Cosmic portrait trend: 5 prompts to try

Why it's trending
Space backdrops look dramatic without hiding the person, which makes them popular as profile pictures and phone wallpapers. A galaxy glow also flatters most outfits because the light, not the clothes, sets the colour.
How to make it
- Pick a clear, well-lit photo where your face is not in shadow.
- Choose a prompt above and set the nebula or glow colours in Customise.
- Copy the prompt, open ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok, upload the photo and paste it.
- Check that your skin tone still looks like yours under the coloured light.
Tips
- Cool colours like violet and teal look most like deep space.
- Ask for neutral light on the face if the coloured glow tints your skin.
- A square crop works best for a profile picture.
- For group shots, use photos where everyone faces the camera.
Use photos with care
Use your own photo, or photos of people who have agreed to the edit. Coloured light should never be used to lighten or change skin tone; ask for true skin colour if it shifts.
Questions
Will the stars cover my face?
The prompts ask for the face to stay clear, with stars and glow only around it. If stars spill over the face, ask the model to move them behind.
Can I use this as a phone wallpaper?
Yes. Change the format in the prompt to vertical 9:16 before you copy it.
Is there a version for two people?
Yes. One prompt is for a couple on a tiny moon and one is for friends under a meteor shower.
