How to edit your photo with ChatGPT using a prompt
Turn a selfie into a Ghibli, figurine or studio-portrait picture in ChatGPT. What to upload, what to paste and how to fix bad results.
ChatGPT can make a new picture from your photo when you upload it with a detailed prompt. It's strongest at art styles (anime, Ghibli-like, 3D cartoon, oil painting) and posters with text.
Steps
- Open the ChatGPT app and start a new chat.
- Tap the + or paperclip and attach your photo.
- Paste the prompt from PromptLens and send.
- Wait for the image (it can take up to a minute), then long-press to save it.
When to use ChatGPT vs Gemini
| Look you want | Better in |
|---|---|
| Realistic saree, wedding, festival and travel photos that keep your face | Gemini |
| Anime, Ghibli-like, cartoon, caricature, sticker | ChatGPT |
| Posters and pictures with readable text | ChatGPT |
| Fast, many tries for free | Gemini |
Fixing common problems
- Face looks different: reply "use my exact face from the photo, same features and skin tone".
- Wrong crop: add "aspect ratio 4:5" or "9:16" to the prompt.
- Refused: photos of other people need their consent, and celebrity look-alike edits are often blocked. Use your own photo.
