Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you copy this prompt
Can I use this prompt with a reference photo to preserve someone's face?+
Yes. Add identity-preservation instructions like "preserve exact facial features from the uploaded reference photo" at the beginning of the prompt. This works best with clear, front-facing reference images.
Why does the text in the generated image look wrong or misspelled?+
AI image generators struggle with text rendering. Keep text to 1-3 words maximum, use simple fonts, and add "clean sharp text, no placeholder characters" to improve accuracy. For perfect text, consider adding it in post-processing.
What aspect ratio works best for this composition?+
4:5 is recommended for Instagram feeds and portrait-style layouts. Use 1:1 for profile pictures or square-format social posts. 9:16 works for Stories and Reels covers, but may crop important composition elements.
The background looks too bright or washed out. How do I fix it?+
Add "retain background detail and texture, avoid blown-out highlights in the sky and bright areas" to the prompt. You can also specify "balanced exposure between subject and background" to prevent the golden-hour light from overexposing the scene.
