How to write a text to image prompt

The most reliable prompts read like a short brief for a photographer or illustrator. Name what matters most first, then add detail in order of importance.

A useful pattern is subject, action, setting, style, lighting and composition. For example: “A red fox curled up asleep in fresh snow, early morning, soft blue light, close-up, shallow depth of field.”

  • Subject: who or what the image is about
  • Setting: where and when it happens
  • Style: photo, watercolor, 3D render, flat illustration
  • Light and color: golden hour, neon, pastel, high contrast
  • Composition: close-up, wide shot, top-down, centered
  • Text: the exact words, in quotation marks

Text to image or photo editing?

Use text to image when you start from nothing. When you already have a photo of the person, product or place, upload it and describe the change instead: the AI image editor keeps the original subject recognizable, which a text-only prompt cannot guarantee.

Text to image prompts to start from

  • Food photography

    Prompt: A stack of fluffy pancakes with blueberries and maple syrup, morning light, shallow depth of field

  • Fantasy landscape

    Prompt: A floating island with waterfalls pouring into the clouds, sunset, epic wide shot, painterly style

  • Brand mockup

    Prompt: A white coffee cup with a minimal leaf logo on a wooden table, clean product mockup, soft shadows

  • Children's book

    Prompt: A friendly bear teaching a class of forest animals, gentle watercolor illustration for a children's book

  • Sci-fi city

    Prompt: A futuristic city street at night with holographic signs and flying cars, cinematic, rain

  • Greeting card

    Prompt: A birthday card with hand-lettered “Happy Birthday, Mia!” surrounded by pastel balloons
