Write better prompts

Four quick rules we live by.

Lead with the subject, not the style

Models lock onto the first few tokens. Start with what the image is actually of ("a red fox standing in tall grass"), then layer style, lens and lighting after.

Borrow from photography, not adjectives

Words like "85mm portrait lens, soft golden hour light, shallow depth of field" do more for an image than ten "beautiful" / "stunning" adjectives.

Pick one art direction at a time

Mixing "watercolor + cyberpunk + Pixar + photoreal" gives you mush. Pick one anchor style, then nudge it with a single modifier.

Use negatives sparingly

Most modern models read positive intent better than negative. Instead of "no extra fingers", describe the hands you want: "hands resting naturally on the table".

FAQ

Common questions.

What is an AI image prompt?

An AI image prompt is the text instruction you give a model like Midjourney, DALL·E, Stable Diffusion or Flux to generate an image. A good prompt describes the subject, the composition, the style, the lighting and any constraints — clearly enough that the model can reliably reproduce what you imagined.

Can I use these prompts commercially?

The prompts in this library are free to use however you like. Whether the resulting image is commercially usable depends on the model you generate it with — check that model’s license (Midjourney, DALL·E, Flux, Stable Diffusion all have different terms).

Which AI image model is best?

For pure photorealism, Flux and Midjourney lead. For tight prompt adherence and editing, GPT-Image and Gemini are excellent. For local / open-weights workflows, Stable Diffusion and Flux dev are the standards. Most of these prompts are written generically so they work in any of them.

Do you have a prompt generator?

Yes — try the free AI image prompt generator in our tools section. It expands a simple idea into a fully styled, model-ready prompt you can paste straight into your generator of choice.
