Shape & model
Ratio

Original uses the closest supported ratio to your photo. A new ratio may change the framing.

Faces and fine details can change with either model. The cost shown applies to each generation.

Download format

Recorded prompt and result notes

Replace only the background behind this woman with a softly blurred modern office in neutral gray tones. Keep her face, age, skin tone, skin texture, hair silhouette, smile, teeth, earrings, necklace, pink shirt, body pose and framing unchanged. Do not beautify, retouch, change clothing, add people, crop or zoom. Return one realistic edited photo.

All three outputs replaced the background with a blurred office. The main facial features, smile, jewelry and pink shirt remained recognizable. Skin texture and hair were redrawn. This is not identity verification or an unchanged original portrait.

How to use this template

Start with your photo, then adapt the instructions to what is actually in it.

  1. Upload a suitable photo.

    One well-lit portrait with visible facial features. Use a photo you own or have permission to edit.

  2. Describe one bounded change.

    Describe your preferred background. Use one clearly visible person. Edit both instruction fields if their examples do not match your photo.

  3. Inspect before downloading.

    For exact likeness, retain the original person and composite a background; that workflow is not available here yet. Comparing and downloading an existing result are free.

What happened in our three attempts

One input, one recorded prompt and three independent GPT Image 2 requests on 2026-11-12. These are exploratory examples, not a success-rate benchmark or a guarantee for your photo. The editable starting instructions above adapt the recorded prompt; they have not been separately benchmarked.

GPT Image 2 · 2026-11-12 · three independent requests on one input. Model API charges: $0.0255 for this group; these are research costs, not the site's credit price. Display images are resized WebP copies without retouching.

The research used our model adapter rather than the complete account, billing and download flow. A completed image that does not meet your preferences still uses credits. See the pricing and failure rules.
