9 enjoyable ChatGPT picture prompts to attempt in 2025

Again in March 2025, OpenAI rolled out picture era to all free customers. This provides everybody an opportunity to take a seat down and make and edit pictures utilizing AI. In reality, once we sat down to check the very best AI picture mills, ChatGPT got here out on prime (although Google’s Nano Banana is giving it a run for its cash these days). And if you wish to get began making enjoyable photographs with ChatGPT, you simply have to know the proper ChatGPT photograph prompts.

Picture era in ChatGPT — and most different AI fashions — falls into three classes. You’ll be able to create pictures out of nothing utilizing pure language (often called text-to-image era), you possibly can add a picture and have the AI remodel it not directly, or you possibly can add a picture and have the AI edit the photograph to your specs. 

There are a variety of permutations of every possibility, and it could actually generally be troublesome to know the place to begin. So, listed here are a few of our favourite ChatGPT picture prompts you should use to create neat stuff. You may also take a look at Mashable’s information to the very best Nano Banana and Gemini photograph prompts for extra inspiration.

Mix footage collectively

Probably the greatest examples of AI picture era at work is to mix footage collectively. To make it work, merely add two pictures to the ChatGPT chat with directions on what you wish to do. For this instance, I took a headshot of myself and an image of my canine together with his nostril on the desk, and requested ChatGPT to place my head within the picture with the canine. The purpose was as you see above, to have an image of my canine and I collectively. 

The primary time I attempted it, it took my head and never my shoulders, so I had an actual Futurama factor going the place I used to be only a head floating there, so I had ChatGPT rerun the era with particular directions to additionally embody my shoulders. The above popped out, and whereas it doesn’t look precisely like me (and the canine doesn’t look precisely like my canine), it’s shut sufficient to name a hit. 

Flip your self (or your pets) into buying and selling playing cards

This one was actually enjoyable to do. I used an image of my canine Luna, who sadly handed away final yr. I had ChatGPT create this enjoying card for an imaginary fantasy role-playing sport, which I’ll use as a cute social media submit finally. I uploaded a photograph of my canine and used a immediate detailing what I wished.

“This can be a good canine named Luna. Please create a enjoying card that includes Luna for an imaginary fantasy role-playing sport. The cardboard ought to characteristic particulars on HP, assault title and impact, weaknesses (tennis balls, peanut butter), and a really transient description of Luna’s talents. Earlier than finishing the cardboard, double-check that each one phrases, textual content, and numbers seem accurately with none errors or typos.”

These make for pleasant little pictures that you may share, and my spouse received a giggle out of it. There are a ton of variations to this immediate. You may also have ChatGPT create sports activities buying and selling playing cards or no matter your coronary heart needs.

Add particulars to present pictures

ChatGPT can even add stuff to pictures to make them pop extra. Google Gemini can do that with Nano Banana as effectively, as Mashable editor Timothy Werth added some dolphins to a picture of him on a ship. So, I assumed I’d attempt it out. Final yr, the U.S. noticed a loopy week the place the aurora borealis reached so far as Texas. I caught an image from my entrance yard, however as I used to be within the suburbs, and I wasn’t capable of get these cool particulars that others did. 

So, I despatched the image to ChatGPT and requested it so as to add in a few of these aurora particulars. Within the picture above, ChatGPT added principally all of the inexperienced components to the sky. The extra refined inexperienced notes proper above the bushes and homes are excellent, however I assumed the extra apparent inexperienced waves have been a bit a lot contemplating the lighting and shade tones of the remainder of the {photograph}. Both means, it nonetheless appears good, and it illustrates the impact. 

For prompts like this, be as particular as attainable. Keep in mind, with ChatGPT picture prompts, specificity is essential!

Claymation, constructing blocks, and puppets, oh my!

Claymation was a giant pattern some time again, and ChatGPT customers have even created customized instruments within the chatbot that can assist you make your individual claymation pictures. So, in the event you’ve ever wished to show your self right into a Robotic Rooster-like character, that is your probability. Add a picture of your self and ask ChatGPT to do the remaining.

Claymation isn’t the one transformation impact that ChatGPT can do, in fact. Customers have additionally had a variety of enjoyable turning themselves into Lego-style characters and puppets.

Flip your pets into folks

The flexibility to show pets into folks exists someplace between tremendous cool and weirdly unsettling. We coated this ChatGPT photograph pattern when it first went viral, and it is nonetheless a variety of enjoyable. The method is straightforward sufficient. Add a picture of your pet to ChatGPT after which ask it to think about your pet as a human. You’ll be able to add further prompts like clothes alternative, facial features, background imagery, and all of that. ChatGPT will then flip your pet right into a human. Nevertheless, it is also enjoyable to maintain this immediate very simple and see how ChatGPT interprets it: “Flip my pet right into a human.”

In most examples, the change isn’t too dramatic, however a few of them could be a little unsettling to take a look at.

This trended on social media for some time, so you will discover tons of examples on Reddit, Instagram, Threads, BlueSky, and different locations. 

Have ChatGPT replicate a picture 100 instances

When Mashable’s tech editor requested ChatGPT to copy a picture of himself 100 instances, the outcomes have been… weird. For this pattern, most individuals follow a quite simple immediate: “Create a precise reproduction of this picture, do not change a factor.”

You’d suppose it might simply spit out the identical picture 100 instances, however you’ll be mistaken. Each time you run a picture by means of ChatGPT, it adjustments barely, even in the event you inform it to not change something. Repeat this a bunch of instances, and you will get some actually fascinating finish outcomes. Phrase of warning: This one does require a bit extra know-how, as the simplest and quickest means is to it’s by utilizing OpenAI’s API. The on a regular basis AI chatbot could even refuse to take part in a replication request.

Some of the well-known examples of this ChatGPT picture pattern is one the place a Redditor ran Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s image by means of the chatbot 101 instances. The Rock slowly morphs from himself into somebody who appears completely totally different, and finally ends up trying like one thing out of Picasso’s nightmares.

Flip your self (or the rest) into an motion determine

Keep in mind the ChatGPT motion determine pattern? Earlier this yr, ChatGPT customers have been utilizing the chatbot to show themselves or their favourite characters into motion figures, full with packaging, plastic wrap, and equipment. For greatest outcomes, add some particulars to your immediate in regards to the packaging particulars and the form of equipment you’d wish to see to additional customise the ultimate outcome.

Flip your Reddit username into an image

I’ve been on Reddit for about 12 years now, and I’ve seen some wacky usernames. A few of them can be enjoyable to see in picture format, and ChatGPT can just do that. Within the above instance, Redditor beachedwhitemale generated a picture of a beached white male. Kudos for accuracy, ChatGPT. 

Just like the others, you possibly can change how this presents by tweaking your prompts. For example, one Redditor opted for a extra artsy look relatively than lifelike, and a few of us even requested ChatGPT to make the reverse of what their username can be, with fascinating outcomes. How absurd or cool that is completely will depend on your Reddit username, so hopefully you picked an fascinating one. 

Try the Development Picture software

If you wish to create pictures or cartoons based mostly on trending information, one ChatGPT-er has constructed the Development Picture operate, which mines the headlines of the day for picture immediate concepts. For instance, you possibly can create a webcomic based mostly on the newest tech information or animate an fascinating science story to your youngsters.

My very own try at this pattern is… wonderful. (Why are the quantum scientists arguing with a espresso maker?) With some fine-tuning and dialogue ideas, I believe you possibly can create one thing lots higher.

Have ChatGPT picture immediate concepts of your individual?

ChatGPT remains to be one of many greatest AI picture makers (although Google’s Nano Banana might be the very best picture editor in the meanwhile), so when you have a bizarre or quirky concept, you would possibly as effectively give it a shot. Be happy to drop your individual ChatGPT immediate concepts into the feedback, or share them with Mashable on social media.
