GPT Image 2.6 Prompt Generator

New in 2.6: one subject, one small motion, a start pose it returns to.

Looping animated sticker in a flat illustration style. Subject: [CHARACTER, e.g. a round orange cat with a tiny backpack], centered with even padding on a flat [SOLID COLOR] background. Motion: the cat [SMALL MOTION, e.g. waves one paw twice] and returns to its starting pose, sitting upright facing the viewer. Keep the camera still. The outline, colors and background stay identical in every frame; only the paw moves. The motion loops smoothly. No text.

A still product shot with one subtle moving element, made for social and email.

Editorial product shot of [PRODUCT, e.g. a matte black ceramic coffee mug] on a [SURFACE] by a window, soft directional daylight from camera left, ~5200K, 50mm feel. Motion: only [AMBIENT ELEMENT, e.g. thin steam rising from the mug and drifting right] moves; it starts and ends in the same position so the loop is seamless. The mug, the surface, the light and the framing do not change between frames. Camera locked off. No text, no watermark.

Animate a still logo on the edits endpoint, with the logo kept exact.

Animate Image 1: the [BRAND] logo. Motion: a single soft light sweep travels left to right across the logo, then the frame settles back to the original still logo. Keep the logo shape, the letterforms "[BRAND NAME]", the colors and the [BACKGROUND] exactly as in Image 1 in every frame. Camera still. No added text, no extra elements.

New in 2.6: editable vector output. Flat shapes and a short palette.

Flat vector logo mark for [BRAND, e.g. a neighborhood bakery called "Rise"]. A [SYMBOL, e.g. a wheat stalk forming the letter R] with a strong, simple silhouette, centered with even padding. Clean vector-like shapes, flat fills, minimal strokes, no gradients, no texture. Palette: [COLOR 1 HEX] as the main fill and [COLOR 2 HEX] as the accent, nothing else.

Same 2px-style stroke weight on every icon, rounded line caps and joins, consistent corner radius, no fills except [ACCENT HEX] on one small detail per icon. Strokes in [MAIN HEX].

Wide composition with clear negative space on the right. No text.
API: output_format=svg, n=1

New in 2.6: circle what to change on a transparent overlay.

Use the red circle in the markup to locate the target: [WHAT IS CIRCLED, e.g. the coffee cup on the left side of the table]. Change: [EDIT, e.g. replace it with a tall glass of iced tea with lemon]. Match the existing lighting direction, shadows and depth of field. Everything outside the marked area stays exactly unchanged. Remove the markup circle completely from the final image.

Plays to GPT Image’s strength in natural lighting and real material texture.

An editorial product photograph of [PRODUCT] on [SURFACE]. Lit by [LIGHT SOURCE, e.g. a single north-facing window] from camera [LEFT/RIGHT], soft directional falloff, roughly [COLOUR TEMPERATURE, e.g. 5200K]. The [MATERIAL, e.g. unglazed stoneware] reads as [SURFACE BEHAVIOUR, e.g. chalky matte with a faint speckle]. [FRAMING] at [LENS, e.g. 85mm] with shallow depth of field. Background: [BACKGROUND], softly defocused. Real photograph, honest texture, no retouching gloss, no watermark.

Keep word count low and hierarchy explicit — run this at xHigh or Max.

A vector infographic explaining [TOPIC]. Title "[TITLE]" across the top in bold [FONT STYLE]. Three numbered sections down the page, each a heading and one short line: "1. [HEADING] — [BODY]", "2. [HEADING] — [BODY]", "3. [HEADING] — [BODY]". Simple [ICON STYLE] icons beside each. [BACKGROUND COLOUR] background with [ACCENT] accents, thin rule lines, generous margins. Flat even lighting, every character sharp and correctly spelled, no duplicate text.

Matches the Poster template in ChatGPT Images.

A [STYLE] poster for [EVENT/BRAND], [SIZE/RATIO] format. Headline "[HEADLINE]" fills the upper third in [FONT STYLE], [COLOUR]. Subhead "[SUBHEAD]" beneath at roughly half the size. [IMAGE ELEMENT] occupies the middle. Detail line "[DATE / VENUE / URL]" along the bottom edge. Palette limited to [COLOURS], dominant colour [PRIMARY]. Clear hierarchy, generous margins, print-ready, no extra copy, no watermark.

Specify light source and skin texture rather than “beautiful lighting”.

A photorealistic portrait of [PERSON DESCRIPTION] wearing [WARDROBE]. [FRAMING, e.g. head and shoulders], body angled slightly camera left, eyes to lens, [EXPRESSION]. Lit by [LIGHTING SETUP] from [DIRECTION], [COLOUR TEMPERATURE]. Natural skin texture with visible pores, fine flyaway hair, no beauty retouching. Background: [BACKGROUND], softly defocused. 85mm feel, sharp focus on the near eye, true-to-life colour.

Number every reference and say which one the identity comes from.

Image 1: the base scene — preserve its composition, lighting direction and colour grade exactly. Image 2: the subject — [WHO/WHAT], this is the identity source. Place the subject from Image 2 into Image 1 at [POSITION], scaled so [SCALE CUE, e.g. their head reaches the window sill]. Match Image 1’s lighting direction, colour temperature and grain. Preserve: face, identity, outfit, proportions. Constraints: no extra objects, no added text, no halos or fringing.

Use complexity low and name both the change and the preserve list.

Change: [SPECIFIC ELEMENT] becomes [NEW STATE]. Preserve: composition, framing, lighting, shadows, colour grade, every other object, and all existing text exactly as they are. Constraints: no redesign, no extra objects, no added text, no watermark. Blend the edited area so its lighting, grain and focus falloff match the rest of the frame.

Quality holds across turns — make one change per turn instead of one compound edit.

Turn 1 — Change only [FIRST CHANGE]; everything else stays exactly the same.
Turn 2 — Now change only [SECOND CHANGE]; same person, same outfit, same framing as the previous image.
Turn 3 — Now change only [THIRD CHANGE]; keep the colour grade and lighting from the previous image.
On every turn preserve: [FACE / POSE / LAYOUT / BRAND TEXT]. Never add objects or text that were not requested.

For the images/edits endpoint with an alpha-channel mask.

Fill the masked region only with [NEW CONTENT]. Match the surrounding [GRAIN / NOISE LEVEL], focus falloff, lighting direction and colour temperature so the seam is invisible. Do not alter a single pixel outside the mask. Constraints: no halos or fringing at the mask edge, no added text, no extra objects.

Transparent backgrounds need PNG, WebP or SVG output.

A [PRODUCT/SUBJECT] rendered as a clean cutout, [ANGLE, e.g. three-quarter view], lit by [LIGHTING] so the form reads clearly without a backdrop. Material: [MATERIAL] with [SURFACE FINISH]. Background: fully transparent (alpha channel), subject cleanly cut out, crisp edges on [FINE DETAIL, e.g. hair / wire / glass rim], no halos, no fringing, no drop shadow baked in.

Matches the Merch template; keep it flat and print-ready.

A [STYLE] graphic for [GARMENT], centred composition. Main motif: [MOTIF]. Lockup text reads "[TEXT]" in [FONT STYLE], [COLOUR], positioned [PLACEMENT]. Limited to [NUMBER] flat colours: [COLOURS]. Consistent stroke weight, no gradients, no drop shadows, clean vector edges, transparent background, print-ready at large scale.

For the @Sketch tool — say what the drawing governs and what it does not.

Use the supplied sketch for layout and proportion only — the final image is a [TARGET MEDIUM, e.g. photorealistic interior photograph], not a drawing. Scene: [SCENE]. Subject: [SUBJECT] positioned as sketched. Render in [STYLE] with [LIGHTING] and [MATERIALS]. Keep the sketched spatial relationships and scale; ignore the sketch’s line quality, colour and shading.

Preserve typographic hierarchy across scripts; keep total word count low.

A [SIGN TYPE] displaying "[TEXT IN TARGET LANGUAGE]" in [SCRIPT, e.g. Japanese kanji and kana] set in [FONT STYLE], with "[SECONDARY TEXT]" beneath in smaller English at roughly half the size. Mounted on [SURFACE] in [SETTING]. [LIGHTING]. Straight-on framing, high contrast, text rendered crisply and correctly in both scripts, no duplicate or garbled characters.

Lock one specification, then reuse it verbatim across every panel or page.

Character anchor — [NAME]: [AGE/BUILD], [HAIR], [SKIN], wearing [OUTFIT DETAIL], [DISTINGUISHING FEATURE]. Proportions: [PROPORTION NOTE, e.g. three-and-a-half heads tall]. Style: [ART STYLE], [LINE WEIGHT], [PALETTE].
Scene for this panel: [SCENE AND ACTION]. Preserve identity exactly: same face, same outfit, same proportions and same palette as the anchor above. No style drift between panels.

Consistent multi-element output in one generation.

A set of [NUMBER] [ASSET TYPE, e.g. app icons] for [BRAND], arranged in an evenly spaced grid. Each depicts: [ITEM 1], [ITEM 2], [ITEM 3], [ITEM 4].

Plain [BACKGROUND] background, flat even lighting, crisp edges, no text labels.
