Cyberpunk filter
Upload a photo or describe a subject, then turn it into an original cyberpunk scene with saturated magenta and cyan rim light, deep shadow, wet reflective streets, holographic signage, and atmospheric haze. Direct the subject, camera height, neon colors, signage density, and how much of the frame stays dark.
Cyberpunk examples
How it works
Start with a photo or written subject. Add the camera height and distance, two neon colors and the side each one comes from, the wet or hazy surfaces you want, signage density, and how much of the frame should stay in shadow.
YouArt creates one 1K square cyberpunk image for 8 credits with neon rim light, reflective streets, atmospheric haze, and a high-contrast night grade.
Inspect the face, hands, chrome edges, puddle reflections, and any lettering at full size. Refine the brief if needed, then download your chosen image.
Cyberpunk light controls
Two saturated colors, usually magenta from one side and cyan from the other, keep an edge of the subject lit against the darkness. Name the colors and the side each one comes from instead of asking only for neon.
Reflective pavement, standing water, and thin atmospheric haze carry the light across the frame. Ask for rain, puddles, or steam when you want longer reflections and visible light beams.
Chrome trim, coated fabric, and glass give the neon something to catch, while a high-contrast night grade keeps most of the picture dark. Say which surface should read brightest and how far the shadows should fall.
Prompt ideas
Name one subject, the camera height, two neon colors and their direction, the wet or hazy surfaces, and how dark the rest of the frame should stay.
Close portrait of a courier in a high-collar coat, confident three-quarter pose, magenta rim light from the left, cyan sign glow behind the shoulder, wet pavement reflections below, thin haze, deep shadow across the background, centered square crop.
A narrow alley at street level after rain, stacked holographic signs in magenta and cyan, standing water reflecting the signage, cables and vents on wet brick, volumetric light through steam, one small figure for scale.
A chrome motorcycle parked low and side-on under a magenta sign, cyan reflections along the tank and exhaust, puddles around the tires, dark shuttered storefronts behind, fine rain visible in the light, high-contrast night grade.
Ways to use it
Turn a portrait into a night-lit character image with one bright focal edge, so it stays readable in a small square frame.
Explore near-future settings, palettes, and lighting directions before committing a scene to production art or a shot list.
Build one bright focal area against a dark field, then add the title and credits later in a layout tool.
Share a night-lit portrait, street, or vehicle whose single lit edge keeps the subject visible in a dark feed thumbnail.
