How it works
Choose a sharp head-and-shoulders photograph of one adult with both eyes visible. A simple background and even light help the new studio setting remain coherent. Avoid group photos or heavily filtered portraits. You can also describe a new image without uploading a photo.
Add optional direction for the look you want. With a photo and no words, the starting treatment is applied automatically. Review the displayed credit cost, sign in when prompted, and generate one square image.
Compare the result with your source and inspect small details at full size. Download the image you want. A changed prompt and another generation start a separate run.
What shapes the result
A mottled backdrop and softly diffused frontal light give a yearbook portrait its familiar structure. Mention the background color when you want blue-grey, tan or muted lavender instead of leaving every detail to the model.
Try a collared shirt and cardigan, simple denim or a plaid layer. The intended result is an adult wearing nostalgic clothing. It should not make the person younger or imply that the image is a real school photograph.
Keep the composition centered on one person with a gentle shoulder turn. This page makes individual square portraits; it does not assemble a class grid, print a yearbook or add names and school records.
Prompt ideas
Name one subject or setting, then the visual treatment and light. With a photo, describe only the changes you want; the uploaded image supplies the reference.
An adult woman aged 32 with medium brown skin and wavy dark hair wearing a burgundy cardigan over a cream collared shirt, mottled blue-grey backdrop, softly diffused frontal flash, 1990s yearbook-style studio portrait.
An adult man aged 35 with light olive skin and short curly hair wearing an unmarked blue denim jacket over a white crew-neck shirt, warm tan mottled studio backdrop, gentle shoulder turn, 1990s yearbook-style portrait.
An adult East Asian woman aged 30 with a short dark bob wearing a forest-green knit sweater over a white collared shirt, soft grey-blue studio background, natural direct gaze, nostalgic yearbook photograph.
Ways to use it
Explore a 90s-inspired headshot while retaining your present-day features and age. A quiet backdrop keeps the portrait readable in a small profile crop.
Plan the clothes, colors and studio background for an adult reunion photo session. Use the generated image to communicate the visual direction.
Create a playful portrait to place in a separately designed invitation. Add dates and event information in your layout tool, after the image is finished.
Compare a denim look, a cardigan or a collared sweater. Hold the backdrop consistent to make the wardrobe differences easier to judge.
