How it works
1
Upload one clear photo
Use a front-facing photo with even light and no sunglasses. One person works best; couples need a multi-reference model.
2
Keep the identity lines
The prompt protects the face, skin tone, body proportions, and the number of people. Change the costume and scene, not the person.
3
Edit once, then animate
Generate the still first. When the face and costume look right, send that image to an image-to-video model for a five-second clip.
Prompt recipe
This is the featured Midnight Braids recipe. Every look page includes its own editable image prompt and a separate motion prompt.
Open the image generator, upload your photo, and keep the identity-preservation lines intact. The prompt is written for an image-editing model, not a generic text-to-image prompt.
Use the uploaded photo as the primary reference. Preserve the subject's recognizable facial identity, facial proportions, skin tone, approximate age and natural anatomy. Transform the subject into an original gothic Halloween fashion portrait. Change the hairstyle into long violet braids decorated with delicate silver hair accessories. Replace the clothing with an elegant black-and-purple velvet outfit featuring subtle lace and metallic details. Place the subject in a moonlit Victorian garden with soft fog, glowing lanterns and dark autumn foliage. Use photorealistic editorial photography, realistic fabric textures, natural skin details and cinematic soft lighting. Keep the same number of people as the uploaded photo. Avoid altered facial identity, extra limbs, duplicated fingers, distorted anatomy, text, logos and watermarks.
Model routing
Each look can run on more than one model. Start with an identity-first model, then compare a scene-first edit when you need a stronger costume or background.

What can I make with the Halloween studio?+
You can generate a costume portrait from a text prompt, edit an existing selfie into a Halloween look, or animate a finished portrait into a short video. The eight looks are starting points; the prompt box stays editable.
Do I need a costume or a studio?+
No. The image model builds the costume, lighting, and background around your uploaded photo. A clear, front-facing photo gives the most reliable identity preservation.
Which models are used?+
The one-click routes use KIE models: Nano Banana Pro, Seedream 4.5 Edit, FLUX Kontext, GPT-4o Image Edit, Kling 2.1 Pro, Veo 3.1 Fast, Seedance 1.5 Pro, and Sora 2 Characters. WaveSpeed, Fal, and Replicate models are also connected in the model catalog; switch providers there before you spend credits.
