The prompt

Change this daytime photo into a night scene. Keep all buildings, people and objects exactly the same.

Deep [COLOUR, e.g. blue] sky with stars, glowing windows and street lights, warm light spilling onto the ground, cool shadows, subtle reflections on wet surfaces. Realistic and moody, not too dark.

Pro tip: Ask for "blue hour" for a softer, more natural twilight look.

  2. Upload your photo (a clear, front-facing one works best).

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 the field before you send it: COLOUR. 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.
