1980s family album photo prompt
This prompt turns a group photo into a 1980s family album picture. It restyles clothes and hair for the era, places everyone in a setting such as a living room with a CRT TV, and adds on-camera flash and the yellow tint of an old print, keeping every person in the frame.
The prompt
Turn this group photo into a 1980s family album picture. Keep every person's face, identity, age, and skin tone exactly the same, and keep everyone in the photo. Restyle clothes and hair in 1980s fashion, and place the family in [SETTING, e.g. a living room with a CRT TV, lace curtains, and a wall calendar]. Look: on-camera flash, warm faded colours, soft grain, a rounded-corner print with a slight yellow tint, and an orange date stamp reading [DATE, e.g. 12 8 '86] in the corner.
Pro tip: Works best with 2–6 people. For bigger groups, add “do not remove anyone”.

Frequently asked questions
Which AI tools work with this prompt?
It is written for Gemini and ChatGPT. Both can edit a photo you upload.
What do I need to fill in?
Replace these fields before you send it: SETTING, DATE. Each field shows an example in the prompt.
Will the AI change my face?
The prompt tells the AI to keep faces and identities the same, but results vary between runs. If a face drifts, regenerate or reply "keep the face identical to the original".
Is my photo uploaded to PromptUp?
No. PromptUp only gives you the text of the prompt. You upload your photo directly to the AI tool you choose, under that tool's own privacy terms.
