Examples of Photo Editing Prompts

Below is a list of prompts you can use to edit your photos with ChatGPT AI. We’ve also included examples of possible results to give you a better idea of the potential edits. Feel free to change these prompts to achieve your desired outcome.

"We used just one photograph to accurately showcase the AI's transformations."

LEGO Style

This style turns your photo into a realistic plastic LEGO figure. To change your photo into a Lego-style photo use this prompt:

"Transform this photo into a realistic LEGO style while keeping the person’s recognizable facial features. Use glossy plastic textures, blocky shapes for the face and clothing, smooth and bright lighting, and a clean background. The person’s identity should remain unchanged."

Claymation Style

This style gives your face a handmade, slightly uneven clay-like appearance. Use this prompt:

"Convert this photo into a high-detail Claymation style while preserving facial features accurately. Use soft clay texture, a handmade look, slight imperfections for realism, studio lighting, and a colorful blurred background. The face should not look cartoonish, and the person’s identity must stay the same."

Ghibli Style

You’ve probably seen such photos on Instagram lately. To turn your photo into a Studio Ghibli-style animation, use this prompt:

"Transform this photo into Studio Ghibli's anime style, with soft lighting, hand-drawn textures, large expressive eyes, pastel colors, and a dreamy background inspired by nature or fantasy elements."

Portrait Style

With ChatGPT, you can easily turn a simple photo into a professional studio portrait. Please note that The higher the quality the less likely for facial features to change.

The prompt for converting a regular photo into a portrait:

"Convert this photo into a high resolution black and white studio portrait while keeping the person’s real face intact. Use soft directional lighting, a clean blurred background, balanced contrast, gentle skin retouching, and cinematic shadows. Do not alter the person’s identity or facial features."

Origami Style

This style transforms your face into a folded paper artwork with minimal colors.
"Edit this photo to look like origami art, with visible paper fold lines and simple, minimal colors."

Cyberpunk Style

To edit your photo as you see below, use this prompt:
"Edit the image in a cyberpunk style, with pink and blue neon lights, a dark urban background, and a futuristic vibe."

Watercolor Style

For a soft watercolor painting effect, try this prompt:
"Make the photo resemble a watercolor painting, soft edges, blended colors, and a classic watercolor art style."

Stone Sculpture Style

This is one of my favorite prompts—less common in the ChatGPT photo-editing trend. To turn your photo into a Roman marble statue use this prompt:

"Recreate the person as a classic Roman stone sculpture Colorless, with only marble texture and natural lighting."

Magical Fantasy Style

Adds mystical lighting, magical cloaks, and mysterious backgrounds with this prompt:

"Edit the person’s face to resemble a fantasy wizard with a long cloak, glowing green magic light, and a misty forest background."

Video Game Character Style

I suggest to change this prompt to your favorite video game. Editing photos in Call of Duty style with ChatGPT is currently trending.
The following prompt is a good example for converting a photo into a video game character:

"Transform the person into a video game character with metal armor, a post apocalyptic background with smoke"
