Recently, I kept hitting the same wall in AI art: I'd find an image with a style I loved, but recreating it in Stable Diffusion or Midjourney meant guessing at the prompt for far too long. Writing prompts from scratch is slow and inconsistent.
So I built the reverse: a tool where you upload an image and get a detailed, ready-to-use prompt back. This post walks through how it works and the decisions behind it.

The core idea
Instead of prompt → image, go image → prompt. Feed a picture into a vision-language model, and format its output into a prompt describing the subject, style, lighting, and composition — something you can paste straight into Midjourney, Flux, Stable Diffusion, or DALL-E.
