Just talk to Gemini: conversational prompts
Start with a plain request
Make an image of [A GOLDEN RETRIEVER PUPPY SITTING IN A SUNNY KITCHEN], photorealistic, soft natural window light, sharp focus
Gemini is built for plain language, so one clear sentence gets you a solid first image you can then build on.
Refine it in the very next message
Good, now make it [NIGHT TIME WITH WARM LAMP LIGHT] and add [A RED COLLAR ON THE PUPPY], keep the puppy and the kitchen the same
This is the Gemini app's superpower. You keep chatting and it edits the same image, so you shape the result one change at a time.
Let Gemini write the prompt for you
I want a [BIRTHDAY POSTER FOR MY DAUGHTER]. Ask me any details you need, then write a detailed image prompt and generate it
Letting Gemini interview you and draft the prompt is the fastest path when you are not sure how to describe what you want.
Everyday photo edits by instruction
Turn a selfie into a headshot
Using my uploaded selfie, make a professional headshot for [LINKEDIN], [NAVY BLAZER], soft studio lighting, clean [LIGHT GRAY] background, keep my face and hair exactly the same, natural skin
A clear 'keep my face the same' plus a wardrobe and background is how you get a usable headshot without looking like a different person.
Restyle a photo into a new look
Restyle this photo as [A 1990S FILM PHOTOGRAPH], warm faded colors, soft grain, keep the same people, pose, and composition
Naming a specific look and telling it to keep the composition restyles the mood without redrawing the scene.
Clean up a messy photo
In this photo, remove the [CLUTTER ON THE DESK] and the [POWER CABLES], fill the space naturally, keep the [LAPTOP AND LAMP] exactly where they are
Saying what to remove and what to keep in place gives a clean fix instead of a redrawn room.
Swap an outfit or the background
Change my [T-SHIRT] to [A CRISP WHITE BUTTON-UP SHIRT], keep my face, pose, and the background the same, match the lighting
One targeted change with 'keep the rest the same' protects everything you already like about the original.
Combine your reference images
Put yourself in a new scene
Take the person from my first photo and place them [ON A SUNNY BEACH AT SUNSET], match the scale, lighting, and shadows so it looks like one real photo
Gemini can blend two uploads, and calling out scale and shadows is what makes the merge look believable instead of pasted on.
Show a product in a real setting
Take the [CANDLE] from my product photo and show it [ON A RUSTIC WOODEN TABLE NEXT TO A COFFEE MUG], keep the label, shape, and color exact, add soft daylight and a natural shadow
Locking the label and shape keeps your real product accurate while it drops into a lifestyle scene.
Borrow the style from one image
Apply the [COLOR PALETTE AND MOOD] from my second image to the first photo, keep the subject and composition of the first image unchanged
Using one image as the style reference and one as the subject is a clean way to match a brand look.
Marketing images, text, and mockups
Social post with readable text
Create a [SQUARE INSTAGRAM POST] for [A SUMMER SALE], headline text 'FIFTY PERCENT OFF THIS WEEKEND' in [BOLD CLEAN LETTERS], spelled correctly, [BRIGHT PLAYFUL] colors, leave room at the bottom for a logo
Gemini can render readable text, so put the exact words in quotes and say where they go and how bold they should be.
Web banner with a headline
Design a [WIDE WEB BANNER] for [MY COFFEE BRAND], warm photo of [A LATTE], headline 'FRESHLY ROASTED, DELIVERED' on the [LEFT], clean modern font, calm brown and cream palette
Giving the shape, the headline, and where the text sits gets a banner you can actually use, not a random picture.
Simple product mockup
Make a mockup of my [LOGO] printed on [A WHITE COFFEE MUG], centered, realistic studio lighting, plain background, product-catalog quality, no extra text
A mockup prompt with the item, the placement, and studio lighting gives a clean shot for a shop listing.
Stickers, emoji, and fun restyles
Sticker pack of yourself
Turn my photo into a set of [CARTOON STICKERS], [SIX DIFFERENT EXPRESSIONS] like happy, laughing, surprised, and thumbs up, bold outline, thick white border, plain background, keep my face recognizable
Asking for a set of expressions with a bold outline and a white border gives sticker-ready art in a single go.
Custom emoji or app icon
Create a [SINGLE ROUND EMOJI] of [A SMILING AVOCADO], flat clean vector style, simple shapes, bright colors, centered on a plain background
Flat vector wording and 'simple shapes' keeps an emoji crisp and readable even at a small size.
Restyle a photo into art
Redraw my photo as [A WATERCOLOR PAINTING], soft edges and gentle color, keep the same faces and pose, painterly but still clearly recognizable
Naming the medium and saying keep the faces lets you get real art without losing the people in the photo.
