A Gemini couple photo prompt turns a photo of you both into a new scene, from a Sunday café or a retro film look to a travel backdrop, while keeping both faces unchanged. Upload one photo of you together, or two separate photos, to the Gemini app, paste a prompt and fill in the [brackets]. My key tip: say who's who.
Couple photos are tricky. One of you blinks, the light's wrong, or you didn't get that shot on holiday. Gemini lets you start from a photo you've already got and love and give it a new setting or mood, from a lazy Sunday café to a vintage film look.
Upload one photo of you both, or two separate photos. Google says you can upload several images and ask Gemini to create a new image based on them. Then paste a prompt, fill in the [brackets], and make sure your partner's happy with the result before it's shared anywhere. If it isn't quite right, you'll find it's easy to fix by replying under the image.

How to get better couple photo results
- Pick a photo where both faces are sharp and similar in size; it'll keep the likeness.
- Say who's who, for example "the woman on the left", so faces stay on the right person.
- Describe the style, the scene and what you're both doing, which matches Google's own prompt tips.
- Reply under the image to fix one detail at a time.
- Only use photos you're both happy with, and check together before sharing.
