The Prompt

zoom-out-and-extend-the-scene.md

Zoom out.

Expand the canvas around the original photo so more of the environment is visible. Match lighting, perspective, and textures at the edges.

Keep the original subject the same size relative to themselves - you are revealing more surroundings, not shrinking their identity. Do not add new main characters.

How much: {{how_much}}
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.

Negative prompt

Included when you copy the prompt

Do not change the original subject. Do not invent a new story or extra people in the foreground.

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.

When to use this prompt

Use it when

  • You need help with tight phone crops.
  • You need help with interiors.
  • You need help with product in context.

Skip it when

  • You only need a one-line ask with no constraints, format, or context.
  • You cannot supply the fill-in details the template asks for.
  • You want a modern digital look or heavy filter effect instead of the era/style this prompt targets.

How to get a good result

Done when

The original person unchanged, with a plausible wider kitchen around them.

Common mistakes

  • Leaving how_much vague - the model then invents placeholders.
  • Asking Meta AI, ChatGPT, Gemini, or Flux for a shorter answer after a long structured prompt - that throws away the format rules.
  • Stopping when the first draft appears instead of checking it against the success criteria below.
