If you have seen people type something like /headshot when creating an image with ChatGPT, you may wonder what other commands can be used.

The important thing to understand is that these are slash-style image prompts/codes designed to quickly describe the type of image you want. Depending on the ChatGPT interface and features available to you, a particular slash command may not exist as an official built-in command.

You can still use the code as a shortcut for your prompt.

For example:

/headshot

Then describe what you want:

Create a professional studio headshot of a young man wearing a black suit, clean background, realistic photography, soft lighting.

The 200 codes below are organized by image type.

The Real Power Comes From Combining the Codes

The biggest trick is not simply knowing 200 codes.

It is knowing how to combine a code with a detailed description.

For example:

/headshot

Create a professional headshot of a young Ghanaian entrepreneur wearing a black suit, dark blue studio background, soft lighting, realistic photography, confident expression, premium corporate style.

Or:

/productadvertisement

Use the uploaded smartphone as the exact product. Place it on a futuristic dark desk with blue neon lighting, dramatic reflections and premium technology advertising style.

You can also combine an image type with a specific visual style.

For example:

/cinematic + /portrait

Create a cinematic portrait of the uploaded person standing in a dark city at night, dramatic lighting, shallow depth of field and realistic photography.

Or:

/infographic + /cybersecurity

Create a simple infographic explaining how phishing attacks work, using five clear steps and easy-to-read labels.

What Should You Upload?

The most important thing is knowing when to upload an image and when not to.

If you want to transform a person

Upload a clear photograph of the person.

Then use codes such as:

/headshot

/fullbody

/suit

/fashionphoto

/cinematicportrait

If you want to redesign a building

Upload a photograph of the existing building.

Then use:

/architecturalredesign

/facaderedesign

/modernizebuilding

/luxuryredesign

If you want to advertise a product

Upload a clear photograph of the product.

Then use:

/productphoto

/producthero

/productadvertisement

/productlifestyle

If you want to create a flyer

Upload the important assets such as your logo, product or person’s photo.

Then use:

/flyer

/businessflyer

/eventflyer

/productflyer

If you want an explainer image

You usually do not need to upload anything.

Simply describe the topic.

For example:

/howitworks — Explain how Wi-Fi works using a simple visual diagram that a beginner can understand.

Don’t Stop at the Code

A code by itself is only the starting point.

The more specific your description is, the easier it becomes to get the image you actually want.

Instead of:

/flyer

Try:

/flyer Create a modern promotional flyer for a Ghanaian phone accessories business. Use a black and electric-blue theme. Feature wireless earbuds, phone cases and chargers. Leave a clear area for the business name, WhatsApp number and price. Premium commercial design, clean typography, realistic product photography.

Instead of:

/youtubethumbnail

Try:

/youtubethumbnail Create a high-contrast YouTube thumbnail about generating images with ChatGPT. Put the uploaded person on the left with a surprised expression and several different AI-generated images on the right. Add large readable text saying “CREATE ANY IMAGE”. Make it visually exciting but not cluttered.

That is where these codes become much more useful.

They give you a starting point, while your description tells the AI exactly what you want.

Final Tip

You don’t need to memorize all 200 codes.

Save this article and come back whenever you need to create something.

Whether you’re making a profile picture, business flyer, YouTube thumbnail, product advertisement, building concept, fashion photograph, infographic, logo, food image, social-media graphic, technology illustration or futuristic AI scene, there is a starting code in this list for it.

And when one code isn’t enough, combine it with a detailed prompt.

The code tells ChatGPT what type of image you’re trying to create. Your prompt tells it what the image should actually look like.
