How to use
- Copy the prompt and fill in the placeholders in square brackets: specify gender and age, describe appearance and clothing.
- Insert the completed prompt into the tool of your choice - Midjourney, DALL-E 3 (ChatGPT), FLUX, or Stable Diffusion.
- Start the generation. If the AI tool supports aspect ratio parameters, specify --ar 3:4 (for Midjourney) for portrait format.
- From several options, choose one where the face is clearly centered, the background is plain, and the gaze is directed straight at the camera.
- If necessary, add details: nationality, hairstyle, or specific background color (e.g., light blue background - for certain document types).
- Save the image in high resolution and crop to the required format (3×4 or 35×45 mm) using any editor if needed.
Example result
- Style
- Photorealistic portrait, studio lighting
- Composition
- Frontal view, head centered, shoulders in frame, portrait orientation 3:4
- Background
- Plain white or light gray, no shadows or gradients
- Lighting
- Soft, even studio lighting, no harsh shadows on the face
- 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.
