How to Use Presets

Presets are the fastest way to explore new looks, themes and creative styles inside PhotoGPT. With just one click, a preset applies a themed lighting, mood, outfit tone, scene style and color direction; while still keeping your face and identity consistent.

This guide walks you through:

• where presets are located and how to apply them
• how to customize results and edit/save your generated images

Presets are flexible. You can generate as-is or add your own details on top in simple text prompts.

What Are Presets?

A preset is a ready-made style you can apply instantly. It defines:

• the visual theme (e.g., cinematic, retro, beach, winter, studio)
• scene characteristics (lighting, tone, angles)
• stylistic decisions (mood, color palette, clothing and vibe)

Presets help you skip manual prompt writing for fast experimentation. If you’re new to PhotoGPT, start at the Image Generation tab and click on the Presets dropdown to discover styles you can generate in seconds.

Where to Find Presets in Your Dashboard

Presets are available directly on the left navigation inside your dashboard, image generation tab.

You can browse presets by typing in the search box or by simply scrolling through the full library.
There are over 100+ presets available across professional, cinematic, seasonal and fantasy styles.

You can also find the key presets and example images on our presets page.

Customizing a Preset With Prompts

Every preset includes a styling base, but you can add extra instructions to make the image more specific.

Examples:

• “close-up portrait, soft natural light”
• “winter outfit with scarf and beanie”
• “office background, confident expression”

Using Presets With Your Trained AI Model

If you’ve created a personal model, presets become even more powerful.

• The preset defines the style.
• Your trained model ensures the output still looks like you.

Choose your personal model for the most consistent results.

If you don’t have a model yet, you can create one in the Manage Models tab.
