How do you use these prompts in Gemini?
- Open the Gemini app or gemini.google.com and start a new chat.
- Upload your photo with the + or image button.
- Paste the prompt, replace every [BLANK] with your choices, and send.
- If a detail is off, reply with one specific fix, for example “keep my face exactly the same, only change the background”.
In ChatGPT it works the same way: attach your photo with the + button, paste the prompt, fill in the blanks and send.
Tips for better results
- Use one photo where both faces are clear, front-facing and well lit. If you only have separate photos, upload both and say “use the person from the first photo and the person from the second photo, keep both faces exactly the same”.
- Say how many people should be in the picture (“only the two of us, do not add anyone”). This stops the AI adding strangers to the background.
- For the trending retro style couple photo, ask for “soft film grain, faded warm colours and gentle light leaks” and keep the outfit change simple.
- Change one thing per message: first the setting, then the outfits. Asking for everything at once is the most common reason faces change.
Use AI photo prompts safely
- Only edit photos of yourself, or of people who have agreed. For children, only if you are their parent or guardian.
- Don’t create images that could mislead, embarrass or impersonate someone, or that show a real person doing something they didn’t do.
- Keep edits of children ordinary and age-appropriate, and for family use.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best Gemini prompt for a couple photo?
A good couple photo prompt names the setting, pose, outfits and mood, and says that both faces must stay exactly the same. The romantic cinematic portrait and the retro vintage couple portrait on this page are the most popular starting points.
Can I make a couple photo from two separate photos?
Yes. Gemini and ChatGPT both accept more than one image. Upload both photos, say which person comes from which photo, and keep the “keep both faces exactly the same” rule. Only do this with someone who has agreed to it.
How do I make a retro style couple photo in Gemini?
Use the retro photo prompts or the retro couple prompt on this page. Choose an era (1970s, 1980s or 1990s), a warm or faded colour mood and a simple backdrop, then ask for film grain and soft light.
Do these couple prompts work in ChatGPT too?
Yes. Attach your photo in ChatGPT, paste the prompt and fill in the blanks. Results differ a little between tools, so try both if the first result isn’t right.
