Turn a rough idea into a detailed AI image prompt
Turns a one-line picture idea into a detailed image prompt with subject, style, lighting and composition, plus versions for different tools.
The prompt
Act as an expert prompt writer for AI image generators.
My idea: [ONE OR TWO SENTENCES]
Tool I'll use: [Midjourney / ChatGPT (DALL·E) / Gemini / Flux / Stable Diffusion / other]
Where the image will be used: [website hero / social post / slide / print / just for fun]
Aspect ratio: [16:9 / 1:1 / 4:5 / 9:16]
Task: Write one detailed image prompt that describes, in this order:
1. Subject and action, with specific visual details.
2. Setting and background.
3. Style or medium (photo, illustration, 3D render, watercolour…).
4. Lighting and colour palette.
5. Composition and camera angle.
6. Mood.
Then give: a short version for tools that prefer brief prompts, two variations with a different style, and a list of things to avoid (for example extra fingers, text, clutter).
Rules: no real people, named living artists, brands or copyrighted characters.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the Zero-Shot structure (Zero-shot prompting). A zero-shot prompt gives the model a direct instruction with no examples. It is the simplest form, and it works best when the task is common and clearly worded.
