Make Any Photo Look Like an Old Polaroid
One short sentence gives you faded color, soft focus and a white frame.
Before: A small boy in a white shirt and patterned tie looking up at a woman. After: The same scene as an aged Polaroid photo with a white border.
Drag the handle, or focus the image and use the arrow keys.
What this prompt changes
A familiar object is enough for the model: it adds the faded colors, soft focus and white border that people associate with instant film. Short prompts work when the style has one obvious look.
Adapt it
- Add "with a handwritten caption" for a label under the photo.
- Say "keep the faces sharp" if the soft focus blurs people.
