How to use

  1. Copy the prompt and fill in the placeholders in square brackets: specify gender and age, describe appearance and clothing.
  2. Insert the completed prompt into the tool of your choice - Midjourney, DALL-E 3 (ChatGPT), FLUX, or Stable Diffusion.
  3. Start the generation. If the AI tool supports aspect ratio parameters, specify --ar 3:4 (for Midjourney) for portrait format.
  4. From several options, choose one where the face is clearly centered, the background is plain, and the gaze is directed straight at the camera.
  5. If necessary, add details: nationality, hairstyle, or specific background color (e.g., light blue background - for certain document types).
  6. Save the image in high resolution and crop to the required format (3×4 or 35×45 mm) using any editor if needed.

AI Tool
Midjourney v6, DALL-E 3, FLUX.2 Pro

Using this prompt, the AI generates a sharp portrait on a light background - the face occupies most of the frame, the gaze is direct, and the expression is neutral. The result meets standard ID photo requirements.

Tips and variations

  • Background color: For a Russian passport, use a white background (white background); for a Schengen visa, light gray (light gray background) is often required. Check requirements in advance.
  • Nationality and ethnicity: Add a specification like East Asian woman or Caucasian man to help the AI accurately render facial features.
  • Sharpening enhancement: In Midjourney, add the parameters --q 2 --stylize 0 for the most photorealistic and neutral result without artistic effects.
  • Alternative AI tools:

For ID photos, FLUX.2 Pro and DALL-E 3 are well-suited as they closely follow text instructions and generate realistic portraits. In Stable Diffusion, ControlNet can be used for precise pose and angle control.
