Do not add a filter colour cast. Do not crush shadows to black or blow out highlights.

Do not change face identity, pose, clothing, crop, or logos unless this prompt asks otherwise. Do not over-smooth skin, add extra fingers, invent text, or restyle unrelated regions.

How to use this AI photo prompt

  1. Upload a clear reference photo of your face (well-lit, front-facing works best).
  2. Fill any placeholders on this page, then tap Copy Prompt.
  3. Paste into Meta AI (also works with ChatGPT, Gemini) and generate.
  4. Keep your face locked - only wardrobe, pose, and scene should change.

Privacy: If you attach a face reference, do it in the AI tool. Codextroop Prompt Library never receives or stores your photos.

Works best with Meta AI / ChatGPT / Gemini

Identity-preserving image-to-image prompts need a strong face reference. Avoid heavy beauty filters on the upload and use the negative prompt when your tool supports it.

Tips for better image editing results

  • Match the example aspect ratio when your tool allows it (often 4:5 for portraits).
  • If the face drifts, re-upload a sharper photo and keep the same prompt text.
  • Copy related image editing prompts below to try alternate looks with the same identity lock.

Common mistakes

  • Pasting without replacing {{placeholders}} or bracketed blanks.
  • Asking Meta AI, ChatGPT, Gemini, or Flux for a shorter answer after a long structured prompt - that throws away the format rules.
