Quickstart guide & FAQ
Seven steps from blank page to model-ready portrait prompt. Takes about two minutes once you've done it once.
The dropdown at the top of panel 1 sets the wording style of your prompt — ChatGPT, Meta AI, Nano Banana, Gemini, Midjourney (experimental), or Generic. It never changes your creative choices, only how the prompt talks to the model.
Choose an aspect ratio (1:1, 16:9, 9:16), tap an artistic style pill (Photorealistic is the classic portrait look), and leave High Resolution on unless you want a lighter touch.
Flip on Use Reference Image(s) and attach a photo in your image AI — a casual cell pic becomes a pro session; the tool never sees or uploads your photo. Add Strict Feature Lock to preserve the person's recognizable identity with flattering, credible anatomy. Making someone new? Pick the person, heritage, and headcount from the ingredient lists instead.
New here? Hit ✦ Surprise Me first for a fresh combination — see what the tool can do, then tweak any choice. Or pick one of 13 sessions (corporate headshot, LinkedIn, glamour, golden hour, wedding, photo rescue, …) and the focus, wardrobe, lighting, and details refine themselves around it. Your custom text, target AI, and toggles are never overwritten.
The Special instructions box at the bottom of panel 1 is yours — "she is laughing mid-sentence, hair down, wearing her grandmother's necklace." An untouched ingredient adds nothing; check Random — let the AI decide explicitly when you want the image AI to decide.
Corporate headshot, LinkedIn, and executive sessions automatically frame head-and-shoulders with the face as the focal point — and yes, you still choose the clothing.
Copy Prompt grabs the model-ready text; Copy Title + Prompt adds the creative title on top. Paste into your image AI (and attach any reference photo there). The title is yours for browsing and sharing — it's never printed on the image.
The prompt always carries your ratio choice — 16:9 is the default, and switching to Square or Portrait updates the wording. But the ratio is a request in the prompt text, not a command: your image AI's own size setting has the final word, and some models ignore prompt-text ratios entirely. For a guaranteed ratio, also set the size/aspect control inside your image AI to match.
No. It's a prompt generator — it writes copyable plain text you paste into your own image AI. No images are uploaded, processed, or generated here.
No. The reference toggle only inserts wording instructing the receiving AI to use the photo you attach over there. Nothing leaves your browser except the prompt text itself.
Attach a casual snapshot in your image AI with the Photo rescue session: the prompt tells the AI to keep the person unmistakably themselves — same face, flattering pose — while re-shooting everything else like a pro session: better light, cleaner background, refined wardrobe. Wall-worthy, not over-processed.
Identity and anatomy — the attached person's recognizable face and defining features, with natural, flattering bodies. It does not freeze the pose, outfit, or expression; a natural professional pose is preferred over copying an awkward source pose.
Yes — the "How many people" picker covers solo, couple, family, and small group, with posing guidance written for each. Prom, wedding, and family sessions are built for it. Pick "No people — setting only" for the scene without anyone in it.
The "Heritage / background" ingredient covers Black, East Asian, South Asian, Latina/Latino/Hispanic, Middle Eastern/North African, White/European, mixed heritage, and Native/Indigenous — rendered authentically and respectfully, never caricatured. Check more than one, or leave it blank, or let the AI decide.
No. Glamour here means classic Hollywood: confident, elegant, fully clothed, adults 21 and over. Alluring, never explicit — and worded so generations don't get refused.
Blank means the ingredient is skipped entirely. Random is a deliberate instruction telling the image AI to choose that ingredient itself.
Never. It re-rolls the session, headcount, and ingredient checkboxes, but your description, exact text, target AI, aspect ratio, style, and toggles are preserved.
Midjourney interprets structured prompts, reference details, lettering, and aspect-ratio directions differently from the chat-style image AIs. The wording is a starting point — expect to adjust parameters inside Midjourney.
Yes, but expect more scrolling. Best experienced on desktop or tablet.
The tool's fine — your image AI is repeating itself. When you generate several images in the same chat, the model starts copying its own earlier work. Open a fresh chat window, or try the prompt in a different image AI, and you'll get fresh results.
Your image AI stopped reading. After several images in the same chat, the model can latch onto a picture it made earlier and keep re-rendering that scene — even when your new prompt describes something completely different. Open a fresh chat, paste the same prompt, and you'll get the image you actually asked for.
