🧠 Step 1: Open ChatGPT

🖼️ Step 2: Upload Your Image

  • Click the Upload Image button

  • Select your photo

  • Make sure the face is clear and visible

💡 Tip: Good lighting = better results

✍️ Step 3: Use the Prompt

Now comes the most important part — the prompt.

Scroll down 👇 copy the prompt, and paste it into ChatGPT.

⚡ Step 4: Generate the Image

  • Paste the prompt

  • Change your song name and artist name

  • Click Generate

  • Wait a few seconds

🎉 Boom! Your AI collage is ready.

🔧 Step 5: Fix Common Issues

If your image isn’t perfect, try this:

❌ Face looks different
✅ Add: “same face, identical facial features across all images”

❌ Too dark or dull
✅ Add: “bright warm golden lighting”

❌ Details missing
✅ Add: “ultra detailed, high quality, sharp focus”
