  • A figure on a misty forest path
  • A spectral library portrait
  • A softly glowing cat

How it works

Create with the Ghost Filter in Three Steps

  1. Step 1

    Upload a photo or write a description

    Use a clear photo of one person or pet with a visible background. Avoid extreme close-ups or a subject hidden by objects. Background texture makes the translucent effect easier to see. You can also describe a new image without uploading a photo.

  2. Step 2

    Choose the details and generate

    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.

  3. Step 3

    Review the details and download

    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

Ghost Filter: Details to Look For

Translucency with a readable silhouette

The main effect is a subject that partly reveals the scene behind it. Keep the face and outline recognizable so the image reads as a ghostly version of the original, not a random blur.

A restrained glow and thin mist

A pale blue edge light and a little low mist create the atmosphere. Describe the amount in words if you want a quieter result. Excessive fog can hide the face and background that make the comparison useful.

Keep the scene as a reference

Use a photo with clear space around the person or pet. Existing walls, trees and furniture give the model something to show through the translucent subject. Inspect those structures for continuity after generation.

Prompt ideas

Three Directions to Start With

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.

Cool glow beside a window

A translucent adult woman in an opaque pale blue long-sleeved dress standing beside an old house window, recognizable face, faint wall texture visible through her clothed torso, soft cyan-white edge glow, restrained mist near the floor, quiet moonlit photography.

A figure on a misty forest path

A translucent adult man wearing a plain long dark coat on a misty forest path, coherent face and silhouette, tree trunks faintly visible through the coat, pale blue rim glow, non-graphic atmospheric photograph.

A spectral library portrait

A translucent adult woman in a plain cream sweater sitting in a library armchair, blank unlabelled book spines faintly visible through her clothed figure, cool edge light and a little floor mist, calm expression, cinematic photograph.

Ways to use it

Ideas for Your Next Image

Halloween portraits

Create a spectral portrait for a seasonal post or invitation. The effect can look eerie without injuries, gore or a threatening expression.

Fantasy character references

Show how a ghostly character might appear in an ordinary environment. Combine a clear silhouette with one simple lighting direction.

Pet photo effects

Try a softly glowing version of a cat or dog. Keep ears, paws and the face visible so the pet remains identifiable.

Atmospheric story images

Build a still image for a fictional scene in a library, forest or house. A single subject gives the transparency effect room to read.
