "leaning into each other" produces more natural results than just listing positions.

Seasonal or Holiday Self-Portrait

Generate a [holiday/season] themed portrait photo. The person is: [physical description]. The setting is [describe: in front of a Christmas tree, at a pumpkin patch, cherry blossoms in spring, snowy cabin porch]. They are wearing [seasonal clothing description]. Include [seasonal elements: string lights, falling leaves, snowflakes, flowers]. The color palette should emphasize [warm tones / cool tones / pastels]. Style: lifestyle photography with [cozy / festive / bright and airy] mood. Aspect ratio: [4:5 for Instagram / 16:9 for cover photo].

Creates seasonal themed portraits perfect for holiday social media posts without an actual photoshoot.

💡

Pro tip: Generate seasonal content 2-3 weeks before the holiday. Early holiday posts get more engagement than posts on the actual day when feeds are oversaturated.

Before and After Transformation Photo

Create a side-by-side before-and-after image showing a [type of transformation: fitness, style makeover, office renovation, room redesign]. Left side (before): [describe the "before" state in detail]. Right side (after): [describe the "after" state in detail]. Both images should have the same camera angle, lighting conditions, and composition so the transformation is the focal point. Add a subtle dividing line between the two halves. Style: clean, realistic photography with even lighting.

Generates compelling before-and-after comparison images for social media, fitness content, or renovation showcases.

💡

Pro tip: Keep the camera angle and framing identical between both halves. The power of before/after comes from the contrast, not the composition change.

Professional Bio Photo Set

Generate a set of 3 professional bio photos for [name/description]. Physical appearance: [detailed description]. The three photos should be: 1. Close-up headshot: shoulders up, direct eye contact, confident slight smile, [solid/gradient] background 2. Half-body environmental shot: sitting or standing in a [relevant professional setting], looking slightly off-camera, natural expression 3. Action shot: actively doing [relevant professional activity], candid feel but well-composed All three should have consistent color grading ([warm / cool / neutral]), the same person with identical features, and a [modern and clean / warm and approachable / bold and creative] aesthetic.

Creates a cohesive set of three professional photos for websites, speaker pages, or About sections.

💡

Pro tip: Use the close-up for LinkedIn, the environmental shot for your website bio, and the action shot for speaker profiles or press kits.

Photo Editing & Enhancement

Background Replacement

Take this photo concept and generate it with a different background. Subject: [describe the person or object in detail, including clothing, pose, expression]. Original background: [describe what you want removed]. New background: [describe the replacement background in detail, e.g., "a modern office with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a city skyline"]. Match the lighting direction and color temperature of the new background to the subject. Ensure shadows fall naturally. The result should look like the subject was actually photographed in the new location.

Generates an image with a seamless background swap that matches lighting and shadows naturally.

💡

Pro tip: Specify the direction of light on both the subject and the new background. Mismatched lighting is the #1 giveaway of a bad composite.

Color Grading and Mood Shift

Generate two versions of this scene: [describe the photo scene in detail, including subjects, composition, and setting]. Version 1: [mood A] color grading - [describe: warm golden tones, high contrast, rich shadows, like a Wes Anderson film] Version 2: [mood B] color grading - [describe: cool blue tones, desaturated, moody shadows, like a David Fincher film] Keep the composition and content identical between versions. Only the color treatment, contrast, and mood should change. This will help me decide which aesthetic works best for my [project type].

Creates the same scene with two different color treatments so you can compare moods before committing to an aesthetic.

💡

Pro tip: Choose your color grade before your photoshoot (or generation session), not after. It affects wardrobe, prop, and setting decisions.

Image Upscale and Detail Enhancement

I have a low-quality image concept I want to recreate at high resolution. The original image shows: [describe every detail of the image you want to recreate - subjects, composition, colors, lighting, textures, background elements]. Recreate this scene in [photorealistic / illustrated] style at the highest possible quality. Add realistic detail to: skin texture, fabric weave, environmental textures (wood grain, metal reflections, foliage). The lighting should be [describe]. Resolution: maximum quality, sharp focus throughout.

Recreates a low-quality image concept at high resolution with enhanced details and textures.

💡

Pro tip: List every texture you can see in the original: fabric type, surface materials, natural elements. More texture details produce more realistic outputs.

Object Removal and Scene Cleanup

Generate a clean version of this scene: [describe the scene] but WITHOUT these elements: [list objects to remove]. The areas where removed objects were should be filled with [describe what should be there instead: continuation of the background, empty table surface, clean wall, etc.]. The fill should match the surrounding textures, lighting, and perspective perfectly. No visible seams or artifacts. Keep everything else in the scene exactly as described.

Creates a version of your scene concept with unwanted elements cleanly removed and naturally filled.

💡

Pro tip: Be specific about what should fill the empty space. "Remove the lamp" is less useful than "remove the lamp and extend the bookshelf behind it."

Lighting Correction

Generate this scene with corrected lighting: [describe the scene in detail]. Current lighting problem: [describe: too dark, harsh shadows, flat lighting, backlit subject, mixed color temperatures]. Corrected version should have: [describe ideal lighting - e.g., "soft key light from the left at 45 degrees, gentle fill from the right, warm color temperature around 4500K"]. The subject should be properly exposed with detail visible in both highlights and shadows. Add [catchlights in eyes / rim light / hair light] if a person is in the scene.

Regenerates a scene concept with professional-quality lighting that solves common photography problems.

💡

Pro tip: Learn the names of basic lighting setups (Rembrandt, butterfly, split, loop) so you can reference them in prompts for consistent professional results.

Style Transfer Between Photos

Generate an image that combines these two concepts: Content: [describe the subject and scene you want to keep - e.g., "a woman sitting at a cafe reading a book"] Style: Apply the visual style of [describe the reference aesthetic - e.g., "1970s Kodachrome film photography with warm vintage tones, film grain, slightly faded highlights, and rich earth tones"] The content and composition should match the first description exactly, but the color palette, texture, grain, contrast, and overall mood should match the style reference. The result should look like the content was photographed using the style reference's techniques and equipment.

Applies the aesthetic style of one reference to the content of another, like shooting a modern scene with vintage equipment.

💡

Pro tip: Reference specific film stocks (Portra 400, Kodachrome 64, Velvia 50) or photographer names for more precise style transfer.

Product Photography

Clean Product Shot on White Background

Generate a professional product photo of [product description: type, color, material, size, distinguishing features]. Place it on a pure white (#FFFFFF) background. The product should be centered, photographed at a [slight angle / straight-on / 3/4 view] to show its best features. Lighting: soft studio lighting with no harsh shadows, a subtle shadow beneath the product for grounding. The image should look like an Amazon or Shopify product listing photo. Show the product at [actual size relative to frame / filling 80% of frame]. Focus should be tack-sharp on the product.

Creates e-commerce ready product photos with clean white backgrounds suitable for marketplaces and online stores.

💡

Pro tip: Generate multiple angles (front, side, 3/4, top-down) of the same product in one session to build a complete listing gallery.

Lifestyle Product Photo

Create a lifestyle product photo showing [product description] being used naturally in [setting: modern kitchen, cozy living room, outdoor patio, gym, office desk]. The person using it is [description or "not visible - just hands"]. The scene should feel candid and aspirational, not staged. Include environmental details: [list 3-4 props that complement the product, e.g., "a cup of coffee, a plant, morning newspaper"]. Lighting: [natural window light / golden hour / soft ambient]. The product should be clearly visible but not awkwardly centered. Style: editorial lifestyle photography for a brand like [reference brand].

Places your product in an aspirational real-world setting that helps customers visualize ownership.

💡

Pro tip: The best lifestyle shots make the product a natural part of the scene, not the obvious center of attention. Let the environment sell the lifestyle.

Product Flat Lay Composition

Generate a top-down flat lay photo featuring [main product] surrounded by [list 5-8 complementary items that tell a story, e.g., for a journal: "fountain pen, coffee cup, reading glasses, dried flowers, wax seal, vintage stamps"]. Arrange them on a [surface: marble countertop, wooden table, linen fabric, colored paper]. The composition should follow [rule of thirds / symmetrical / organized chaos] layout. Color palette: [describe 3-4 dominant colors]. Lighting: even, soft overhead light with minimal shadows. Leave [some / no] negative space. Style: Instagram-worthy flat lay for a [brand type] aesthetic.

Creates a curated flat lay photo that tells a visual story around your product for social media or marketing.

💡

Pro tip: Use odd numbers of objects (3, 5, 7) in flat lays. Odd groupings create more visual tension and feel less staged than even numbers.

Product Scale and Size Reference

Generate a product photo of [product description] that clearly communicates its size. Show it: (1) next to a common size reference object: [hand, coin, smartphone, coffee mug, ruler], (2) in a setting where familiar objects provide scale context. The product dimensions are approximately [measurements]. Make sure the reference object is universally recognizable. The photo style should be clean and informative, suitable for an e-commerce listing where customers frequently ask "how big is it?" Lighting: bright, even, detail-revealing.

Creates size-reference product photos that answer the most common customer question before they have to ask.

💡

Pro tip: A human hand holding the product is the most universally understood size reference and also makes the product feel tangible and real.

Product Packaging Mockup

Generate a product packaging mockup for [product name]. The packaging is a [box type / bag / bottle / pouch / tube] with these design elements: [describe: colors, logo placement, text, patterns, material finish]. Show the packaging: (1) closed and standing upright at a 3/4 angle, (2) partially open revealing the product inside. The setting is [on a shelf / on a table / floating on a gradient background]. Include subtle reflections and realistic material textures ([matte / glossy / kraft paper / metallic]). The packaging should look premium and ready for a brand presentation.

Creates realistic packaging mockups for product presentations, investor decks, or pre-production visualization.

💡

Pro tip: Show packaging in context (on a shelf next to competitors, in a customer's hands) to test how it stands out in the real world, not just in isolation.

Multi-Angle Product Gallery

Create a [4 / 6]-image product gallery for [product description]. Each image should show the same product from a different angle: 1. Front-facing hero shot at slight angle 2. Side profile view 3. Top-down view 4. Close-up detail shot highlighting [key feature: texture, clasp, label, stitching] [5. Back view if applicable] [6. In-use or in-context shot] All images should have: identical white background, consistent studio lighting, same color temperature, and the product at the same relative size in frame. This should look like a professional e-commerce product gallery.

Generates a complete multi-angle product gallery ready for e-commerce listings in one coordinated session.

💡

Pro tip: Consistent lighting across all angles is more important than perfect lighting on any single shot. Mismatched gallery photos look amateur.

Social Media Visuals

Instagram Post Visual

Generate an Instagram-optimized image (1080x1080 or 4:5 aspect ratio) for a post about [topic]. The visual style should match my brand: [describe: minimalist, bold, colorful, earthy, luxury]. The image should include: [describe scene or concept]. Color palette: [list 3-4 colors]. Text overlay space: leave a [top / center / bottom] area relatively clean for potential text overlay. The image should stop the scroll - it needs to be visually striking even at thumbnail size. Style reference: like what you would see on [@reference account] or [brand name].

Creates scroll-stopping Instagram visuals optimized for the platform's dimensions and thumbnail preview.

💡

Pro tip: View every image at the size of a phone screen thumbnail before using it. If it does not pop at 150x150 pixels, it will not stop the scroll.

LinkedIn Banner Image

Generate a LinkedIn banner image (1584x396 pixels, or 4:1 aspect ratio). I am a [job title] in [industry]. My personal brand is about [describe: innovation, leadership, data-driven decisions, creative problem solving]. The banner should include: [visual elements that represent your brand - e.g., "abstract data visualization patterns", "cityscape with modern architecture", "clean workspace with technology"]. Color palette: [professional colors that complement my headshot]. Leave the left 30% relatively empty as my profile photo overlaps there. Style: professional, modern, and distinctive without being flashy.

Creates a LinkedIn banner that communicates your professional brand and complements your profile photo.

💡

Pro tip: Your LinkedIn banner is the largest visual on your profile. Make it communicate one clear message about what you do or believe, not a collage of everything.

YouTube Thumbnail

Generate a YouTube thumbnail (1280x720, 16:9) for a video titled "[video title]" about [topic]. The thumbnail should include: [describe: a person with [expression] on the [left/right] side, a key visual element on the opposite side]. Use [2-3 bold, contrasting colors]. The emotional hook is [curiosity / shock / excitement / transformation]. Leave space for text overlay that will read: "[3-5 word text]". The image should be readable and impactful at 168x94 pixels (YouTube small thumbnail size). Style: high contrast, saturated, attention-grabbing. Background: [describe or "blurred/bokeh"].

Creates a click-worthy YouTube thumbnail designed to perform at the tiny sizes where viewers actually see it.

💡

Pro tip: Squint at your thumbnail from across the room. If you can still understand the concept, it will work at small sizes. If you cannot, simplify it.

Story or Reel Cover Image

Generate a [9:16 aspect ratio] image for an Instagram Story or Reel cover about [topic]. The design should be [describe aesthetic]. Central visual: [what the main image shows]. Background: [solid color / gradient / blurred photo / pattern]. The image should work as a static cover that makes people want to tap. Include visual space for a [title / question / CTA] text overlay. Brand colors: [list]. The composition should draw the eye to the center-top of the frame where Instagram shows the content. Style: [polished and professional / casual and authentic / bold and graphic].

Creates a Reel or Story cover image that drives taps from your profile grid.

💡

Pro tip: Reel covers are the new first impression on your profile grid. Design them as a cohesive series with a consistent template, not random screenshots.

Quote Card Visual

Generate a visually striking quote card image for this quote: "[paste quote]" attributed to [author/source]. Design specifications: aspect ratio [1:1 / 4:5 / 16:9], background [describe: textured paper, gradient, photo-based, abstract pattern], font style suggestion [serif / sans-serif / handwritten], color palette [describe]. The quote should be the focal point with clear visual hierarchy. Include the attribution in smaller text below. Add [subtle decorative elements: quotation marks, line dividers, small icons] without cluttering. The overall feel should be [inspirational / thought-provoking / bold / elegant].

Turns any quote into a share-worthy visual card with professional typography and design.

💡

Pro tip: The best quote cards have 15 words or fewer. If your quote is longer, pull out the single most powerful sentence.

Carousel Slide Series

Generate [5 / 7 / 10] carousel slide images for a post about [topic]. Each slide should be 1080x1080 (1:1). The series needs: Slide 1 (hook): [bold visual that stops the scroll, teases the topic] Slide 2-[N-1] (content): [describe what each slide covers - one concept per slide] Final slide (CTA): [call to action - follow, save, share, link in bio] All slides must have: consistent brand colors [list], the same visual template/layout, clear readable text areas, and a cohesive flow where each slide makes you want to swipe to the next. Style: [educational / storytelling / data-driven / tips-based]. Include slide numbers or progress indicators.

Creates a complete carousel series with consistent branding and a logical flow from hook to CTA.

💡

Pro tip: The swipe rate from slide 1 to slide 2 determines whether Instagram pushes your carousel. Make slide 1 a cliffhanger that demands the swipe.

Creative & Artistic

Specific Art Style Rendering

Generate an image of [describe your scene or subject] in the exact style of [art movement or artist style: Art Nouveau, Bauhaus, Studio Ghibli, Moebius, Art Deco, Impressionism, Cyberpunk, Ukiyo-e]. Include the defining characteristics of this style: [list 3-4 specific elements, e.g., for Art Nouveau: "organic flowing lines, floral motifs, muted gold and green palette, decorative borders"]. The composition should follow [describe layout]. Color palette: [authentic to the style]. The result should be indistinguishable from actual work created in this style.

Creates images in a specific and recognizable art style with authentic details and techniques.

💡

Pro tip: Name specific characteristics of the art style rather than just the style name. "Art Deco" is vague. "Art Deco with geometric gold patterns, stepped forms, and rich jewel tones" is specific.

Surreal Photo Manipulation Concept

Generate a surreal photograph that combines [impossible concept: e.g., "a staircase that loops back on itself like an Escher drawing", "a person holding the moon like a balloon", "a room where gravity works differently on each wall"]. The style should be photorealistic despite the impossible subject matter. Lighting should be natural and consistent as if this scene were actually photographed. Include small realistic details that ground the surreal elements (texture on surfaces, natural shadows, atmospheric haze). The mood is [dreamlike / unsettling / whimsical / contemplative]. Aspect ratio: [specify].

Creates photorealistic impossible scenes that blend surrealist concepts with grounded visual details.

💡

Pro tip: The more realistic the non-surreal elements are, the more impactful the surreal element becomes. Contrast is what makes the impossible feel uncanny.

Digital Illustration in Specific Medium

Create an illustration of [describe scene] that looks like it was created with [specific medium: watercolor on cold-pressed paper, oil paint on canvas, colored pencil on toned paper, ink wash, gouache, charcoal on newsprint]. Include the texture and imperfections of this medium: [e.g., for watercolor: "visible brush strokes, pigment granulation, soft edges where colors bleed, white paper showing through in highlights"]. The subject is [describe]. Color palette: [limited to what this medium naturally produces]. The illustration should look like a finished piece by a skilled artist, not a digital filter.

Produces illustrations with the authentic look and texture of traditional art media.

💡

Pro tip: Reference the limitations of the medium in your prompt. Watercolors can not produce pure black; charcoal creates a specific kind of softness. These limitations are what make it look real.

Comic or Graphic Novel Panel

Generate a [single panel / 4-panel strip / full page layout] comic illustration. Style: [describe: classic superhero, manga, indie graphic novel, Franco-Belgian, underground comix, web comic clean line]. Characters: [describe each character's appearance]. Scene: [describe what is happening]. Include [speech bubbles with text: "(dialogue here)" / no text / sound effects]. The art should include [hatching / screentones / flat colors / painted]. Panel borders: [thick black / thin / borderless / dynamic broken frames]. Aspect ratio and layout: [describe].

Creates comic art in a specific genre style with panel layouts, character designs, and optional dialogue.

💡

Pro tip: Describe the "camera angle" for each panel like a film director: bird's eye, worm's eye, close-up, wide establishing shot. This creates dynamic visual storytelling.

Abstract Art for Wall Decor

Generate an abstract art piece suitable for printing and framing as wall decor. Style: [geometric / organic / expressionist / minimalist / color field]. Dominant colors: [list 3-5 colors that would complement a room with (describe room colors)]. The piece should evoke [describe mood: calm, energetic, contemplative, luxurious]. Composition: [balanced / asymmetric / radial / flowing]. Include [texture: visible brushstrokes, palette knife marks, smooth gradients, splatter]. Dimensions: [landscape / portrait / square] orientation. The result should look like a piece you would find in a [contemporary gallery / boutique hotel / Scandinavian home / corporate lobby].

Creates print-ready abstract art designed to complement specific room aesthetics and color palettes.

💡

Pro tip: Pull your color palette from the room where you will hang the art. A piece that shares 2-3 colors with its environment looks curated, not random.

Holiday & Event Photos

Christmas Card Photo

Generate a Christmas card photo featuring [describe people: family of four, couple, single person with pet]. Physical descriptions: [detail each person]. Setting: [in front of a Christmas tree, on a snowy porch, by a fireplace with stockings, in matching holiday pajamas]. Everyone is [posing description]. Include Christmas elements: [twinkling lights, ornaments, wreaths, hot cocoa, presents]. The mood should be [warm and cozy / playful and fun / elegant and classic]. Lighting: [warm indoor / soft golden / sparkly]. Leave space at [top/bottom] for text that will read "[Family name] Christmas [year]". Aspect ratio: 5x7 vertical for printing.

Creates a printable Christmas card photo with your family or personal holiday aesthetic.

💡

Pro tip: Generate the image in early November to have time for printing and mailing. Rush jobs in December mean fewer card options.

Birthday Party Invitation Visual

Generate a birthday party invitation image for a [age]-year-old's birthday. Theme: [describe theme: tropical, princess, superhero, elegant adult dinner, minimalist modern]. The image should include: [visual elements for the theme]. Color palette: [list colors]. Leave clear space for these text elements: Name, date, time, location, RSVP info. The layout should be [portrait 5x7 / landscape / square for digital]. Style: [playful illustrated / photo-realistic / graphic design / hand-lettered]. Include [balloons, confetti, streamers, flowers, themed decorations] as appropriate for the theme.

Creates a themed birthday invitation visual ready for text overlay and printing or digital sharing.

💡

Pro tip: For kids' parties, make the theme elements BIG and obvious. For adult parties, subtlety and color palette carry the theme.

Wedding or Engagement Announcement

Generate an image for a [wedding invitation / engagement announcement / save the date]. The couple: [describe both people]. Style: [classic and elegant / modern minimalist / rustic bohemian / tropical destination / romantic garden]. Setting: [describe background]. The couple is [posing description]. Color palette: [wedding colors]. Include [floral elements, arch, venue details, seasonal elements]. Leave space for text: names, date, venue, and [other details]. Aspect ratio: [5x7 for printed invitations / 1:1 for social media announcement / 16:9 for wedding website header]. The overall aesthetic should match a [price range / venue type] wedding.

Creates wedding or engagement visuals that match your wedding aesthetic for invitations and announcements.

💡

Pro tip: Match the image style to your actual wedding venue and decor plan. Guests form expectations from the invitation.

Halloween Costume Concept

Generate a Halloween costume concept photo showing a person: [physical description] dressed as [costume idea]. The costume includes: [describe each element in detail: clothing, makeup, props, accessories]. Setting: [describe background: dark atmospheric, trick-or-treat street, haunted house, costume party]. The photo style should be [spooky and atmospheric / fun and colorful / cinematic horror / cute and family-friendly]. Lighting: [dramatic with harsh shadows / orange jack-o-lantern glow / purple-blue moody / bright party lighting]. Include [jack-o-lanterns, cobwebs, fog, candy, bats] as set dressing.

Visualizes a Halloween costume idea so you can plan your look before buying or making anything.

💡

Pro tip: Generate the costume concept in September. This gives you time to source materials, test makeup looks, and make adjustments before October 31.

Graduation Photo

Generate a graduation photo of [person description] wearing [describe cap and gown: color, stole, honor cords]. Setting: [university campus steps, library, under a brick archway, with flowering trees]. The graduate is [posing: tossing cap, holding diploma, standing proudly, laughing with friends]. Include [university-specific details if any]. The mood is [celebratory / reflective / proud / joyful]. Lighting: [golden hour outdoor / bright spring day / formal indoor]. Aspect ratio: [portrait for framing / square for social media]. Style: editorial graduation photography.

Creates a graduation photo with specific university and ceremonial details for social media or framing.

💡

Pro tip: Include the specific gown and stole colors for your university. Generic black gowns feel stock-photo-like, while specific details make it personal.

Event Promotional Graphic

Generate a promotional graphic for [event name], a [type of event: conference, workshop, concert, charity gala, product launch, webinar]. Date: [date]. The visual should communicate: [the theme or mood of the event]. Include: [relevant visual elements - stage, speakers, products, venue]. Color palette: [event brand colors]. Text areas needed for: event name (large), date and time, location, tagline or brief description, and a CTA. Aspect ratio: [16:9 for event page banner / 1:1 for social media / 9:16 for Story promotion]. Style: [corporate professional / creative and bold / elegant and upscale / casual and inviting].

Creates event promotional graphics that communicate the event's theme and include all essential information areas.

💡

Pro tip: Create the graphic in multiple aspect ratios from the same visual concept. You will need different versions for different channels.

Seasonal Business Promotion Visual

Generate a seasonal promotional image for [business name], a [business type], for [season/holiday: Valentine's Day, Summer Sale, Back to School, Black Friday, New Year]. The image should feature [products or service visual]. Seasonal elements: [holiday-specific decorations, colors, symbols]. Brand colors: [list] should be prominently featured alongside seasonal colors. Include clear space for a promotional message like "[discount/offer]". The image should feel [festive but professional / fun and eye-catching / elegant and seasonal / urgent and promotional]. Aspect ratio: [specify for intended use]. Target audience: [describe].

Creates business promotional visuals that blend your brand identity with seasonal themes.

💡

Pro tip: Your brand colors should still dominate even in seasonal promotions. A sale that does not look like your brand confuses returning customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

ChatGPT can generate images based on your physical description, but they will not be exact replicas of your face. For the most accurate results, provide extremely detailed descriptions including face shape, specific features, and distinguishing characteristics. The output works well for conceptual visuals, social media content, and creative projects, but should not be used as a substitute for actual photos in contexts where authenticity matters, like professional ID photos or legal documents.
Images generated through ChatGPT (DALL-E) are generally yours to use commercially per OpenAI's terms of service as of 2026. However, you should avoid generating images that closely resemble real, identifiable people or copyrighted characters. Always check the current terms of service for the specific AI tool you use, as policies can change. For any use in advertising or products, it is good practice to disclose that images are AI-generated where required by applicable regulations.
Save your detailed character or product description as a reusable block that you paste into every prompt. Include specific details: exact hair color and style, clothing, body proportions, and distinguishing features. Reference previous outputs by describing them ("maintain the same face shape and expression from the previous image"). Consistency improves significantly when your descriptions are specific enough that two different AI sessions would produce similar results from the same prompt.
The best prompts include five elements: subject (who or what), setting (where), style (how it looks), lighting (the mood driver), and composition (camera angle and framing). Vague prompts like "a photo of a dog" produce generic results. Specific prompts like "a golden retriever puppy sitting on a worn leather armchair, warm afternoon light through a bay window, shot with a 50mm lens at f/1.8, shallow depth of field" produce images you can actually use.
Yes, these prompts work with any text-to-image AI including Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, and Adobe Firefly. Each tool has different strengths: Midjourney excels at artistic and stylized images, DALL-E is strong at following complex instructions, and Stable Diffusion offers the most control over technical parameters. You may need to adjust formatting slightly (Midjourney uses different syntax), but the descriptive content of each prompt is universally applicable.
