No prompts match that search. Try another word.

Director and DOP tip The photo you upload matters more than the prompt. Use a sharp, well lit photo with the face clearly visible and not too small in the frame. Soft daylight from a window beats harsh overhead light every time. If the AI changes your face, start again from the original photo instead of editing an edited image, because small changes stack up with every pass.

FAQ

What are AI photo editing prompts?

They are written instructions you paste into an AI app such as Gemini or ChatGPT along with your own photo. The AI follows the prompt to relight, restyle or enhance the image, while the prompt tells it what to keep the same.

Are these AI prompts free to use?

Yes. Every prompt on this page is free to copy, use and share for personal and commercial content. A credit or tag to @akash_rao_films is appreciated but not required.

Which app should I use for these prompts?

For photo prompts, use an AI app that edits uploaded images, such as Gemini or ChatGPT. For photo to video prompts, use an app that animates photos, such as Gemini or Kling. For video restyle prompts, use a video editing AI such as Runway or Kling. Features and limits change often, so check the app before you start.

How do I stop the AI from changing my face?

Every people prompt here includes a line telling the AI to keep the face, features and expression the same. Use a clear, well lit, front facing photo, and if the face still drifts, regenerate or add "do not change the face" at the start of the prompt.

What do the [brackets] mean?

Anything in square brackets is a placeholder. Replace it with your own detail, like a color, location, outfit or aspect ratio, before you generate.

Is it safe to upload my photos to AI apps?

Read the privacy settings of the app you use. Avoid uploading photos of other people without their permission, and never use these prompts to create misleading images of real people.

Want a film that looks premium for real?

I direct AI and live action ad films, music videos and explainers end to end. Packages start from $200.
