The ChatGPT caricature prompt, plus 9 versions that keep your face

The trend started with one line: "Create a caricature of me and my job based on everything you know about me." It works in ChatGPT because the chat remembers your job. In a fresh chat, or in any other image model, it has nothing to go on, so faces drift and the props turn generic. The prompts below spell out the job, the props and the style, and they tell the model which features to keep so the caricature still looks like you.

  • 10 tested prompts
  • Made with GPT Image 2.5
  • Real outputs, unedited

Every caricature on this page was generated with GPT Image 2.5, the image model behind ChatGPT images, on MakeInfluencer.ai from one photo of our own AI character. Paste the same prompts into ChatGPT with your own photo. MakeInfluencer.ai is not affiliated with OpenAI.

The viral "me and my job" caricature prompt

The original trend format, rewritten with the job spelled out so it works in a new chat and outside ChatGPT.

Caricature of a smiling woman content creator at a desk with a camera, laptop and coffeeNo. 01GPT Image 2.5 · photo edit

Me and my job: content creator

Use the uploaded photo as the reference for the woman's face. Keep her instantly recognisable: same face shape, eyes, eyebrows, nose, smile, hairline, hair colour and skin tone. Draw her as a caricature: an oversized head on a small body, playfully exaggerated eyes and smile, affectionate rather than mocking.

Create a caricature of her and her job as a content creator who makes AI photo and video content. She sits at a small desk, waving at the viewer with a huge grin, a laptop showing colourful thumbnails with no readable text, a camera on a mini tripod, a ring of sticky notes, headphones around her neck and an oversized iced coffee. A cat sleeps on a pile of cables. Style: a polished digital caricature painting like the viral ChatGPT caricature trend, soft painterly shading, clean outlines, bright friendly colours, plain light background with a soft shadow under her feet.

Why these prompts work

Three rules behind every prompt on this page

  1. 01

    Say what to exaggerate

    A caricature is a likeness pushed in one direction. Name it: an oversized head, a bigger smile, bright eyes. Leave the rest of the face exactly as it is in the photo.

  2. 02

    Replace "everything you know" with facts

    The model cannot read your mind outside ChatGPT's memory. List your job and three or four props that only someone in that job would own.

  3. 03

    Pick one style and stick to it

    Glossy digital painting, boardwalk marker sketch or 3D cartoon. Mixing styles in one prompt is the most common reason caricatures look muddled.

How to write your own

How to write your own caricature prompt

The viral one-liner is a starting point. These five steps turn it into a prompt that works first time, in ChatGPT or anywhere else.

  1. 1

    Upload a clear photo

    Front-facing, face fully visible, good light. Caricatures exaggerate, so the model needs a sharp starting likeness.

  2. 2

    Lock the likeness

    List what must stay: face shape, eyes, eyebrows, nose, smile, hairline, hair colour and skin tone.

  3. 3

    Name the exaggeration

    Oversized head on a small body, bigger smile, brighter eyes. Keep it affectionate.

  4. 4

    Describe the job with props

    Your job title plus three or four props and one action: typing, pouring, tossing, pointing.

  5. 5

    Choose one style

    Glossy digital painting for the ChatGPT trend look, marker sketch for boardwalk style, or 3D cartoon. Add "no text" so signs and screens stay clean.
