ChatGPT has become one of the most popular ways to turn an ordinary selfie into a festive portrait, a winter photo or a film-style still. The hard part is writing a prompt that keeps your face the same. This page collects every ChatGPT image prompt we have published, ready to copy. Each one asks ChatGPT to keep your face exactly as it is and only change the outfit, setting and light.

Tap the ChatGPT button under any prompt and ChatGPT opens with the prompt already typed in. New prompts appear on this page automatically as soon as we publish them.

Tips for better ChatGPT images

Keeping your face the same

Say it clearly

Every prompt here ends with an instruction to keep your face, features and skin tone unchanged. Keep that line when you edit a prompt.

Use a sharp, front-facing photo

Blurry, dark or side-on photos give ChatGPT less to work with, so the face is more likely to change.

Getting the details right

Change one thing at a time

Short follow-up messages, such as “warmer light” or “remove the second person”, work better than rewriting the whole prompt.

Ask for the shape you need

Add “portrait 4:5” for Instagram or “vertical 9:16” for stories and status updates.
