AI pet photo prompts

Pets are made for AI photo edits. These prompts turn a photo of your dog or cat into a regal oil painting, a corporate headshot, a superhero, a watercolour or a festive portrait, and fix the common problems with pet photos, such as glowing flash eyes, motion blur and a messy background.

Each prompt asks the AI to keep the fur colours, markings and face exactly the same, so it is clearly your pet. The video prompts at the end bring a pet photo to life for a few seconds.

How to use it

Three steps, about a minute

  1. 1

    Take a sharp photo of your pet at their eye level, in daylight, looking at the camera.

  2. 2

    Upload it to Gemini or ChatGPT, paste the prompt and fill in the pet type and colours.

  3. 3

    Check the markings and eye colour. If they changed, describe them in the prompt.

Make it yours

  • Markings: "white socks on the front paws, black patch on the back" keeps it your pet.
  • Costume: a velvet cloak and crown, a superhero cape, a Diwali kurta or a Christmas jumper.
  • Gift: ask for a 4:5 canvas crop for printing.
  • Video: the photo-to-video prompts make a short clip of a blink, a tail wag or a head tilt.
