Reusable Face Replacement

For an AI image editor (Nano Banana, Midjourney edit, Photoshop AI, etc.): upload two images. Image 1 is the face reference — the identity you want. Image 2 is the target scene — the body, pose, and setting you want to keep, whose face gets swapped for the one in Image 1. The result is Image 2 wearing the new face.

Replace the face of the person in Image 2 with the face from Image 1. Change nothing else in Image 2.

KEEP FROM IMAGE 2 (unchanged): body, physique, pose, clothing, armor, costume, accessories, hairstyle, environment, lighting, composition, camera angle, depth of field, color grading, textures, framing, and resolution.

TRANSFER FROM IMAGE 1: the exact facial identity and structure, including skin tone, facial proportions, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, and expression. The result must be recognizably the same person as in Image 1.

BLENDING:
- Integrate the new face into Image 2's neck, ears, and hairline with no visible seams. Adjust the hairline only where it naturally meets the new face.
- Match Image 2's lighting direction, shadows, highlights, color temperature, contrast, and sharpness.
- Match Image 2's skin texture, pores, and any sweat, dirt, or makeup, so the face carries the same grit and realism as the rest of the shot.
- Preserve natural imperfections and fine detail. The face must not look smoother, cleaner, or sharper than the surrounding image.
- Keep correct perspective and anatomical proportions for the camera angle.

AVOID: compositing seams, AI artifacts, mismatched skin texture, distorted or duplicated features, plastic or over-smoothed skin, and any uncanny appearance.

RESULT: a fully photorealistic image in which the person in Image 2 naturally has the face from Image 1, indistinguishable from a real photograph.

Featured prompt pack

AI prompts — frequently asked questions

What is an AI prompt?

An AI prompt is the instruction you give a tool like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini to get a useful result. A good prompt sets a role, gives context, and says exactly what output you want — which is why the copy-paste prompts on this page use fill-in-the-blank placeholders in [brackets].

Are these AI prompts free to use?

Yes. Every prompt on this page is free to copy, paste, edit, and use in your own work — no sign-up, no paywall, and no attribution required.

Which AI tools do these prompts work with?

All of them. These prompts are model-agnostic and work in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and most other chat-based AI assistants. For the best results, paste the whole prompt at once and replace the [bracketed] parts with your own details.

How do I write a better AI prompt?

Follow four steps: give the AI a role ("act as a recruiter"), add context (your situation, audience, or constraints), state the exact output you want (a list, a table, three options), then refine with a follow-up like "make it shorter" or "give me a bolder version." The second pass is usually where the answer gets good.

How often is the prompt library updated?

New prompts are added regularly across all five topics — AI & Work, Careers & Freelancing, Content & Marketing, Money, and Tech & Tools. Join the newsletter to get new drops as they go live.
