The guide
AI image prompts are the text you type to make a model generate a picture. Every good one answers five questions: what is the subject, what style, what light, how is it framed, and what medium should it look like. Answer those in one or two sentences and almost any tool, Gemini, ChatGPT, or Midjourney, will give you something usable on the first try.
This page gives you the formula once, then ready-made prompts you can copy and bend to your own idea.
A one-line template to keep: subject + style + light + framing + medium. 'A street food vendor at night, photorealistic, lit by his own stall's warm bulbs, close-up, shot on 35mm film.'
| Type | Paste this |
|---|---|
| Portrait | 'Close-up portrait of a young woman in a mustard-yellow sweater, soft window light from the left, shallow depth of field, shot on 85mm lens, natural skin texture.' |
| Cinematic scene | 'A lone cyclist crossing an empty bridge at dawn, thick fog, cold blue light with one warm streetlamp, wide shot, film still look.' |
| Product shot | 'A glass perfume bottle on wet black stone, single hard spotlight, dark background, macro detail, high-end studio photograph.' |
| Fantasy art | 'A floating library above the clouds at sunset, golden light through the shelves, wide angle, detailed digital painting.' |
| Minimal wallpaper | 'A single green leaf on an off-white background, soft even light, centered, lots of negative space, minimalist photograph.' |
| Food | 'A bowl of steaming ramen on a worn wooden counter, warm side light, steam visible, overhead angle, editorial food photography.' |
If you are starting from a photo of yourself rather than a blank canvas, the formula changes: the keep line becomes the most important part. That is a different craft, covered on our photo editing prompt page, with tool-specific versions for Gemini and ChatGPT.
Image models sample from probabilities, so two runs of one prompt never match exactly. That is a feature. Run a good prompt three or four times, pick the best, and refine from there. If results vary too wildly, your prompt is under-specified: add a framing or light instruction, and the spread tightens.
Gemini follows plain-English prompts closely and is strong with faces from uploaded photos. ChatGPT is best when you want to iterate conversationally. Midjourney leans beautiful-but-liberal: it will improve on your idea whether you asked or not, which is great for art and risky for accuracy. The formula above works in all three; only the dial settings differ.
Questions
It is the text instruction an image model turns into a picture. A reliable prompt names the subject, style, lighting, framing, and medium in one or two sentences. The clearer those five parts are, the closer the first result lands to what you imagined.
Specifics. 'A fisherman mending a net at dawn, photorealistic, warm low sun, close-up, 35mm film look' will beat a paragraph of vague adjectives. Pick one subject, one style, one light source, and say how it is framed. Leave out filler words like 'masterpiece' and '8k'.
Yes. All three read natural-language prompts, so the five-part structure carries over directly. Midjourney users often append settings like aspect ratio flags, but the words themselves stay the same.
Generation is probabilistic by design, so each run samples a new variation. Run the prompt several times and pick the best result. If the variation is too wide, the prompt needs more constraints, usually framing or lighting.
Every prompt on this page is free to copy and use, commercially or personally. The tools themselves have free tiers with daily limits; heavy use may need a paid plan.
