Model guides
How to write prompts for every major AI model
Each model reads prompts differently. Pick yours to see its prompt formula, the parameters that matter, mistakes to avoid and examples to copy.
Image models
- How to Write Midjourney PromptsA strong Midjourney prompt names the subject first, adds a short list of style, lighting and camera details, and ends with parameters such as --ar for aspect ratio and --stylize for how artistic the result should be.
- How to Write OpenArt PromptsOn OpenArt the best prompt depends on the model you pick, so write a clear subject-first description, add a negative prompt where the model supports one, and use guidance, seed and reference images to refine the result.
- How to Write Flux PromptsFlux works best with clear, natural-language sentences that describe the subject, scene, lighting and camera in order, with any text you want rendered placed inside quotation marks.
- How to Write Ideogram PromptsIdeogram prompts work best when you put the exact text in quotation marks, describe the layout and typography in plain words, and choose a style type and aspect ratio that fit the design.
- How to Write Leonardo AI PromptsA good Leonardo AI prompt describes the subject, art style, lighting and composition in clear phrases, then uses the platform's model choice, negative prompt, Elements and image guidance to lock in the look.
- How to Write DALL-E 3 PromptsDALL-E 3 responds best to clear, conversational descriptions of a scene written as full sentences, with the format and any changes requested in plain language rather than special flags.
- How to Write Stable Diffusion PromptsA Stable Diffusion prompt lists the subject and the most important details first, uses (word:1.2) weighting to emphasize key terms, pairs with a negative prompt, and is tuned with CFG scale, steps, sampler and seed.
Video models
- How to Write Runway PromptsA good Runway prompt states the camera movement, describes the scene and subject, then explains the motion that happens during the clip, written as simple direct sentences without negative phrasing.
- How to Write Pika PromptsPika prompts work best as one or two short sentences naming the subject, its action, the setting and a simple camera move, optionally starting from an image and adding Pika's built-in effects.
- How to Write Kling AI PromptsKling prompts work best when they describe the subject, the specific physical motion, the setting, the camera movement and the lighting in clear sentences, with a negative prompt for artifacts you want to avoid.
- How to Write Luma Dream Machine PromptsLuma Dream Machine responds well to natural, descriptive sentences that set the scene, the subject's motion and a camera move, with keyframes and loops available for more control.
- How to Write Hailuo MiniMax PromptsHailuo MiniMax prompts work best as concise descriptions of a character's action and expression, the setting and the camera movement, using the bracketed camera commands supported by its director models.
