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
- Mention your beard, moustache, glasses and hairline in the “keep exactly the same” line if they matter to you; AI tools sometimes tidy them away.
- Ask the AI not to change your build. The prompts already say “do not change my build”, so keep that line.
- For a hairstyle try-on, name the style (“short textured crop with a low fade”) rather than a celebrity.
- For a LinkedIn headshot, a plain light grey background and soft, even light look the most professional.
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 men’s photos?
The most popular are the stylish portrait with a new outfit and setting, the hairstyle try-on and the professional headshot. Each one tells Gemini to keep your face, beard and build exactly the same.
Can AI show me with a different hairstyle?
Yes. Use the hairstyle and beard prompt, name the style you want and keep the rule that your face stays the same. Try two or three styles in the same chat to compare.
Can I use an AI headshot on LinkedIn?
Many people do. Make sure it still looks like you, and keep it natural: a headshot that doesn’t resemble you defeats the purpose.
Are there traditional outfit prompts for men?
Yes. The men’s ethnic wear prompt covers kurta, sherwani and bandhgala looks. See also the festival photo prompts.
