A four-view character sheet on one seamless backdropGPT Image 2.5

by Abdul Shakoor8.1K viewsOriginal post

A four-view character sheet on one seamless backdrop

One woman photographed front, three-quarter, profile and rear across four panels, with wardrobe and lighting pinned so the four read as one shoot.

  • Prompt only
  • Character sheet
  • 4 panels
  • Consistency lock
Prompt757 characters
Multi-panel studio photographs of the same real woman across four panels: front-facing, three-quarter turn, full profile, and a rear view, all on a seamless neutral studio backdrop with soft even lighting. She has long straight golden-brown hair with warm honey-blonde balayage, loosely swept back with soft face-framing pieces, an oval face, warm brown eyes, softly tanned olive-warm skin, full lips, small stud earrings. She wears a rust-terracotta linen strapless wrap top tied at the back, matching wide-leg rust-terracotta linen trousers, and a woven raffia belt cinched at the waist. Same lighting, same skin texture, same wardrobe in every panel. Natural film-still photograph quality, visible skin pores and texture, no retouching, no beauty filter.

Why it works

  • The four angles are named up front, so the model lays out panels rather than guessing at a collage.
  • Identity is written as a list a stylist could work from — hair colour and parting, face shape, eye colour, skin tone, earrings — then wardrobe down to the belt material.
  • "Same lighting, same skin texture, same wardrobe in every panel" is the line doing the consistency work, and the closing "no retouching, no beauty filter" is what keeps the skin from going plastic.
Your own photo, restyled as a 1985 snapshotGPT Image 2.5

by Mira7.7K viewsOriginal post

Your own photo, restyled as a 1985 snapshot

An edit that keeps the face exactly and changes everything around it, with the era carried by film defects rather than by the word "vintage".

  • Needs a reference
  • Photo edit
  • Identity lock
  • Analog defects

Needs A photo of yourself

Prompt568 characters
Using my uploaded photo, show me what I would have looked like around 1985. Preserve my identity, facial features, skin tone, age, and recognizable appearance. Reimagine my hair, clothing, accessories, and surroundings with bold, unmistakably mid-1980s styling—expressive silhouettes, statement accessories, layered details, distinctive colors, and textures. Make it feel like a genuine 1985 photograph with analog grain, faded color, direct flash, and subtle softness. Add a period-accurate 1980s red-orange date stamp in the lower corner. No modern objects or text.

Why it works

  • It splits the job in two explicitly: preserve identity, features, skin tone and age; reimagine hair, clothing, accessories and surroundings. The model is told what not to touch before it is told what to change.
  • The period is specified as photographic artefacts — analog grain, faded colour, direct flash, subtle softness — which is what dates a picture more reliably than the clothes do.
  • The date stamp is given a colour and a corner, and "no modern objects or text" closes the usual leak.

Why it works

  • Every band is allocated a percentage of the image — hero 27%, philosophy 8%, services 16% — so the layout is designed rather than discovered.
  • All the copy is written out in the language it should render in, headline and body and button labels alike, which is what makes a page mock legible rather than lorem.
  • It opens by telling the assistant to generate the picture rather than return a prompt, a reminder that this one was written for a chat window.
A country whose border is drawn from its own landmarksGPT Image 2.5

by simeon-sanai605 viewsOriginal post

A country whose border is drawn from its own landmarks

One idea, stated once and precisely: arrange famous buildings so their collective silhouette traces the national outline.

  • Prompt only
  • Single strong idea
  • 3D diorama
  • Short prompt
Prompt779 characters
Create a unique 3D miniature [COUNTRY] where the entire national border is formed from its most iconic landmarks and cultural symbols. Arrange famous buildings, monuments, bridges, mountains, temples, towers, traditional architecture, trees, and other recognizable elements so their silhouettes collectively create the accurate outline of the country. Keep the interior mostly clean and minimal, with [CITY] represented by its signature landmark at the correct location. Use layered sculpted forms, tiny architectural details, soft shadows, handcrafted textures, warm ivory background, and elegant studio lighting. Premium collectible travel-diorama aesthetic, playful but sophisticated, highly recognizable. Add small refined typography: “[COUNTRY]” and “[CITY] • [FAMOUS FOR]”.

Why it works

  • The constraint is geometric and unusual, and it is stated as the first sentence — the model gets the whole concept before any style words arrive.
  • "Keep the interior mostly clean and minimal" is what stops the shape being swallowed by detail, and one city is pinned "at the correct location".
  • At around 700 characters it is the shortest full recipe here, which shows how little length a strong single idea needs.

A handwritten essay in Einstein's hand, from four linesGPT Image 2.5

A handwritten essay in Einstein's hand, from four lines

A photo of a pencil-written essay on lined paper, asked for as a phone snapshot rather than as a document scan.

  • Prompt only
  • Handwriting
  • Phone-photo realism
  • Four sentences
Prompt294 characters

Why it works

  • "Taken by phone photo" does the work a list of camera settings would: it sets the angle, the lighting and the slight imperfection all at once.
  • The handwriting is specified twice — whose, and that it should vary "in a very einstein way" — which is what stops the model rendering a uniform font.
  • The coffee stain is placed ("top right corner"), not just mentioned. Every physical detail in this prompt has a position.
Two women at a Mediterranean archway, shot on a Y2K digicamGPT Image 2.5

Two women at a Mediterranean archway, shot on a Y2K digicam

A single long paragraph that places two figures at different depths and then spends its second half on one specific camera and its flaws.

  • Prompt only
  • Two subjects
  • Direct flash
  • Y2K digicam
Prompt1,621 characters
Two women framed by a sun-bleached stone archway — one in the near foreground at frame right, a woman with long straight golden-brown hair loosely pulled back with soft face-framing pieces, warm honey-blonde balayage catching the light, an oval face with warm brown eyes, softly tanned olive-warm skin and full lips, small stud earrings, wearing a rust-terracotta linen wrap top and matching wide-leg linen trousers cinched with a woven raffia belt, hands clasped in front of her, turned back over her shoulder toward camera; a second woman, features unspecified, stands further back in the courtyard in a deep forest-green silk blouse and wide-leg cream trousers, leaning against a whitewashed stone pillar, gazing out toward the sea. Setting: the threshold of a Mediterranean cliffside courtyard, hand-laid terracotta mosaic floor and a weathered stone archway thick with trailing bougainvillea in the foreground, a sun-drenched courtyard beyond with wrought-iron lanterns, potted olive trees and a low stone fountain, whitewashed rooftops and a pale hazy sea filling the horizon, soft late-afternoon light. Shot on an early-2000s point-and-shoot digicam with harsh direct on-camera fill flash that aggressively illuminates the near woman and the archway, flattening her features and putting sharp specular highlights on the linen, the stone and her shoulders; the courtyard and sea beyond stay visible but hazy, milky and underexposed relative to the flash. Warm, slightly saturated CCD tones, strong bloom and halation at the archway edges, minor digital noise. Candid amateur, Y2K editorial, unpolished but stylized.

Why it works

  • Each woman is given a position in frame and a relationship to the camera — near foreground at frame right, turned back over her shoulder; further back, gazing out to sea — so depth is decided by the writer.
  • The camera is a character here: an early-2000s point-and-shoot with harsh on-camera fill flash, and the prompt says exactly what that flash does to the near subject and to everything behind her.
  • The look is named through defects rather than adjectives: CCD tones, bloom and halation at the archway edges, minor digital noise.
A 1980s portrait from a face you supplyGPT Image 2.5

by Saul Goodman4.7K viewsOriginal post

A 1980s portrait from a face you supply

An identity-preserving restyle written in four blocks: keep the face, change the era, shoot it on film, light it believably.

  • Needs a reference
  • Face reference
  • 35mm film
  • Editorial portrait

Needs A face reference photo

Prompt1,235 characters
Create an authentic 1980s retro-vintage portrait in a 4:5 vertical aspect ratio, using the provided person as the exact facial reference. Preserve their identity, facial structure, recognizable features, skin tone, and natural expression with high accuracy—do not alter or beautify the face.
Give the subject a classic 1980s hairstyle and stylish period-accurate fashion with bold silhouettes, authentic textures, and effortless vintage attitude. Compose the portrait naturally with a strong editorial feel, keeping the subject as the clear focal point.
Capture the image as if shot on a 35mm analog film camera, with realistic film grain, subtle dust and texture, gentle softness, natural skin detail, slight color fading, and authentic analog imperfections. Use warm nostalgic color grading, soft neon highlights, subtle ambient glow, and direct on-camera flash to create the distinctive look of an iconic 1980s photograph.
Keep the lighting cinematic yet believable, with soft shadows, realistic highlights, natural contrast, and a slightly imperfect film exposure. The final image should feel genuinely photographed in the 1980s—not digitally recreated, with a timeless, nostalgic, fashionable, and effortlessly cool atmosphere.

Why it works

  • "Do not alter or beautify the face" is stated in the same breath as the reference, which is the instruction most edits of this kind are missing.
  • The film look is broken into components a lab would recognise — grain, dust, slight fade, imperfect exposure — instead of being asked for as "vintage".
  • The last block pulls back toward plausibility: soft shadows, natural contrast, "cinematic yet believable". It reads as a correction the author added after the first attempts came back overcooked.
A candid night portrait beside a lit city wallGPT Image 2.5

A candid night portrait beside a lit city wall

A long descriptive prompt that keeps returning to the light: warm lanterns behind, gray-blue sky above, and skin that has to survive both.

  • Prompt only
  • Night portrait
  • Practical lighting
  • Candid pose
Prompt1,934 characters
A realistic candid travel photo of a young East Asian woman standing on an old stone walkway beside a historic city wall at night. Behind her is a beautiful traditional Chinese-style building glowing with warm golden lights and deep red accents, with layered roofs, curved upturned eaves, detailed wooden architecture, and softly illuminated windows. Tall red lanterns hang from an ornate black lamp post nearby, adding a warm glow to the scene.
She has long, straight dark brown hair falling naturally over her shoulders and back, with a few loose strands around her face. She has soft youthful features and a gentle, genuine smile as she looks naturally toward the camera. She is wearing an oversized dark charcoal-gray leather jacket with a relaxed, slightly loose fit, paired with wide-leg light-gray jeans. A small black shoulder bag hangs at her side with a cute little white plush charm attached to it.
She is casually leaning against the black metal railing, resting one arm comfortably on it while her body is turned slightly toward the camera. The pose should feel spontaneous and relaxed, like a friend captured the moment while she was enjoying an evening walk. The old dark brick wall stretches behind her, with warm lights highlighting parts of the stonework, while the paved walkway continues into the distance with a few people and subtle city lights.
The sky is a deep gray-blue with soft clouds, contrasting naturally with the warm golden architecture and glowing red lanterns. Keep everything believable and lived-in, with realistic skin texture, natural facial proportions, individual hair strands, authentic leather and denim textures, soft evening shadows, subtle reflections from the lights, and realistic depth of field. Shot with a modern smartphone camera, slightly imperfect and natural rather than overly polished, with soft cinematic tones and a subtle dreamy atmosphere. Wide horizontal 16:9 composition.

Why it works

  • The background is built before the subject, so the warm architectural light is established as the scene's key rather than added afterwards.
  • The pose is written as an accident — leaning on the railing, one arm resting, "like a friend captured the moment" — which is more useful direction than "candid" on its own.
  • It closes on the textures that break first at night: skin, individual hair strands, leather, denim, soft shadows and reflections.

A papercraft travel campaign with a working phone notificationGPT Image 2.5

A papercraft travel campaign with a working phone notification

A template with one placeholder for the destination, built as mixed physical materials and a UI card whose text is quoted exactly.

  • Prompt only
  • Reusable template
  • Mixed materials
  • Quoted UI text
Prompt2,501 characters
[LOCATION] =
Create a premium, scroll-stopping Instagram travel campaign for [LOCATION] in a 4:5 vertical portrait format.
A large modern smartphone stands vertically near the upper center, acting as the main visual anchor. A single elegant map-navigation notification card overlaps the upper-middle of the phone, integrated naturally with realistic depth, soft shadows, and subtle reflections.
The notification should feature a warm-white, lightly frosted rounded rectangle with a refined mobile UI aesthetic and perfectly legible typography:
[map icon] MAPS — now
You keep searching.
Come visit [LOCATION] instead.
Keep the notification within the upper 25–40% of the composition. It should feel physically connected to the phone and must not cover the miniature destination scene.
Below the smartphone, a folded papercraft map labeled “[LOCATION]” unfolds into a handcrafted miniature world. Include only 4–6 highly recognizable elements that naturally represent the destination—such as iconic architecture, landscapes, nature, food, culture, or atmosphere.
Visual Materials
- Phone & distant background: realistic photography
- Buildings & landmarks: handcrafted painted 3D clay
- Map, terrain, roads & water: layered hand-cut paper
- Vegetation & small details: miniature clay and paper
Make the physical materials clearly visible through paper fibers, cut edges, layered surfaces, subtle clay texture, tiny imperfections, and soft dimensional shadows.
Add one large location pin and a tiny backpacked traveler standing on the map, looking toward the miniature world. Keep the traveler small and secondary, like a hidden discovery detail.
Use only 2–3 subtle travel doodles, such as a paper airplane with a dotted path, a tiny heart, and a simple hand-drawn route arrow. Keep them thin, imperfect, and journal-like.
Visual Hierarchy
1. Notification
2. Miniature [LOCATION] world
3. Location pin
4. Tiny traveler
5. Folded map
Maintain generous negative space and avoid clutter, excessive landmarks, unnecessary text, icons, props, or competing focal points.
Use a refined 3–5 color palette inspired by [LOCATION], warm cinematic or golden-hour lighting, shallow depth of field, realistic miniature photography, tactile materials, and sophisticated editorial advertising composition.
The final image should feel like a world-class handcrafted travel campaign-instantly recognizable, destination-specific, clean, emotionally inviting, and rich with subtle details worth discovering.

Why it works

  • Materials are assigned per element — photographic phone, painted clay buildings, hand-cut paper terrain — so "handcrafted" becomes a set of instructions rather than a mood.
  • The notification copy is written out in full and given a position and a size limit ("upper 25–40% of the composition", must not cover the scene below).
  • It caps the number of landmarks at four to six and the doodles at two or three, which is why the result reads as designed rather than crowded.

  • Prompt only
  • Annotated callouts
  • Lookbook
  • Type hierarchy
Prompt1,353 characters
Create a clean fashion e-commerce lookbook poster featuring a young female model in a cute, simple autumn outfit.
Use a soft pastel pink, blue and lavender gradient background. Keep the overall design minimal, clean and slightly playful, like a modern Korean/Japanese fashion catalog.
Show the full-body model as the main focus, with realistic skin, natural proportions and clear clothing details. The outfit should be simple and wearable: cardigan or hoodie, fitted top, shorts or pleated skirt, socks and sneakers/Mary Jane shoes.
Add handwritten English annotations with thin arrows pointing to individual clothing pieces, such as “Cardigan”, “Polo Shirt”, “Shorts”, “Sneakers” and “Bag”.
Add a bold English fashion headline at the top: “AUTUMN DAILY OUTFIT”, plus a few small decorative English phrases such as “NEW SEASON 2026”, “SIMPLE · COMFY · BETTER ME” and “OUTFIT IDEAS FOR A BRIGHTER YOU”.
Use a structured rectangular frame around the main content, subtle rounded corners, plenty of negative space, and only a few minimal heart/star doodles.
The final image should feel like a polished fashion e-commerce campaign poster — minimal, youthful, realistic, highly readable typography, clean product presentation, not cluttered, with the outfit as the visual focus.
Vertical 3:4 composition, high-resolution commercial fashion photography.

Why it works

  • The labels are quoted individually — "Cardigan", "Polo Shirt", "Shorts" — and attached to arrows, so the callouts land on the right garment instead of floating.
  • The headline and the small decorative phrases are given separately, which keeps the type hierarchy from collapsing into one size.
  • The outfit is asked for as wearable and simple, and the frame, rounded corners and doodle count are all capped, which is what keeps a busy layout readable.

Why it works

  • Every block is a heading with values under it, which is why the layout comes back predictable: position, colour and weight are stated per element rather than described.
  • The background is given real numbers — a gradient direction, 2-3% grain, overlays at 3% opacity — and so is the ghosted "GT3 RS" at 3-5%.
  • The typography block quotes each string separately and gives the primary one its treatment, so the model is not left to invent a wordmark.

An extreme close-up that argues against flawless skin

A portrait prompt whose whole method is refusing retouching: freckles, pores, peach fuzz and two healed scars, written out one by one.

  • Prompt only
  • Extreme close-up
  • Skin texture
  • No retouching
Prompt2,991 characters
Create an irresistibly captivating, ultra-realistic close-up portrait of a naturally beautiful young woman designed to create an instant “STOP SCROLLING” reaction.
The camera is extremely close to her face, capturing the mesmerizing warmth of her deep brown eyes as the undeniable focal point. Her eyes must look alive and intensely realistic, with intricate iris patterns, tiny natural veins, wetness along the waterline, crisp catchlights, and individual eyelashes sharply resolved.
Her beauty is raw, authentic and imperfect—visible freckles scattered naturally across her cheeks and nose, realistic pores, subtle peach fuzz, tiny beauty marks, natural skin texture and delicate variations in tone. Do NOT make her skin artificially flawless. Above one eyebrow is a thin, naturally healed scar, while a subtle healed scar curves along her cheek, giving the portrait a mysterious, unforgettable character.
Her long, glossy black hair falls naturally around her face, with a few delicate strands crossing her forehead and cheek. Her eyebrows are full, naturally shaped and individually detailed. Soft, naturally pink lips remain slightly relaxed, creating an effortless expression that feels candid rather than posed.
THE VIRAL HOOK: Capture the exact split-second where she looks directly into the camera as if she has noticed the viewer. Her expression is calm, mysterious and emotionally magnetic—subtle vulnerability mixed with quiet confidence. The viewer should feel like they accidentally captured a private, once-in-a-lifetime moment.
Lighting is soft cinematic daylight entering from one side, producing luminous highlights across her eyes, cheekbones and skin while maintaining realistic shadows. Add an extremely subtle atmospheric glow around the edges without making the image dreamy or artificial.
Composition: extreme facial close-up, eyes positioned near the visual center, face filling almost the entire frame, slightly unconventional tilted camera angle, intimate perspective, natural asymmetry, realistic facial proportions.
Camera realism: full-frame professional camera, 85mm portrait lens, f/1.4, razor-sharp focus on both eyes, extremely shallow depth of field, natural optical bokeh, realistic lens rendering, subtle filmic micro-contrast.
Visual quality: hyper-photorealistic, cinematic editorial photography, 8K-level detail, HDR, physically accurate skin, realistic reflections, lifelike eyes, natural color grading, premium fashion-magazine aesthetic, authentic human imperfections, breathtaking micro-details.
ABSOLUTELY AVOID: plastic skin, excessive retouching, doll-like face, CGI appearance, uncanny eyes, exaggerated makeup, fake freckles, over-saturated colors, excessive HDR, artificial skin smoothing, distorted facial anatomy, extra eyelashes, asymmetrical eyes, blurry eyes, watermark, text, logo.
Overall feeling: beautiful enough to stop the scroll, realistic enough to feel like a photograph, mysterious enough to make people stare twice.

Why it works

  • The eye is treated as the subject and specified at a level most prompts never reach — iris pattern, tiny veins, wetness on the waterline, catchlights, individually resolved lashes.
  • "Do NOT make her skin artificially flawless" is the load-bearing line, and the imperfections that follow are named individually so the model has something to render instead of nothing to remove.
  • The framing is engagement-first — it asks in so many words for a "STOP SCROLLING" reaction and calls one paragraph THE VIRAL HOOK — so the useful part is the skin and eye detail, not the pitch around it.
Two landscapes merged into one animated 16-frame loopGPT Image 2.5

Two landscapes merged into one animated 16-frame loop

A composite of two reference photographs into a single place, then sixteen frames of environmental motion that have to close back on frame one.

  • Needs a reference
  • Two references
  • 16-frame loop
  • Fixed camera

Needs Two landscape reference images

Prompt2,716 characters
Turn the two reference images into one breathtaking, ultra-realistic cinematic travel landscape with a seamless sunset animation loop.
SCENE
Combine the key elements from both images into one natural-looking destination. Include the grand Ottoman-style mosque with multiple minarets and domes, Istanbul-style waterfront and boats from the first image, together with the peaceful alpine lake, colorful European village, dramatic snow-capped mountains and beautiful hilltop stone castle from the second image.
Create a wide scenic waterfront view with historic architecture on one side and the castle and mountains on the other. Add colorful flowers, green trees, Mediterranean plants, a vintage lantern and an elegant terrace with a small café table in the foreground.
SUNSET & LIGHTING
Beautiful golden-hour sunset with pastel blue, pink, peach and orange clouds. Warm sunlight illuminates the mosque, castle, village, mountains and boats. The lake reflects the sunset, buildings and mountains with realistic gentle ripples and golden reflections.
ANIMATION
Create 16 consecutive frames of a smooth seamless loop. Animate only subtle environmental movement: slowly drifting clouds, gentle water ripples, boats moving slightly, birds flying in the distance, flowers and tree leaves softly moving in the breeze, and subtle candle/lantern flickering.
Keep the camera completely fixed. Keep the mosque, castle, mountains, houses and all major objects perfectly consistent across every frame. Frame 16 must smoothly transition back into Frame 1.
STYLE
Ultra-realistic cinematic travel photography, luxury tourism advertisement, breathtaking golden-hour atmosphere, realistic architecture, detailed mountains, natural vegetation, beautiful water reflections, atmospheric depth, high dynamic range, rich but natural colors, professional photography, photorealistic 8K quality.
CAMERA
Wide cinematic landscape view, 24mm lens, stable locked camera, natural perspective, realistic depth of field, consistent framing and lighting across all frames.
ANIMATION SETTINGS
16 frames, approximately 2.2-second complete loop, smooth continuous GIF animation, no camera movement, no flickering.
NEGATIVE PROMPT
cartoon, anime, painting, CGI, 3D render, low quality, distorted buildings, warped mosque, crooked minarets, malformed castle, distorted mountains, duplicated boats, floating objects, unrealistic reflections, fake water, excessive fog, oversaturated colors, extreme HDR, blurry image, motion blur, camera shake, zoom, flickering, morphing buildings, changing architecture, disappearing objects, duplicated birds, unnatural clouds, image seams, visible collage, text, logo, watermark, border, black bars, artifacts.

Why it works

  • The merge is itemised: which elements come from the first image, which from the second, and where each sits in the final composition.
  • Motion is restricted to a named list — drifting clouds, water ripples, boats, distant birds, leaves, a flickering lantern — and the camera is held fixed, which is what keeps a loop from drifting.
  • "Frame 16 must smoothly transition back into Frame 1", plus a demand that the architecture stay identical across every frame, is the whole seam.

Surround it with a few subtle elements that represent its location—such as tiny trees, flowers, streets, boats, mountains, clouds, or local objects—without making the scene crowded.
Place everything on a clean warm-white textured paper background, with plenty of elegant negative space. Add a small tasteful wooden or paper travel plaque containing:
[STRUCTURE NAME]
[CITY, COUNTRY]
Famous for: [SHORT UNIQUE FACT]
Use soft natural lighting, gentle shadows, pastel yet realistic colors, miniature diorama depth, handcrafted clay/paper textures, and a premium cute travel-journal aesthetic. Centered composition, highly detailed landmark, adorable but sophisticated, clean and collectible travel-card design, no photorealistic people, no clutter.

Why it works

  • It says what to leave out as clearly as what to include: a few surrounding elements "without making the scene crowded", plenty of negative space, "no clutter".
  • The handmade quality is specified as physical properties — soft rounded details, delicate imperfections, clay and paper texture — rather than as the word "handcrafted".
  • The plaque has a fixed three-line structure, so the caption is part of the design rather than an afterthought.

A split-screen character bible from two reference sheets

A poster laid out region by region — left half, centre divider, right half, bottom palette — with every piece of text quoted.

  • Needs a reference
  • Split screen
  • Two references
  • Quoted typography

Needs Two character reference sheets

Prompt1,721 characters
“Create a premium cinematic character bible sheet for ALAN & T-REX. Use uploaded character sheets as strict visual reference for both characters. Do not change either's appearance.
LAYOUT: Split screen partner format. Two halves divided by a bold dramatic dividing element in the center.
LEFT SIDE — ALAN: Red watercolor splash behind him fading into center. Large bold brushstroke text ALAN top left in deep red. Below small text: PALEONTOLOGIST / ISLA NUBLAR. One massive dramatic cropped hero image of Alan from mid-thigh up — full sprint stance, light blue denim shirt, bold red bandana catching the light, wide eyes locked forward in pure survival mode, red watercolor splash radiating behind him.
CENTER: Bold dramatic JURASSIC PARK in deep olive green, slightly worn. Below it small text: ISLA NUBLAR. RUN. OR BE EATEN.
RIGHT SIDE — T-REX: Green watercolor splash behind him fading into center. Large bold brushstroke text T-REX top right in deep olive green. Below small text: PREDATOR / APEX. One massive dramatic cropped hero image of the T-Rex from mid-body up — jaw wide open, rows of teeth visible, fierce amber eye locked toward the center, dark olive green watercolor splash radiating behind him.
BOTTOM CENTER: Color palette — light blue, bold red, tan khaki, dark olive green, amber, deep black. Tagline centered: LIFE FINDS A WAY.
OVERALL: Clean white background, bold red watercolor left side, green watercolor right side, dramatic deep red center divider, bold flat color blocking, chunky simplified forms, hard edge shadows, thick black outlines, vibrant saturated colors, minimal clean typography, cinematic cel-shaded 3D anime, hand-painted textures, not cartoon not Disney not Pixar, print ready.”

Why it works

  • Layout is dictated as named regions, and each region gets its own colour, its own text and its own crop, so nothing is left to composition luck.
  • Both characters are pinned to uploaded sheets with "do not change either's appearance", which is what keeps a two-subject poster from drifting.
  • Every string that appears in the image is written out, down to the small type under each name.

Editing & Restyle2

Prompts that start from an image you supply. They tell the model what to change and, more importantly, what to leave alone.

A phone held across the face, showing the face behind it

An identity-preserving portrait built on one trick: the subject hides behind a phone whose screen shows the same face, live.

  • Needs a reference
  • Frame within frame
  • Identity lock
  • Phone portrait

Needs A face reference photo

Prompt2,133 characters
Ultra-realistic iPhone creative portrait, identity preserved exactly from reference image. Young woman standing indoors in front of a glass storefront or reflective wall, photographed from a slightly high front angle. She holds a smartphone horizontally directly in front of her face, covering her eyes and upper face in real life. The phone screen faces the camera and clearly shows a live camera/photo view of her face. Composition: The real woman is visible behind the phone, but her face is mostly hidden by the horizontal phone. On the phone screen, her face appears clearly centered, smiling softly and winking. The phone acts like a frame within the frame. Her hand grips the top edge of the phone, fingers visible across the top. Pose: One hand holds the phone horizontally across her face. Her other hand is lower near her waist making a peace sign or casual gesture. She stands relaxed, facing camera. Outfit: White fitted zip-front sleeveless top, loose light-wash baggy jeans, brown belt, playful accessories, rings, bracelet, red-and-white shoulder bag, small plush/keychain accessories hanging from bag or belt. Phone screen details: The phone screen shows a clean live-camera image of her face with a wink and soft smile. Add cute sticker-style doodles around the screen/photo area: small colorful sparkles, stars, flower sticker near the face. The stickers should look like playful phone-camera decoration, not random floating objects. Environment: Indoor mall/storefront area with glass doors, reflections, polished floor, soft daylight mixed with indoor light, casual streetwear snapshot vibe. Camera + lighting: 0.5x iPhone wide-angle photo, close candid framing, realistic reflections on glass and phone screen, slight distortion on hands, raw social-media feel. Important: Match the phone-covering-face composition, horizontal phone screen showing her face, wink expression on screen, hand gripping phone, playful stickers, white zip top, baggy jeans, accessories, and indoor glass background closely. Natural skin texture, realistic screen reflections, no beauty filter, no smoothing. 4K vertical 9:16.

Why it works

  • The conceit needs the model to hold two versions of one face at once, so the prompt states the relationship explicitly — hidden in life, clearly centred on the screen, "a frame within the frame".
  • The hand is placed on the phone edge with fingers visible across the top, which is the detail that stops the phone floating.
  • Wardrobe and props are listed to the level of the charms hanging off the bag, so the picture reads as a real outfit rather than a generic one.
Eight enamel pins built around one portraitGPT Image 2.5

Eight enamel pins built around one portrait

A product-photography prompt with a fixed count: exactly eight pins, one of them a likeness taken from a reference image.

  • Needs a reference
  • Product render
  • Exact count
  • Portrait reference

Needs A portrait reference image

Prompt1,416 characters
Create a hyper-realistic enamel pin collection in a vertical 4:5 composition on a dark textured background. Design exactly 8 separate premium pins with polished gold-metal outlines, glossy hard-enamel surfaces, subtle raised edges, realistic reflections, and soft shadows. The main medium-sized center pin is a portrait of [CHARACTER], preserving the reference image’s recognizable face, hairstyle, skin tone, expression, clothing, and key features while translating them into a detailed premium enamel illustration. Add 1 small name pin reading “[NAME]” and 1 small personality-word pin reading “[WORD]”. The remaining 5 pins should represent [CHARACTER]’s interests and lifestyle, such as creative work, AI/technology, visual creation, photography, travel, friendship, hobbies, or everyday objects, using clever symbolic illustrations rather than excessive text. Arrange everything organically around the portrait with varied pin shapes and sizes, generous spacing, and no rigid grid. Use bold, flat, bright colors with sophisticated contrast, crisp details, realistic metallic depth, and high-end commercial product lighting. Make it feel like a limited-edition designer pin set photographed in a studio—modern, vibrant, personal, collectible, and instantly eye-catching. No city names or specific landmarks, no duplicated pins, no clutter, no random text, no misspellings, no cheap cartoon or plastic appearance.

Why it works

  • The count is exact and the roles are assigned — one portrait, one name, one word, five symbolic — so the arrangement is decided before the model starts inventing.
  • The material is described the way a manufacturer would: gold metal outlines, hard enamel, raised edges, real reflections.
  • "Arrange organically … no rigid grid" plus varied shapes is what separates this from a contact sheet.
How to prompt

How to write a GPT Image 2.5 prompt

The prompts above disagree on subject and agree on structure. This is that structure as a template you can copy, block by block.

Template782 characters
[FORMAT] 3:2 landscape, photographic, shot on a 50mm lens at f/2. Not an illustration, not a render.
[SUBJECT] A woman in her early thirties, short dark hair, a grey wool coat with the collar turned up. Hands in pockets, weight on her back foot, looking off to the left of frame.
[SCENE] A narrow city street at dusk, wet pavement, shopfronts out of focus behind her. Key light from a shop window camera-left, cool blue fill from the sky, no direct sun.
[TEXT] The shop sign reads exactly "NORTHERN COFFEE" in condensed uppercase sans-serif, white on dark green, top third of the frame. No other lettering anywhere in the image.
[KEEP] Keep the coat grey and the hair short. No watermark, no signature, no extra people in frame, no lens flare, no text other than the sign above.
  1. 01

    Say what kind of picture it is, first

    Medium, ratio and lens before anything about the subject. A prompt that opens with the subject gets the model's default look; a prompt that opens with the format gets yours.

  2. 02

    Describe the subject by what a camera would see

    Age, clothing, posture and gaze read as instructions. Adjectives like beautiful or stunning do not — they are the first thing to cut when a prompt is too long.

  3. 03

    Place it, and say where the light comes from

    Where the light comes from does more for realism than any quality word. The prompts on this page that pass as photographs all name a direction and a colour for it.

  4. 04

    Quote any text exactly, and say where it sits

    Text rendering is what GPT Image 2.5 is good at, and it is also the one thing a paraphrase ruins. Put the string in quotes, give it a position and a typeface, and ban text everywhere else.

  5. 05

    End with what must not change

    A short ban list at the end catches the model's habits: stray watermarks, invented signage, a second person appearing at the edge. It is the most-used block in this library after the subject.

  6. 06

    When you supply a reference, give it one job

    Editing prompts fail when the model has to guess what is being kept. Say which image is the reference and what it controls — "image 1 is the product, its label text and proportions unchanged" — then describe only what should be different.

Fix weak generations

Change the instruction that failed

Rerolling the same prompt gives you the same failure with a different seed. Change one line.

The text came out misspelled
Put the exact string in quotes, say it is the only text in the image, and give it a position. A paraphrased sign gets a paraphrased spelling.
It looks like a render, not a photo
Name a lens and an aperture, and say where the light comes from. Drop the words photorealistic and 8K — they push toward the render look, not away from it.
The edit changed things you wanted kept
State what the reference controls before describing the change, and list the traits that must stay identical.
A watermark or signature appeared
Ban it explicitly in the last line. The model picked the habit up from the style you asked for, so the style block will not fix it.
The layout ignored what you asked for
Describe position in frame — top third, camera-left, filling the lower half — rather than in relative terms like behind or next to.
Only one detail is wrong
Change that clause and rerun. Keep the rest of the prompt word for word; rewriting the whole thing changes everything at once.
FAQ

GPT Image 2.5 prompt questions

What people ask before they copy their first prompt.

What makes a good GPT Image 2.5 prompt?

It separates format, subject, scene, text and constraints instead of stacking adjectives. Read any prompt above: the ones that hold up name a lens and a light direction, quote any text exactly, and end with a short list of what must not change.

What is the difference between Sunburst and Flare?

They are OpenAI's two named GPT Image 2.5 checkpoints. Sunburst is the precision-tuned one and Flare is the fast everyday one. Both are on the generator above, and a prompt written for one runs on the other — the filter chips let you see which checkpoint each post used.

Where do these prompts come from?

From awesome-gpt-image-prompts, an open GitHub corpus that collects GPT Image 2.5 images posted on X and Reddit together with the prompt the author published, credits every source account and links the original post. This page reads that corpus every few hours. Prompts are shown verbatim; the summaries and the notes under "Why it works" are ours.

How do I use a prompt on Seadanse?

Copy it, or press Use to open the generator with the prompt already in the box. Upload any reference image the prompt names, choose Sunburst or Flare, pick a ratio and a resolution, then generate.

How long should a GPT Image 2.5 prompt be?

Shorter than a video prompt. Most of what works here runs between one and six sentences. Length past that helps only when it adds constraints — an exact string to render, a layout, a list of what must not change — and hurts when it adds adjectives.

Can I use these prompts commercially?

The prompts are their authors' own words, published publicly, and this page credits and links every one of them. What you generate from a prompt is subject to the terms of whichever service you generate it on. Nothing here grants rights to the posted images themselves.

How often does this page change?

Weekly. A sweep of X and Reddit runs every Monday, new posts are screened against a published bar, and the ones that pass are added upstream and here. The engagement numbers on X refresh with the corpus; Reddit's are from the last sweep, because Reddit does not answer automated requests.

SourceCorpus: awesome-gpt-image-prompts on GitHub (MIT). Every image is credited to its author and links to the original post; engagement numbers are as of the corpus' last refresh. Prompts are the authors' own words. Browse the repository
