Introduction
Over the past few months, a captivating trend has taken over social media: turning a simple photo into a unique piece of art using artificial intelligence. From dreamy portraits in Ghibli-style AI art, to Pixar-inspired characters, dramatic cyberpunk avatars, or nostalgic reimaginings in ‘90s anime aesthetics — what was once reserved for digital artists is now within reach of anyone using the latest AI photo transformation tools.
This movement gained even more momentum with the release of visual features in ChatGPT, which now supports image input and full-scene generation. Paired with tools like Sora, OpenAI’s video model, and enhanced prompt support for describing styles and visual elements, it didn’t take long before people began asking: “What would my selfie look like in Ghibli style?” or “What if I became a video game character?”
Alongside ChatGPT, platforms like Leonardo.Ai, DALL·E, Midjourney, and BlueWillow have broadened the creative landscape. But the real differentiator today isn’t just about generating cool images — it’s about mastering the right prompts to guide AI into specific, recognizable visual styles, whether classic or modern.
In this article, we’ll explore how AI-generated photo editing has become one of the most accessible and fun ways to dive into the world of creative AI. With 20+ ready-to-use AI image prompts for ChatGPT, you’ll discover a curated list of visual styles you can try — including, of course, the fan favorite: Studio Ghibli-inspired transformations. Each prompt has been tested, and you’ll see real results throughout this guide.
So if you’ve ever wondered what your face would look like as a movie character, comic hero, or animated persona, this is your invitation to explore the creative side of generative AI. Get your selfie ready, pick a style… and let’s create AI art with ChatGPT.
1. How Style Transformation Works with ChatGPT
The magic usually starts with an image — or sometimes, just an idea. Before the recent updates, using ChatGPT for visuals felt more like working with a visual scriptwriter: it could understand what you wanted to create and translate it into a well-structured prompt for external image-generation models. In other words, you could ask ChatGPT to generate prompts, but then you had to take those prompts elsewhere — like Midjourney or Leonardo.Ai — to actually create the AI image.
Although ChatGPT already used DALL·E under the hood, it didn’t offer the kind of direct visual style transformation we now have.
That changed with the launch of GPT-4o, which introduced native support for image transformation inside the ChatGPT interface — meaning you can upload a photo and generate a new image with a different style directly, without needing to switch platforms. This includes popular AI art styles like Ghibli-style portraits, cyberpunk characters, Pixar-inspired visuals, collectible toy designs, and even paintings in the style of Van Gogh.
📌 How to Transform Your Image with ChatGPT
In the next section, you’ll find 20 ready-made prompts that explore a variety of styles using AI photo transformation. But first, here’s a quick step-by-step guide to get you started:
Open ChatGPT (GPT-4o) — make sure you're using the version that supports image uploads and generation.
Look for the Create Image option. If it’s not visible, try clicking the three-dot menu. Usually it is possible to Create even If it's unavailable, but these prompts were testes using it. You can also use ChatGPT to generate prompts and apply them in external tools like DALL·E or Leonardo.Ai.
Upload Your Photo. Click the + button and select a saved image from your device. It can be a portrait, a landscape, or even a stylized illustration.
Paste or Write the Style Prompt. Type or paste your desired prompt into the message box and click send.
Wait and View the Result. In just a few seconds, ChatGPT will generate a new image based on your uploaded photo and the given description.
Refine as Needed. You can ask for tweaks — like brighter lighting, a different background, or a variation in artistic style — and the AI will regenerate the image accordingly.
Download the Final Image. Once you're happy with the result, simply download it. You can use it as digital artwork, an avatar, or content for your social media profiles.
This new workflow has made AI photo transformation far more accessible and intuitive. ChatGPT understands visual context, style aesthetics, descriptive language, and even cultural references. Whether you want to appear as a ‘90s anime character, a Renaissance figure, or a steampunk creature, just describe it clearly — and the AI takes care of the rest.
✨ Ghibli-style Prompt Example:
“A cozy countryside house with curved rooftops, surrounded by tall grass and wildflowers, under a warm pastel sky, in the charming hand-painted style of Studio Ghibli.”
This kind of detailed prompt works beautifully not only in ChatGPT, but also in platforms like Leonardo.Ai, DALL·E, or Midjourney. Each tool may generate a different take on the same idea — with variations in line quality, composition, lighting, or artistic texture.
The key to great results lies in the art of prompt crafting. Think in terms of atmosphere, lighting, composition, color palette, and artistic direction. The more descriptive and imaginative your prompt, the more visually stunning the result will be.
And with the rise of tools like Sora, OpenAI’s video model, this type of visual style transformation is just beginning to evolve into the realm of animation and motion design.
So don’t just copy and paste prompts. Try tweaking them to better match your vision. And if the first image isn’t quite what you expected, ask ChatGPT to try again — giving it more specific instructions. Let your creativity lead. There’s so much more than just recreating Ghibli-style portraits with AI.
Now Let’s dive into the prompts! Ready?

The face should be clearly recognizable, even with the character’s outfit and fantastic elements.
The image should depict a rugged cowboy, standing tall with a determined gaze, riding a biomechanical horse. The horse must have a futuristic and imposing design, with metallic muscles, neon-pulsing veins, plasma-forged hooves, and joints reinforced with alien technology. The bond between rider and mount should reflect control, mutual respect, and synchronicity.
The character should wear a hybrid of classic cowboy attire and futuristic tactical armor, featuring worn leather layered over high-tech components, a stylized cowboy hat with metallic inlays, advanced holsters, reinforced boots, and perhaps a tattered scarf fluttering in the toxic desert wind. Elements like suspended dust, sunlight filtered through particles, and a hazy horizon should compose the mood.
The background must portray a vast dystopian desert landscape, with eroded canyons, metallic dunes, abandoned structures in the distance, and scattered technological towers. There may be digitalized sandstorms, reddish skies, and glowing fire trails left behind by the plasma horse.
Visual style: ultra-realistic or cinematic sci-fi, with high detail in textures, dramatic lighting, and a strong focus on preserving the face. The final image should resemble a scene from an epic futuristic western in a post-apocalyptic world.
Ancient Centaur

The human chest should be partially covered with ornate ancient metal armor, featuring forged textures, steel scales, and engraved runic symbols. The centaur must be wielding a colossal double-headed battle axe, with sharp, massive blades adorned with magical inscriptions or ancestral carvings — evoking brute strength and supernatural force.

The design blends steampunk, space opera, and futuristic punk aesthetics. One eye may feature an advanced ocular implant with a holographic HUD, and the left arm should be partially cybernetic, with exposed joints and glowing pirate runes in neon.
On the right shoulder, place a highly detailed robotic parrot, with metallic feathers, glowing red or amber eyes, and intricate mechanical joints — part companion, part stealth drone.
The background should depict the deck of a futuristic pirate ship, floating through space or an alien atmosphere. The ship’s structure should combine ancient wood with satellite dishes, solar sails partially made of holograms, and glowing quantum engines.

Include wind, smoke, and dramatic lighting from distant explosions or ship spotlights to enrich the atmosphere.
The character should stand in a leadership pose, wearing a confident, provocative expression — that infamous razor-sharp grin clearly visible — wielding a plasma pistol or a hybrid weapon between a saber and an energy blade, sheathed at the waist.
Visual style: ultra-realistic or cinematic sci-fi, with rich textures, bold lighting, and sharp focus on the preserved face. The final image should resemble an epic moment from a high-budget space pirate sci-fi film.
