Advanced AI Prompt Tools & Techniques for Perfect Image & Video Generations

AI-generated images and videos have taken creativity to the next level. But if you’re struggling to get high-quality, visually stunning results, the problem isn’t the AI—it’s your prompting technique!

In this guide, we’ll cover:

The Science Behind High-Quality AI Prompts

A well-crafted prompt can distinguish between a stunning masterpiece and a random mess. AI models rely on detailed, structured inputs to generate precise results.

Best Approaches to Craft Effective AI Prompts

AI-generated visuals depend on precise prompts. Writing a great prompt from scratch is tough. A small tweak can change everything. Instead of guessing, you can use these proven methods to refine your prompts and get better results.

This method is best for refining vague ideas. Text AIs like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, or Perplexity can polish your wording and suggest better prompts.

Steps:

Describe what you want in simple terms. Example: "A futuristic city at night with neon lights and flying cars."
Ask the AI to enhance the prompt for an AI image generation Tool. Specify the tool you will be using for the generation (MidJourney, Stable Diffusion, Flux...)
Iterate if needed. Ask Ai to add details like style, camera angles, or lighting.

Example of Refining a Prompt with the help of Chat GPT:

I want to generate an ai image of "A futuristic city at night with neon lights and flying cars." using Comfyui , SDXL model. Please act as an expert at prompting for best ai image generations and enhance my prompt so the generation will deliver stunning results.

🎨 Enhanced Prompt:

"A breathtaking futuristic cityscape at night, glowing with vibrant neon signs and holographic billboards. Sleek skyscrapers with reflective glass and cyberpunk aesthetics rise into the sky, their edges softened by atmospheric fog. Flying cars with dynamic motion blur streak through the air, leaving behind trails of light. The streets below are alive with bustling crowds in high-tech fashion, illuminated by the ambient glow of streetlights and LED screens. Hyper-detailed, cinematic lighting, ultra-sharp textures, volumetric fog, 8K resolution, sci-fi dystopian atmosphere, Unreal Engine rendering style, concept art quality, highly detailed, cyberpunk-inspired, rim lighting, HDR, realistic reflections, neon bounce light, depth of field (bokeh background)."

Tip:

Ask for multiple versions so you can compare.

This method is best for matching a specific style. If you see an image with the look you want, you can reverse-engineer its prompt.

Steps:

Image to Text AI Tools

Extract prompts from multiple images, then combine elements for a unique style.

Save a collection of prompts you like for future reference.

Example of Extracting a Prompt from an Image:

FLUX Prompt Generator

The image shows a young man and a young woman in a coffee shop. The man is standing behind the counter, wearing a white shirt and a black apron, and is holding a cup of coffee in his hand. He is smiling and looking at the woman with a smile on his face. The woman is standing in front of him, holding a phone in her hand, and appears to be paying for the coffee. She is wearing a gray blazer and carrying a red briefcase. In the background, there is a coffee machine and a chalkboard with the word "Doffee" written on it. There are shelves with coffee cups and other coffee-related items on the left side of the image, and a window on the right side. The overall atmosphere of the coffee shop is cozy and inviting.

AI art communities are goldmines for discovering high-quality prompts, trending styles, and expert techniques. These platforms showcase stunning AI-generated images. AI artists share their best prompts and techniques online. You can reverse-engineer successful prompts and improve your own by exploring the prompts and images.

Steps:

Join AI art forums and Discords (MidJourney, Stable Diffusion, Leonardo).
Visit AI Libraries
Look at shared prompts and study their structures.
Search for an image theme (e.g., "medieval fantasy city").
Click on an image you like and copy the exact prompt that was used.
Modify the prompt to fit your specific needs.

This method is best for complex images. Instead of writing one long sentence, build your prompt step by step.

Steps:

Subject: Define the main object or character (e.g., "a futuristic samurai")
Style: Add artistic influences (e.g., “inspired by Ghost of Tsushima, cinematic lighting”)
Details: Describe elements like clothing, environment, or emotion (e.g., “wearing cyber armor, standing in neon-lit rain”)
Camera & Lighting: Adjust realism (e.g., “shot on a 50mm lens, soft glow”)

Negative prompts act as a filter, telling the AI to avoid certain elements during generation.

By using negative prompts, you help the model refine the quality and accuracy of the generated results.

Steps:

Not all AI image generators rely heavily on negative prompting. Some have stronger built-in filters, while others require fine-tuning to get the best results.

Strongly Affected by Negative Prompts

Moderately Affected by Negative Promts

Less Affected by Negative Prompts

Examples of Full Negative Prompts by Category

blurry, noisy, distorted, pixelated, low quality, washed out, low resolution, overexposed, underexposed, lack of detail

anime, cartoonish, low contrast, abstract, surreal, unrealistic, sketch, line art, 3D render, plastic texture

extra fingers, extra limbs, mutated, deformed, bad anatomy, broken limbs, missing eyes, unnatural proportions, bad perspective

text, watermark, logo, signature, background clutter, shadows, reflections, artifacts, random symbols, strange objects

jerky movement, unnatural physics, unrealistic shadows, flickering, color shifts, broken animation, random morphing

Use negative prompts for removing distortions in faces and hands.

Conclusion

Writing the perfect AI prompt takes practice, tools, and smart techniques. Instead of guessing, use AI assistance, reference images, prompt databases, and structured formatting. The more precise your prompts, the better your results.
