Details that shape your result
A useful image to image prompt connects each change to your story. These six details help guide the scene.
Precise edits
Replace "make it dramatic" with "change her smile to a wary glance toward the doorway." Describe the visible story moment and emotional shift the scene needs.
What to preserve
Name the facial features, clothing and key props to retain. Check the output against your reference for changes that affect continuity.
Style direction
Choose live-action realism, animation or illustration for your drama. Match the direction of adjacent scenes rather than mixing unrelated visual styles.
Lighting and atmosphere
Shift daylight to evening or add a warm interior glow. Match the story's mood while keeping faces and important action clearly visible.
Framing and placement
Describe a closer reaction shot or a wider view of the room. Explain where characters and key props belong within the frame to keep the story action clear.
Useful constraints
Specify no added text, watermarks or unrelated people. Keep essential story details visible and avoid instructions that conflict with the changes you want.
Image to image AI FAQ
Answers to help you refine references for your drama scenes.
What is image to image AI?
Image to Image AI combines a reference image with written instructions to create a related visual for your short drama. Use a character portrait, scene image or storyboard frame as the starting point, then describe the changes your story needs. You can explore costumes, expressions, locations and lighting while guiding the model with existing visual details. Results depend on the selected model, so review each image before using it in your production.
What should I include in an image to image AI prompt?
Tell the generator what changes and what should remain. Describe the character's expression, action, costume or surroundings in terms of the scene you are creating. Name the facial features, props and composition you want to retain, then add lighting or style instructions where needed. Focus on one visible story moment and avoid conflicting directions, such as asking for both an unchanged pose and a completely different body position.
Do I need to upload an image to use image to image AI?
Yes. This workflow requires a reference image to guide the result. Upload a character portrait, location image or scene frame that fits your drama, then describe the edit you want. The number of references allowed depends on the selected model and workflow. If you do not have an image yet, use Text to Image to explore your story's visuals first, then bring your chosen result into this workflow.
Can Image to Image AI keep my character consistent?
The generator can help carry a character's appearance into new scenes by using the same visual reference. Describe the face, hairstyle and distinctive details to retain, and specify the expression or setting to change. It does not guarantee an identical appearance in every result. Review each frame for continuity, refine mismatched details and choose the strongest image as a reference for your next video shot.
Can image to image AI results be used commercially?
Generated images can form part of dramas you publish or monetize, subject to our Terms of Service and the selected model's applicable terms. Check those conditions before commercial use. You must have the necessary rights to reference images, character likenesses, stories, brands and other protected material you use, along with any additional assets included in your finished drama.
