Try your portrait prompt in iMini

Want a cinematic profile picture, a fresh outfit or a polished headshot without writing a prompt from scratch? These 30 examples start from your own photo and cover everyday style, creative portraits, special occasions and professional use. Pick a look, adjust the details and check that the result still looks like you. The examples are intended for adult men.

Start with one clear photo and one specific look

Upload a well-lit portrait, copy one prompt and change only the details you need. A prompt can request consistent facial features, but it cannot guarantee an identical face. Compare the result with the source. This is a curated collection by use case, not a measured ranking of model performance.

How to use the prompts

1

Choose a sharp source photo with visible eyes, an unobstructed face and lighting close to the desired result. For a full-length edit, supply a full-length source rather than asking the model to invent a body.

2

In ChatGPT, choose an image-capable workflow available to your account and upload the photo. For iMini, use its available image-editing model and reference upload. The same text is a starting brief; different tools can interpret it differently.

3

Paste one prompt. Replace the outfit color, setting or crop, then generate a small first test. Avoid combining six different scenes in the same request.

4

Compare facial proportions, skin tone, hair, ears, hands and clothing edges. Repair one problem at a time. Add greeting text in an editable layout after the portrait is approved.

Choose your look

Copy one block at a time, then adjust the clothing, setting or crop to suit your own style. You can request corrections in the language you use naturally. These are editing briefs, not a requirement to choose a particular model version.

Fix these issues before you share

If the face drifts, reduce the number of changes and keep the source head angle. If the result looks waxy, ask for natural texture and softer processing. If fingers or clothing seams fail, repair that area instead of regenerating the whole composition. Do not brighten skin by changing its tone. A professional-looking portrait should still look like you.

Frequently asked questions

Which prompt should I try first?

Start with 13 for a simple profile picture, 1 for a smart casual look or 7 for a cinematic scene.

Can a prompt keep my face exactly unchanged?

No prompt can guarantee that. Compare the source and output; use a workflow that retains the original face layer when exact preservation is essential.

Can I change the outfit, language or occasion?

Yes. Replace the clothing and scene with details that suit you, and write corrections in your preferred language. Keep the lighting, framing and protected facial features specific.

Are these prompts only for one ChatGPT model?

No. Results depend on the image workflow available to you. In iMini, choose an available reference-image editing model; do not assume a ChatGPT model is offered there.

Should I generate greeting text inside the portrait?

Leave space and add the greeting as editable text later. This makes spelling, line breaks and reuse easier to control.
