AI Prompts for Images, Photos and Video
This is our full library of AI prompts for images, photos and video, gathered in one place and free to copy.

Browse the best AI prompts for images, AI prompts for photos you can apply to your own picture, and the best AI prompts for realistic photos with natural light and believable skin. You will also find AI prompts examples for Sora video.

We only publish a prompt after we have run it ourselves and saved the image it produced, along with the model we used. The first tested prompts for this collection will appear here as soon as they pass. Meanwhile, the guide below explains how to get great results.
How to use these prompts

Use these prompts in ChatGPT

- 3Paste the prompt and ask ChatGPT to create the image, mentioning the aspect ratio you want.
- 4Ask for targeted changes in follow-up messages instead of rewriting the whole prompt.
Use these prompts in Grok
- 1Open Grok on the web, in its app, or on X.
- 2Paste the prompt and ask Grok to generate an image from it.

Tips for better results
- 01Start with the subject, then add style, lighting, framing and aspect ratio. That order covers most of what a model needs.
- 02For realistic photos, name a real-world camera setup, such as a 50mm lens, natural window light and shallow depth of field.
- 03Change one detail per attempt so you know which word improved or broke the result.
- 04Use prompts that ask for your own photo only with pictures of yourself or people who have agreed.
- 05Save prompts that work and keep notes on the model used, since the same prompt can look different across tools.
- 06Need a starting point? Our free prompt builder turns a few choices into a structured prompt you can paste anywhere.
FAQ
How to write the best prompt for AI?
Write the best AI prompt by being specific about five things: the subject, the style, the lighting, the framing and the aspect ratio. Add what to avoid when the model keeps making the same mistake. Then change one detail per attempt. Our step-by-step guide to writing AI image prompts walks through each part with examples.
What are the top 10 ChatGPT prompts?
There is no official top ten, because the best ChatGPT prompts depend on what you want to make. For images, the most useful types are realistic portraits, professional headshots, photo edits, product shots, aesthetic scenes, cartoon versions of a photo, posters and seasonal themes. Our ChatGPT image prompt collection has copy-ready examples of each.
Is there an AI that generates prompts?
Yes, many chat assistants can draft prompts for you, but you do not need one. Our free prompt builder creates structured image and video prompts from simple choices like subject, style, lighting and framing. It is a pure template tool that runs in your browser, with no AI API and no sign-up.
Are these AI prompts free to use?
Yes, every prompt in the library is free to copy and use. Click copy, paste the text into the AI tool you prefer, and edit it however you like. Your results still depend on the tool's own plan, limits and terms, so check those before generating large batches of images or video.
Which AI tools do these prompts work with?
The prompts are written for Gemini with Nano Banana, ChatGPT image generation, Grok and Sora for video. Most image prompts also work in other generators with small changes, such as moving the aspect ratio into a parameter. When a prompt is tested, we label the exact model and version that produced the example.
