What worked
In the revised result, short curly hair, asymmetric hairstyle, round glasses, facial contour, nose shape, eye spacing, head direction, and smiling expression showing teeth were maintained. The entire head fits within the square frame, and the shoulders touch the bottom. A single avatar composed of black lines, black shapes, and white face on a white background, with no text, logos, or watermarks. Lip hatching lines and gray shading disappeared. Similarity is a visual comparison, not a biometric match determination.
What did not work
None after revision. Both attempts 1 and 2 before revision developed dense hatching lines on the lips, failing to meet the no-hatching condition. Those originals were kept in both before/after folders.
How to improve
Keep the same photo, white, and 1:1 ratio, and use the revised card prompt. We specified drawing the lips with a white face and a single outline, and confirmed that the hatching disappeared. Other background colors, generation without photos, and different ratios were not tested this time.

Full prompt 2,375 characters
Generate exactly one finished avatar illustration directly. Canvas: Output size 1080x1080 pixels, 1:1 square post. Keep all text fully readable., default 1:1. One centered head-and-shoulders portrait, large enough to read as a small profile icon. Keep all hair inside the frame with a narrow margin; shoulders extend to the bottom edge. Original minimalist editorial ink illustration: confident slightly irregular black contours, delicate interior lines, solid black hair masses, white facial planes, sparse expressive details. No gray shading, gradients, hatching, photographic texture or 3D. Draw lips with a single clean outline and white interior; keep skin unshaded. Describe curls with a few broad black shapes and widely spaced contour lines, not dense parallel strokes. Use only black fills, white areas and isolated contour lines throughout. Preserve distinctive facial anatomy instead of a generic cute face.
PHOTO: "【Photo】". This is attachment guidance, never visible text. When a photo is attached, use the largest foreground person only. Preserve face shape, eye spacing, nose and mouth shape, approximate age, hairstyle, glasses, facial hair, head angle and expression. Simplify clothing while retaining neckline and silhouette and removing branding. Do not change identity or beautify. PHOTO RULE: without an attached photo, never ask or stop; invent a distinctive fictional adult unrelated to recognizable real people and finish the illustration.
BACKGROUND: "【Background color】". White: #FFFFFF; Light gray: #EEEEEE; Cream: #FFF4DF; Pale sky blue: #DDEEFF. If blank, use white. Accept another color name or hex code as a custom flat background. Apply color to the edge-to-edge background only; face and clothing stay black and white. Keep black ink clearly legible.
Return one illustration, no comparison, inset, circular badge or mockup. No text, letters, numbers, names, captions, logos, signature, watermark, recognizable characters, branded visual systems or imitation of any named artist. Choice labels are internal and must never appear in the image.

[Final output format]
Output size 1080x1080 pixels, 1:1 square post. Keep all text fully readable.
This selected output format takes priority over any fixed canvas size or aspect ratio elsewhere in this template.

How to use it · FAQ

Use it

Turn a personal photo into a clean ink avatar for a profile or an about page. Keep distinctive facial structure, hair and accessories. The subject stays black and white while the background can be colored.

Fill the fields

No fields are required. Photo describes the attachment; typing a filename does not upload a photo. Attach one clear photo to an image AI, paste the copied prompt in the same message and send once. With several people, the largest foreground person is used. Without an attachment, create a fictional adult unrelated to recognizable real people. Choose White, Light gray, Cream or Pale sky blue, or supply another color name or hex code. A blank background defaults to white. Only the background changes color. The shared size control defaults to 1:1; other ratios retain the portrait composition.

Examples and checks

The example name is Haru. Each comparison places the original on the left and its result on the right at equal height. A cheerful curly-haired adult and a calm short-haired adult show different moods with the same ink treatment. The cover and standalone sample each show a different fictional person. Compare eye spacing, nose, jaw, glasses and hair part with the photo. If likeness is weak, use a clearer, closer photo with the same prompt. If hair is cropped, return to 1:1. Use photos you have permission to upload and check the external service's fees and terms.
