AI prompt templates
98 prompts that already work, for text, images, video, voice, music and code. Replace the [PLACEHOLDERS] and hit generate — every template opens the matching tool with the text pre-filled. Free to browse, no account needed.
How to use one
- 1. Replace every placeholder. Anything in square brackets is a decision the template is deliberately leaving to you. A prompt left with
[SUBJECT]still in it generates a picture of the word. - 2. Keep the parts you don't understand. The lighting, lens and style words are doing the work. They are what separates these from a one-line description, so cut them last, not first.
- 3. Change one thing at a time. Rewrite the whole prompt and you learn nothing about which word moved the result.
- 4. Save what worked. A template you have adapted once to your own brand is worth more than any library — including this one.
New to this? The image guide and the video guide explain why these prompts are shaped the way they are.
