Do I need a prompt to create a Black & White Contrast image?

Yes — this transformation is based on a high-quality prompt designed specifically for realistic Black & White Contrast images, but it runs for you with one click instead of manual prompting.

For most people, yes. Writing prompts that preserve facial features while changing style is difficult. This action uses a tested prompt that's already optimized for consistent results.

1 credit per generation

How long does it take?

Usually 10-30 seconds depending on the complexity

Can I use the generated images commercially?

Yes, all generated images are yours to use as you wish

How This Works

Expert prompt writers don't start by describing the effect — they start by deciding what must stay the same and what's allowed to change.

For black and white portraits, that means preserving facial structure and expression first, then layering in high contrast, deep blacks, and beautiful grain texture in the right order.

This action uses a tuned AI prompt that applies those decisions automatically.

It prioritizes facial consistency, then introduces monochrome elements like dramatic shadows, tonal range, and professional film-like grain — without overwhelming the original photo.

The result is the kind of output you'd normally only get after writing, testing, and refining prompts multiple times, delivered in a single click.
