What Is a Personalized Wallpaper Prompt?
It is a prompt that uses your own photo as a face reference. Gemini keeps your face recognizable and places you in a new scene, outfit or art style. You can use the result as your lock screen, home screen or profile background.
Before You Start
All prompts below already include this line, but add it to any prompt you write yourself:
“Use the uploaded photo only as a face reference and keep my face clearly recognizable. Do not include the uploaded photo, any frame, collage or text in the final image.”

How to Use These Prompts in Gemini
- Open Gemini (app or website) and sign in.
- Upload one clear selfie.
- Paste your chosen prompt and send.
- Download the image and set it from Settings > Wallpaper.
- Refine with follow-ups like “make the lighting warmer,” “move me lower in the frame” or “add more petals.”
Tips for Better Results
- Use a sharp, front-facing selfie in good light, with no heavy filters or sunglasses. This matters most for likeness.
- Keep your face in the upper-middle area. Your clock and icons cover the top and bottom of the screen.
- If your face drifts, add: “Prioritize facial accuracy and keep the exact facial features from the uploaded photo.”
- If Gemini gives a square image, ask it to “recreate this in 9:16 portrait,” or crop it on your phone.
- Choose one aesthetic per wallpaper. Mixing too many styles can make the result messy.
- Generate 2 to 3 times and pick the best version.
- Upscale the image with a free AI upscaler if it looks soft on your screen.
Privacy Tips
- Upload only your own photos, or photos of people who have agreed.
- Don’t upload private or sensitive images.
- Check your AI tool’s data and privacy settings before uploading photos.
Easy Ways to Customize
- Change the outfit: “in a black leather jacket,” “in a white kurta,” “in a pastel dress.”
- Change the color palette: “in warm brown tones,” “in soft pastel green,” “in black and white.”
- Change the mood: “dark and moody,” “bright and happy,” “soft and dreamy.”
- Make it a couple wallpaper: Upload two photos and say “the first photo is person A, the second is person B.”
- Make it a desktop wallpaper: Replace “9:16 vertical” with “16:9 horizontal.”
