Turn a Photo Into a Cutout-Window Carousel AI Prompt

This prompt translates the cutout-window look from short-form editing into a static carousel people can swipe through. It uses layered frames and tactile openings to create depth around the subject, while keeping the face and body consistent from slide to slide. The result feels designed and dynamic without depending on generated typography.

What This Prompt Changes

  • Builds three aligned portrait panels from one source photo or portrait
  • Adds layered paper or card windows that reveal different parts of the subject
  • Keeps face, clothing, lighting and scale coherent across every panel
  • Creates a dimensional swipe effect without unrelated collage pieces or fake text

How to Use It

Upload a portrait with clear edges around the subject. Choose a frame material such as torn paper, frosted acrylic, colored card or soft fabric, then ask for three equal 4:5 panels. Export the panels separately or keep the generated contact sheet as a design reference for Edits or another carousel tool.

Customize the Result

  • Try rounded windows, torn paper, archways, ticket slots, scrapbook frames or frosted glass
  • Let the face, hand, prop or garment cross a different opening in each panel
  • Use a minimal neutral palette, bold color blocks, magazine editorial or playful scrapbook styling

AI Photo Editing Prompt

PromptUse the uploaded portrait as the exact reference for the same adult's face, hairstyle, skin tone, clothing, body proportions and expression. Create a vertical 4:5 carousel design shown as three equal portrait panels with thin white gutters. Build a coherent pale-blue studio around the subject and layer tactile cream and peach paper frames with rounded cutout windows over the scene. Panel one reveals the subject's upper body through a tall opening; panel two centers the face inside a smaller rounded window; panel three lets one hand and a small branch pass through a side opening while the body remains naturally behind the paper. Make the windows feel physically stacked with believable paper edges and soft contact shadows. Preserve the subject's identity and color grade across all panels. Do not use a flat grid of unrelated images. Render no words, letters, numbers, labels, logo, app interface or watermark. Photorealistic editorial cutout-window carousel, vertical 4:5 per panel.
