The best source photo for couple edits

Use a photo where both faces are similar in size, sharp and lit from the front. Group selfies taken at arm's length distort faces; a photo taken by someone else works better.

Describe who stands where ('she is on the left, he is on the right') if your tool mixes people up.

How to use these prompts

  1. Choose a sharp, well-lit photo where your face is clearly visible (front-facing works best).
  2. Tap Copy prompt — or tap ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok to copy the prompt and open that tool in one step.
  3. In the AI tool, start a new chat, upload your photo, then paste the prompt (long-press → Paste on mobile, Ctrl/⌘+V on desktop) and send.
  4. Not quite right? Reply with a short correction, e.g. “keep my face exactly the same and make the background darker”.

AfroPrompt does not generate images and never sees your photos — everything happens in the AI tool you choose. Image features, limits and availability differ by tool, plan and country, and change often. Always check that tool's own terms and privacy settings before uploading photos of yourself or others.

Photography tips for better results

  • Use a photo taken by someone else rather than an arm's-length selfie.
  • Say who stands on which side if the tool swaps people.
  • Ask for 'no text' on poster or Polaroid styles.
  • Regenerate rather than accept a changed face.

Ask for natural skin texture, realistic lighting and simple poses.
