What you will get

Your baby photo with toys, cables or boxes removed, a clean soft or neutral background and even light, while the baby’s face, skin and clothes stay unchanged.

Common mistake

The skin is smoothed and looks waxy.

Fix: Use the tip and write “keep the baby’s natural skin tone and texture, no smoothing or retouching of the skin”.

Also watch for

Part of a blanket or a hand disappears along with the clutter. Name what must stay: “keep the blanket, both hands and the pacifier exactly as they are”, and list only the items to remove.
The cleaned wall or floor looks smeared or blurry. Add “fill with a clean, sharp, plain background that matches the original light direction”.

Try a variation: space for a caption

Ask for “leave an empty plain area in the top corner where I can add the baby’s age in an editor”. Adding the text yourself avoids the garbled letters AI often makes.

Remove only the items I listed, keep the blanket, hands and clothes untouched, and do not smooth the baby’s skin.
