Best ChatGPT Image Prompts From The Video
Let’s get started with the prompts, and remember you can use them in any AI image generator.
All of the following screenshots can be enlarged by clicking on them.
ChatGPT Image Prompt
Transform the word “DIVE” as large letters formed from vibrant coral and sea life, small tropical fish swimming through the gaps between letters, sunlight rays filtering down through clear turquoise water. Soft caustic light patterns, minimal open water background, high-end underwater-photography style. 16:9 aspect ratio, with the text fully visible and comfortably within the frame.
Note the 16:9 aspect ratio. If you want vertical Tik Tok/Youtube shorts video, change the aspect ratio to 9:16.
Also by now you would have seen many ai images where the top of the image (person’s hair, for example) is cut off. To ensure this doesn’t happen i’ve used the term “with the text fully visible and comfortably within the frame“, in the prompt.
