Classic Polaroid Selfie

Works with: Gemini · ChatGPT (any AI image editor)

The viral instant-photo look: white frame, harsh flash, faded colors — like a real Polaroid pulled from a family album.

Transform this photo into a classic Polaroid instant photo. Keep my exact facial features, do not change my face. Add the iconic white Polaroid frame with a thicker bottom border, direct on-camera flash lighting, slightly washed-out colors, soft film grain, and a subtle motion blur in the background. The photo should look like it was taken at a house party in the 1990s and pinned to a fridge.

How to use it

1. Open Gemini or ChatGPT and attach your photo.
2. Paste the prompt below — tweak details like clothing or setting if you like.
3. If the face drifts, add: 'Do not alter my facial features in any way.'
4. Save the result — then animate it with a Step 2 prompt.
