Prompt Saar, Pix and Prompt and Roy Edit Style Prompts

Prompt Saar, Pix and Prompt and Roy Edit are well-known names for shared Gemini and ChatGPT photo-edit prompt collections. This page is an independent collection of 29 original prompts written in those trending styles, such as cinematic portraits, couple scenes, festival looks and retro film. It is not affiliated with any of them, and every prompt can be run here: copy it, or choose Try this prompt to load it into the editor above.

Cinematic portrait prompts

Turn a plain portrait into a still that looks lifted from a film: one light source, a clear mood and a shallow depth of field.

Neon street after rain

A night-time film still with teal and amber light on wet pavement.

Use my uploaded photo as the reference and keep my face, facial features, skin tone and hairstyle exactly the same. Restage me as a cinematic film still on a rain-soaked city street at night, standing under a glowing shop sign, with teal and amber light reflecting on the wet pavement. Use a shallow depth of field, soft film grain and a subtle lens flare, and give me a calm, serious expression. Keep my clothes unchanged. Do not add any text, logos or watermarks.

Works best with a waist-up or closer portrait.

Golden hour close-up

Warm backlight and a soft glow around the hair.

Use my uploaded photo as the reference and keep my face, facial features, skin tone and hairstyle exactly the same. Relight the photo as a close-up filmed in the last hour of daylight, with warm sun behind me creating a glowing rim of light around my hair and shoulders. The background is a softly blurred field of golden bokeh. Keep the natural skin texture, use gentle contrast and a faint film grain, and keep my clothes the same. Do not add any text, logos or watermarks.

Black-and-white film noir

High-contrast monochrome with light through window blinds.

Use my uploaded photo as the reference and keep my face, facial features, skin tone and hairstyle exactly the same. Convert the photo into a black-and-white film noir portrait. Hard side light falls through window blinds and casts thin stripes of shadow across my face and the wall behind me, with a little drifting smoke in the air. Deep blacks, bright highlights, crisp detail in the eyes and a classic 1940s mood. Keep my pose and clothes. Do not add any text, logos or watermarks.

Quiet drama by a rainy window

A muted, thoughtful scene in cool daylight.

Use my uploaded photo as the reference and keep my face, facial features, skin tone and hairstyle exactly the same. Place me beside a large window on a rainy afternoon, looking slightly off camera in thought. Raindrops run down the glass, the light is cool blue-grey and soft, and the room behind me is out of focus with a muted palette. The look is understated and cinematic, like a still from a quiet drama. Keep my clothes the same. Do not add any text, logos or watermarks.

Desert road at dusk

A wide, widescreen-feeling scene with a long shadow.

Use my uploaded photo as the reference and keep my face, facial features, skin tone and hairstyle exactly the same. Show me standing beside an empty desert road at dusk, seen in a wide shot with a lot of open sky. The sun is low, my shadow stretches long across the asphalt, and the sky fades from orange to deep blue. Anamorphic lens look with a slight horizontal flare and fine grain. Keep my clothes, and keep me clearly recognizable. Do not add any text, logos or watermarks.

Set the aspect ratio to 16:9 or 21:9 for a widescreen look.

Couple photo prompts

Prompts for photos of two people. Each one tells the model to keep both faces and how you stand together, then changes the setting and the light.

Sunset beach walk

A golden, windswept beach scene for two.

Use my uploaded photo of two people as the reference and keep both faces, facial features, skin tones, hairstyles and the way they stand together exactly the same. Place us on a wide beach at sunset, walking along the edge of the water with small waves washing in. Warm golden light comes from behind us, our hair moves gently in the breeze, and the sky glows orange and pink. Keep our outfits the same, with a natural, relaxed feel. Do not add any text, logos or watermarks.

Upload a photo where both faces are clearly visible.

City evening under one umbrella

A cosy rainy-night scene with warm shop lights.

Use my uploaded photo of two people as the reference and keep both faces, facial features, skin tones, hairstyles and the way they stand together exactly the same. Set us on a city street on a rainy evening, sharing one dark umbrella. Warm shop windows and street lamps glow in the background as soft bokeh, the pavement shines with reflections, and fine rain streaks catch the light. Keep our faces sharp and our outfits unchanged. Do not add any text, logos or watermarks.

Soft studio portrait in neutral tones

A calm editorial portrait on a plain backdrop.

Use my uploaded photo of two people as the reference and keep both faces, facial features, skin tones, hairstyles and the way they stand together exactly the same. Turn the photo into an editorial studio portrait on a seamless cream backdrop, lit by soft, even window-style light with gentle shadows. Keep our poses and clothes, and shift the colors toward warm neutrals: ivory, sand and soft brown. Natural skin texture, no heavy retouching. Do not add any text, logos or watermarks.

Autumn park walk

Warm leaves and low sun in a quiet park.

Use my uploaded photo of two people as the reference and keep both faces, facial features, skin tones, hairstyles and the way they stand together exactly the same. Move us to a quiet park path in autumn, with orange and gold leaves on the ground and in the trees, and low afternoon sun filtering through the branches. Keep a shallow depth of field so the background glows softly, and keep our clothes the same. The mood is warm and relaxed. Do not add any text, logos or watermarks.

Rooftop at blue hour

String lights and a city skyline at dusk.

Use my uploaded photo of two people as the reference and keep both faces, facial features, skin tones, hairstyles and the way they stand together exactly the same. Place us on a rooftop terrace at blue hour, with warm string lights overhead and a softly blurred city skyline behind us. The sky is deep blue with the last light of the day, and the string lights give a gentle glow on our faces. Keep our outfits and our closeness exactly as in the photo. Do not add any text, logos or watermarks.

Festival photo prompts

Seasonal and cultural celebration scenes. Each prompt keeps your face and clothes, and dresses the setting rather than the person.

Diwali evening glow

Rows of lit diyas and warm golden lights.

Use my uploaded photo as the reference and keep my face, facial features, skin tone and hairstyle exactly the same. Place me in an evening Diwali setting, with rows of lit clay diyas in the foreground, marigold garlands hanging nearby and warm golden fairy lights glowing as soft bokeh behind me.

Holi color burst

Clouds of bright powder in the air, with your face kept clear.

Do not add any text, logos or watermarks.

Eid evening lanterns

A calm night scene with lanterns and a crescent moon.

Use my uploaded photo as the reference and keep my face, facial features, skin tone and hairstyle exactly the same.

Christmas market in the snow

Falling snow and warm lights at a winter market.

Use my uploaded photo as the reference and keep my face, facial features, skin tone and hairstyle exactly the same. Move me to a Christmas market at dusk with light snow falling.

Lunar New Year lanterns

Red lanterns, gold details and a night sky with fireworks.

Use my uploaded photo as the reference and keep my face, facial features, skin tone and hairstyle exactly the same.

Warm red and gold light falls across my face and shoulders. Keep my face and clothes exactly the same, and keep the background slightly soft. Do not add any text, logos or watermarks.

Retro and vintage photo prompts

Decade looks built from light, color and grain. They change the feel of the photo, not who is in it.

1990s disposable camera flash

Harsh flash, washed colors and heavy grain.

Use my uploaded photo as the reference and keep my face, facial features, skin tone and hairstyle exactly the same. Restyle the photo as if it were taken on a 1990s disposable film camera with a direct flash.

Do not add any text, logos or watermarks.

1970s warm film look

Faded warm tones and soft sun flare.

Use my uploaded photo as the reference and keep my face, facial features, skin tone and hairstyle exactly the same.

Place me in a sunlit wood-panelled room with a patterned sofa behind me. Keep my clothes the same. Do not add any text, logos or watermarks.

Instant film snapshot

A square instant photo with a white border.

Use my uploaded photo as the reference and keep my face, facial features, skin tone and hairstyle exactly the same. Recreate the photo as a square instant-film snapshot with a thick white border at the bottom.

Leave the white border completely blank.

Set the aspect ratio to 1:1 or 4:5 for the best fit.

Y2K glossy magazine style

Chrome, pastel gradients and bright flash.

Use my uploaded photo as the reference and keep my face, facial features, skin tone and hairstyle exactly the same.

1980s neon arcade

Magenta and cyan glow in a dark arcade.

Use my uploaded photo as the reference and keep my face, facial features, skin tone and hairstyle exactly the same.

A photo you may edit

Only upload photos of yourself or of people who agreed. Do not edit photos of children you do not have the right to edit.
