The prompt

PROMPT · EN
Transform the uploaded photo into a realistic paper sticker effect. Keep the original background fully photorealistic and unchanged. Convert all visible people into black-and-white hand-drawn paper sticker illustrations, while preserving the exact number of people, each person’s identity, face, hairstyle, outfit, accessories, pose, position, body proportions, and framing. Use clean black ink line art, subtle sketch shading, a thick white cutout border, and a soft natural drop shadow around each person so they look like physical paper stickers placed over the real photograph. Important: output only the final transformed image. Do not include the original photo as an inset, thumbnail, before-image, comparison image, collage, split screen, or picture-in-picture. Do not add or remove people, change clothes or poses, alter the background, add extra objects, text, logos, or watermarks.

Paste it in English exactly as written. It works best that way, even if you chat in another language.

Tips for the best result

  • Start with one person whose face, clothes, and pose are easy to see.
  • Try a full-body or three-quarter photo with clear separation between the person and the background.
  • For group photos with overlapping people or busy scenes, generate 2–3 versions and pick the most natural result.
  • Results vary by AI model and photo quality. Check faces, outfits, and the background before saving.
