Tips for writing Instagram Story prompts
Put text requirements first and keep them minimal. State exactly what words must appear and limit it to 2 or 3 lines max.
Describe where to place the text and any other visuals.
Tell Photoroom where to leave "white space" or "negative space" for better image composition.
Name specific colors, if colors are important.
Example:
We used the prompt below to create this Instagram Story image:
Text overlay (required, do not omit): "SALE NOW ON" as a large, bold headline in the lower-middle third of the frame. "ACME" in small letter-spaced capitals in the upper third. No other text.
Style: bold, energetic, contemporary retail photography. High contrast, vibrant, graphic rather than soft or editorial.
Setting: a solid mustard yellow background, evenly lit, minimal shadow.
Composition: one curved sofa in teal, positioned slightly off-center in the lower two-thirds of the frame, cropped at the edges for dynamism. Clear negative space in the upper third for the "ACME" text, and clear space in the lower-middle third for the "SALE NOW ON" headline.
Typography style: "SALE NOW ON" in a bold, heavy white sans-serif font. "ACME" in a smaller white or teal sans-serif font.
Mood: fun, loud, high-energy, urgent. No muted tones, no natural light, no soft shadows.
