Retro Image Prompt is a specialized AI image generation tool designed for authentic vintage aesthetics. Powered by Google Nano Banana, it supports both Text-to-Image (T2I) and Image-to-Image (I2I), enabling you to transform text descriptions or your own photos into visuals that feel like they were pulled straight from a VHS tape, a 90s magazine, a 70s psychedelic poster, or even 8-bit pixel art. With curated retro styles and structured prompts, you get consistent, high-quality vintage AI art—without dealing with complex settings.

A retro image prompt is a structured instruction that tells an AI model to generate visuals in a nostalgic or vintage style. A typical prompt includes:

• Subject – the main focus (e.g., a person, couple, or product).
• Era or medium – such as VHS, Polaroid, Film Noir, or 8-bit pixel art.
• Rendering cues – like lighting, grain, scanlines, or halation.
• Mood – nostalgic, dreamy, mysterious, glamorous, etc.

Example:
“portrait of a couple, 1980s VHS still, soft CRT scanlines, warm halation, film grain.”

With Retro Image Prompt, you can either craft prompts manually or simply pick a preset retro style and let the system generate the perfect nostalgic look.

1. Open the Generator (homepage) and select a retro style.
2. Write a clear description of your subject, framing, and mood.
   Example: “street fashion portrait, 90s magazine style, glossy paper texture, bold typography feel, warm tones.”
3. Click Generate to create the image.
4. Refine results by adjusting your prompt or using Regenerate for variations.

Tips for better T2I results:

• Be specific: “70s psychedelic poster,” “80s VHS thriller still,” “90s editorial fashion.”
• Add rendering cues: “soft halation,” “CRT scanlines,” “paper grain.”
• Keep it concise, use commas to separate attributes.

1. Upload a photo (portrait, couple, or product).
2. Choose a retro style: Bollywood, Synthwave, VHS, 8-bit pixel art, Film Noir, 90s magazine.
3. Optionally, add a short description for context.
4. Click Generate—the model applies the style while preserving subject identity.
