Photo edit prompt
Change the background (keep you the same)
Change the background (keep you the same): a free, copy-paste prompt for Gemini and ChatGPT. Upload your photo, paste the prompt, and fill in any [BRACKETED] fields.
The prompt
Replace the background of this photo with [NEW BACKGROUND, e.g. a sunny beach in Goa at golden hour]. Keep me — face, hair, body, clothes, and pose — exactly the same. Match the lighting direction, colour temperature, and shadows on me to the new scene, and blend the hair edges naturally so there are no cut-out halos. Photorealistic, same framing and aspect ratio as the original.
Pro tip: If the edges look fake, reply: “Blend the hair edges and match the light on my face to the background.”

Frequently asked questions
Which AI tools work with this prompt?
It is written for Gemini and ChatGPT. Both can edit a photo you upload.
What do I need to fill in?
Replace the field before you send it: NEW BACKGROUND. Each field shows an example in the prompt.
Will the AI change my face?
The prompt tells the AI to keep faces and identities the same, but results vary between runs. If a face drifts, regenerate or reply "keep the face identical to the original".
