Frequently Asked Questions

Open ChatGPT with GPT-4o image generation, upload your photo where the prompt says [YOUR PHOTO], then paste the full prompt text. GPT-4o reads the uploaded image as a reference and generates a new wedding-styled version. You can refine by replying with small tweaks like "warmer light" or "make the gown ivory".
GPT-4o approximates likeness from your uploaded photo but does not guarantee a perfect match, especially in complex scenes. For the closest result, upload a clear, well-lit, front-facing photo and add "keep the faces faithful to the uploaded photo" to the prompt. Expect to regenerate a few times to get the likeness you want.
Yes. The restore-and-restyle prompts ask GPT-4o to repair damage, colorize, upscale, or re-grade an existing image while preserving the original composition. Results are strong for moderate damage and fading, though heavily torn or very low-resolution photos may need a couple of passes. Always tell it to preserve the original framing and expressions.
For framed portraits, ask for a 4:5 or 5:7 vertical ratio; for sweeping destination scenes, use 16:9 widescreen; for social grids, use a 1:1 square. State the ratio at the end of your message, since GPT-4o defaults to a square or near-square frame otherwise.
Yes, every prompt on this page is free to copy and paste. You only need access to ChatGPT with GPT-4o image generation, which is available on ChatGPT's paid tiers and, with limits, on the free tier. Swap the bracketed placeholders for your own photos and details and the prompts work as-is.
