Using these prompts in ChatGPT (free)
Paste the same prompts in ChatGPT with your photo attached. ChatGPT often follows longer wardrobe lists well; Gemini is usually quicker for short face-locked birthday edits. Free-plan limits still apply in each app.
Tips to keep your real face
- Keep the face-preservation lines in every prompt. Birthday scenes often invent a generic smile.
- Ask for your exact skin tone, hairstyle, glasses, beard, or head covering by name in a short follow-up if anything drifts.
- Prefer a sharp, front-facing photo with even light. Beauty filters and heavy occlusion make identity harder.
- For kids and babies, use a photo taken at their eye level with the face fully visible and no stickers.
