Getting Started with Text2Filter

Text2Filter allows users to create personalized filters through text prompts. By simply describing the desired style or look, Text2Filter automatically transforms you into the prompted scenery while keepping your liekness.

What Are the Prerequisites?

  • A clear, front-facing face image of the user.
  • The face should be well-lit, unobstructed, and sharp for best results.
  • That’s it — no masks, reference images, or additional settings needed.

What are good input images?

The quality of your result depends heavily on the quality of your input photo. Below are examples and tips to get the best results possible.

✅ DOs — What Works Best

  • Use well-lit photos (natural light is ideal)
  • Ensure the face is fully visible (no sunglasses, hands, or obstructions) and makes up around 1/3 to 1/2 of the image; the more details visible the better
  • Choose high-resolution images with clear, sharp details
  • 📸 See examples of good input photos to understand how to set it up

🖼️ Aspect Ratios Matter

  • Landscape: Great for scenery and wide shots. Can crop people.
  • Portrait: Ideal for character-focused compositions.
  • Square: The most universal and balanced format.

✅ Prompting Do’s

  • Be specific but concise (avoid storytelling)
  • Use keywords
  • Use negative prompts to block what you don’t want
  • Choose a matching aspect ratio

❌ What to Avoid

  • Don’t say "an astronaut without a helmet" → that might still include a helmet

  • Instead use:

    • Positive: an astronaut
    • Negative: helmet
    • Don't combine too many visual ideas at once
    • Don’t add any mask to the subject, the face should be visible
    • Don’t drastically change the camera angle compared to the input image

📌 Final Tips

  • Start simple and build complexity slowly
  • If your image fails, simplify the prompt or change the camera style
  • Use visual keywords like "dramatic lighting", "soft focus", or "high contrast" for clarity
  • Adding gloves to the subject can reduce the chance of deformed hands
