What This AI Photo Prompt Generator Does
This tool writes the text you hand to an image model along with your photo. You pick a style, say who is in the frame and which model you are targeting, and it turns that into one prompt that works. Nothing leaves your browser: the tool never takes a photo, it only builds text.
What makes a photo prompt work?
- Who: one person, a couple, a family, a group. If the model is not told, it adds or drops people.
- Identity lock: an explicit line asking the model to keep the face. Without it you get a face that resembles you instead of yours.
- Scene and light: setting, direction and hardness of the light, colour grade, film look. This is what actually decides the result.
- Framing: chest up or waist up, and the aspect ratio. Leave it out and the model picks for you.
What is in each category?
- Trends & Retro: 80s, 90s, Y2K, disposable camera, polaroid, VHS. The year selector changes the date inside the prompt.
- Professional: LinkedIn profile picture, corporate headshot, team page portrait.
- ID Photo: flat backdrop, neutral expression, standard framing. For practice only.
- Edit & Restore: sharpen a blurry photo, 4K upscale, restore an old damaged photo, replace the background, merge two photos into one frame.
- Portrait & Studio: studio portrait, cinematic still, black and white film, golden hour, street portrait.
- Events & Moments: graduation, wedding, birthday, New Year, holiday.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you write an AI photo prompt?
Four parts: who is in the photo, a line that locks their identity, the scene and light, then the framing and ratio. This tool assembles all four from your choices.
Why does every prompt repeat the identity line?
Image models drift towards changing faces, and with several people they blend them. Every prompt here asks the model to preserve facial features, proportions and identity exactly.
Can I use an AI generated photo for a passport or visa?
No. AI generated or edited photos are not accepted for passports, ID cards or visa applications. That category is for practice and previews only.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The tool only writes text. You upload your photo yourself, to whichever AI service you paste the prompt into.
