ChatGPT lets you turn photos into Superhero-Style AI Action portraits: Step-by-step guide with 10 trendy prompts

ChatGPT now has a fun feature that feels a lot like Google’s Gemini Nano Banana, the tool that went viral for turning selfies into quirky 3D action figures. With ChatGPT, users can do something similar through AI Action Portraits, where regular photos are transformed into superhero-style portraits.
The tool does not just add filters. Instead, it creates detailed, comic-book-inspired characters. Users can choose their own superhero name, pick costume designs, and even add pets or sidekicks into the picture. To make it more exciting, the portraits are shown inside a virtual action-figure box, complete with labels and packaging.
How to transform your photos into 3D AI Action Portraits
Getting started is easy: upload a photo into ChatGPT, describe the superhero look you want, and then tweak the details until you are happy. The AI quickly generates a 3D-style portrait that looks like it belongs on a movie poster or toy shelf.
Here are ten example prompts people can try out:
- Superhero Sky Dive
- Samurai Sword Strike
- Bullet-Dodge Matrix Style
- Storm Summoner
- Futuristic Gunfight
- Martial Arts Kick
- Dragon Rider Battle
- Shadow Assassin Leap
- Explosive Escape
- Gladiator Clash
