Generated prompt output from image

The generated text prompt result from an uploaded image.

How It Works

  1. Upload an image.
  2. Configure your settings (style, length, language, focus areas).
  3. Click Generate.
  4. Copy the resulting text prompt with one click.

The tool uses GPT-4o-mini to analyze your image and produce a text description tailored to your settings. There is no model picker - it always uses GPT-4o-mini.

Cost: 2 credits per generation.

Settings

Description Style

Choose how the prompt reads:

  • Default - Balanced description
  • Detailed - Thorough, covers everything visible
  • Concise - Short and focused
  • Technical - Emphasis on specs, measurements, rendering terms
  • Artistic - Emphasis on mood, composition, artistic qualities
  • Keywords - Comma-separated tags rather than sentences

Prompt Length

Slider from 10 to 450 words. Shorter prompts are punchier and work well for simple images. Longer prompts capture more nuance and are better for complex scenes.

Output Language

Available in 8 languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, and Chinese.

Focus Areas

Toggle up to 16 focus areas to guide what the AI pays attention to: colors, materials, lighting, composition, textures, mood, perspective, background, foreground, details, style, subject, environment, action, clothing, and anatomy.

Access

Image to Prompt requires a paid plan. It is not available on the free tier.
