AI Character Swap Prompts

The character photo prompt formula

• 1. Who

  An adult, described by role and look: “an adult football striker”, “an original fantasy knight”. Never a real person’s name.

• 2. Outfit and details

  Clothes, colours, hair and one or two strong details. Bold colours survive the swap better than fine patterns. No logos or badges.

• 3. Framing that matches your clip

  Full body for match, dance and wide shots; waist-up for close-ups and interviews. A mismatch makes the model invent the missing half.

• 4. Pose

  Facing the camera, neutral stance, arms and hands visible. The movement comes from your video, so the photo should not lock in a pose.

• 5. Light, background, style

  Even soft light, plain background, sharp focus, and the style you want: realistic photo, 3D animation or anime.

12 copy-ready character prompts

Paste one into your image tool, change the colours or details, and keep the framing, pose and background lines. Every prompt asks for an adult, original character with no logos.

Check the photo before you upload

• Face clearly visible

  No sunglasses, masks, heavy shadows or hair over the eyes. The face in the photo is what the model carries into every frame.

• One person only

  If the image tool adds a second person or a crowd, generate again. Crop out text and watermarks before uploading.

• JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB

  Most image tools export PNG. Download the full-size file, not a screenshot of the chat.

• Adult and original

  Prompt adult characters only, and do not ask for celebrities, real people or well-known studio characters. Content checks run on uploads and results.
