Do I need a prompt to create a Cinematic Portrait image?

Yes — this transformation is based on a high-quality prompt designed specifically for realistic Cinematic Portrait portraits, but it runs for you with one click instead of manual prompting.

How many credits does this cost?

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 cinematic portraits, that means preserving facial structure and identity first, then layering in dramatic lighting, film grain, and blockbuster-level color grading in the right order.

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

It prioritizes facial consistency, then introduces cinematic elements like professional key lighting, anamorphic lens effects, and movie poster composition — 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.
