Gemini AI Photo Editing Prompts

6 hand-written prompts + 12 tested library prompts with results — copy one, paste it with your photo.

A Gemini AI photo editing prompt is a short, specific instruction you paste into Google Gemini together with your own photo, so Gemini restyles the background, outfit and lighting while keeping your face. The prompts below are written for Gemini’s image editing (the model people call “Nano Banana”), and every one ends with a face-lock line so the result still looks like you.

How to use these prompts

Open gemini.google.com or the Gemini app and start a new chat.
Tap the + button and upload a clear, front-facing photo.
Copy a prompt from this page, paste it in, and send.
If the face drifts, reply “keep my face exactly the same as the original photo” and regenerate.

Gemini AI Photo Editing Prompts — copy & paste

1. Golden hour cinematic portrait

Transform this photo into a cinematic golden-hour portrait: warm low sun from the left, soft rim light on the hair, shallow depth of field with a creamy bokeh city skyline behind, subtle film grain, teal-and-orange colour grade, 85mm lens look. Keep the face, facial features, skin tone and identity exactly the same as in the uploaded photo. Photorealistic, natural skin texture, sharp focus.

2. Old money aesthetic

Restyle this photo in an old money aesthetic: tailored cream linen outfit, navy cable-knit sweater draped over the shoulders, standing on the lawn of a country club with white columns behind, soft overcast daylight, muted beige and green palette, editorial magazine look. Keep the face, facial features, skin tone and identity exactly the same as in the uploaded photo. Photorealistic, natural skin texture, sharp focus.

3. Rainy street mood

Place the person on a neon-lit city street at night in light rain, wearing a black trench coat, wet reflective road, pink and blue neon signs blurred in the background, cinematic moody lighting, slight haze, 35mm film look. Keep the face, facial features, skin tone and identity exactly the same as in the uploaded photo. Photorealistic, natural skin texture, sharp focus.

4. Royal heritage look

Turn this photo into a royal heritage portrait inside a Rajasthan palace hall: ornate arches, warm lantern light, rich maroon and gold traditional outfit with fine embroidery, regal posture, painterly soft light like a classic portrait photograph. Keep the face, facial features, skin tone and identity exactly the same as in the uploaded photo. Photorealistic, natural skin texture, sharp focus.

5. Clean studio headshot

Create a professional studio headshot: plain soft grey backdrop, soft key light at 45 degrees with gentle fill, crisp well-fitted navy blazer, natural confident expression, high-end corporate photography look. Keep the face, facial features, skin tone and identity exactly the same as in the uploaded photo. Photorealistic, natural skin texture, sharp focus.

Frequently asked questions

Do these prompts work in the free version of Gemini?

Yes. Image editing with an uploaded photo works in the free Gemini app and on gemini.google.com, within its daily limits.

Why does Gemini sometimes change my face?

Vague prompts give the model room to reinterpret you. Every prompt here ends with an explicit instruction to keep your face, features and skin tone unchanged; if it still drifts, ask Gemini to keep your face exactly as in the original and regenerate.

Can I use the same prompts in ChatGPT?

Yes. They are plain text and work in any AI photo editor that accepts a photo plus a prompt, including ChatGPT.
