A little time travel.

Retro Photo Prompts is an independent collection of free prompts for imagining yourself in another decade. Pick a style, customize the details and use the prompt in your own image-generation tool.

About the images

The gallery uses original AI-generated photographs of fictional adults, created with OpenAI image generation in September 2026. They illustrate the intended styles. They are not outputs verified against the copyable prompts, and are not before-and-after comparisons.

About the prompts

Our prompts are starting points. They have not yet completed a documented ChatGPT comparison test. Results depend on your reference photo and the model. This site is not affiliated with OpenAI or ChatGPT.
