Turn your character into 37 different assets, styles and formats using ChatGPT Image.

How to use these commands

  1. Upload a photo or character reference to ChatGPT.
  2. Type one command, such as /charactercutout.
  3. Let ChatGPT transform it.

You can use the command on its own, or add normal instructions after it:

Example
/charactercutout Keep the hairstyle, outfit and colours recognisable. Use a transparent background.

These are informal descriptive prompt shortcuts, not official built-in ChatGPT commands. They have not all been personally tested, and ChatGPT may interpret them differently between images or runs.
