You'll need
A clear photo to upload
Status
Tested 28 Sep 2026 in Gemini app (web), Flash mode with built-in image generation
Test settings
Reference photo: an AI-generated picture of a fictional family of six (not a real person), made in Gemini for this test. Uploaded with the default copy text unchanged in a new Gemini chat. First result used; only converted to WebP.
Variability
Faces, poses and small details vary between runs; always compare the result with your own photo. In this test the reference had six people and the example shows five; in five more tries on 28 Sep, Gemini again left one person out or added an extra person. Gemini adds a small sparkle watermark in the corner.
Prompt
Use the uploaded photo as the reference for every family member. Preserve each person's recognisable face, natural skin tone, age and relative height as closely as the model permits; check each person against the reference and keep children looking their real age.
Scene: a snowy slope near Gulmarg, pine trees dusted white, a small snowman half-built nearby.
Moment or Pose: a playful snowball fight; a child mid-throw, a parent ducking and laughing, grandparents or another adult watching with gloved hands clasped.
Clothing: bright puffer jackets, woollen caps and gloves.
Light: soft overcast daylight with gentle falling snow, bright but not blown out.
Camera: 70mm lens at child height, f/2.8, fast shutter to freeze snowflakes and flying snow.
Style: cheerful candid winter photograph, clean cool tones with warm skin.
Format: vertical 4:5.
Avoid: changed faces, extra limbs, faces hidden by scarves, grey muddy snow, plastic skin, text, watermarks.

Customise

For example: Gulmarg.

For example: bright puffer jackets, woollen caps and gloves.

Good to know

  • With five or more people, AI tools often leave someone out or add a stranger — count everyone in the result and regenerate if needed. Caps and scarves can also cover features, so keep faces fully visible in your upload.
  • Use reference photos you have the right to use; get consent from identifiable people.
