How to Write Better Prompts

Improve your AI-generated content with effective prompt writing techniques.

Basic Principles

Be Specific

Prompt	Quality
"a dog"	Vague
"a golden retriever puppy"	Better
"a golden retriever puppy playing fetch in a sunny park, soft natural lighting"	Best

Include Key Elements

A good prompt typically includes:

1. Subject — What is the main focus? ("a woman", "a mountain landscape")
2. Action/Pose — What is happening? ("walking", "sitting", "smiling")
3. Setting — Where is it? ("in a café", "on a beach at sunset")
4. Style — What look? ("photorealistic", "watercolor", "cinematic")
5. Lighting — What mood? ("golden hour", "studio lighting", "dramatic shadows")
6. Quality — Technical keywords ("high quality", "detailed", "8K")

Examples

Image Generation

Portrait of a young woman in a vintage bookstore, warm amber
lighting filtering through dusty windows, shallow depth of field,
shot on 35mm film, soft grain, photorealistic

Video Generation

A drone shot slowly rising above a misty mountain range at dawn,
revealing a vast forest below, cinematic, 4K quality

Motion Prompts (Image-to-Video)

The person slowly turns their head to the left, smiles gently,
and blinks naturally, subtle camera zoom
