GTA 6 filter: restyle a photo and keep your own background
To keep your own background, ask for the GTA 6 look and add “keep the room, the pose and the framing exactly as they are”. A kitchen selfie kept its fridge, plant and window; a couple’s street photo kept its parked cars and shop front. The palette still changes the light: the grey sky turned into a pink sunset. Unofficial and not affiliated with Rockstar Games.
Every edit needs a paid plan. Plans start at $19/month.
How do I use a GTA 6 filter on a photo?
- 01
Upload a clear photo
One person in focus works best. Whatever makes you recognisable (hair colour, beard, glasses, freckles) should be easy to see, because the ink style flattens fine detail.
- 02
Ask to keep the scene
Write “keep the kitchen (or street), the pose and the framing exactly as they are”. Without it the model may move you somewhere new.
- 03
Name what must stay
List hair colour, beard, glasses and clothes in the prompt. In our runs everything we named stayed; what we left out could change.
Same place, new style
Every result starts from a synthetic photo or from a text prompt alone. Open “Prompt we ran” under a result for the exact prompt, or copy the prompt card and swap in your own details.
1.A kitchen selfie, kitchen kept
The fridge, the plant, the window, the arm’s-length angle and the framing are all still there, redrawn in ink and the hot palette. Her wavy dark blonde hair, green T-shirt and smile stayed.
Prompt we ran
Redraw this photo in the style of Grand Theft Auto VI key art: a hand-painted digital illustration with bold black ink outlines, cel-shaded colours and hard-edged shadows, in a hot sun-bleached palette of magenta, coral, orange and turquoise. Keep the kitchen, her pose and the framing exactly as they are. Keep her likeness: shoulder-length wavy dark blonde hair, faded green T-shirt and smile. No text or logos.
Suggested model: Nano Banana 2.1
2.A couple on their street, street kept
The sidewalk, the parked cars and the shop front stayed where they were. Her curly hair and green scarf and his glasses and stubble stayed too. The overcast sky became a pink sunset: the palette changes the light even when the background stays.
Prompt we ran
Redraw this photo in the style of Grand Theft Auto VI key art: a hand-painted digital illustration with bold black ink outlines, cel-shaded colours and hard-edged shadows, in a hot sun-bleached palette of magenta, coral, orange and turquoise. Keep the street, the parked cars, their pose and the framing exactly as they are. Keep both likenesses: her curly dark hair, his glasses, their clothes and their smiles. No text or logos.
Suggested model: Nano Banana 2.1
Keep it recognisable, and keep it yours
- Name what must stay: hair colour, beard, glasses, eye colour and clothes. What we named stayed in our runs; what we did not name could change.
- Expect the ink lines to sharpen faces and add a few years. GPT Image 2.5 drew softer faces where we compared it.
- Check what the model added: extra people, signs with invented words, real car badges. Ask again with “no text, logos or brand badges”.
- Do not add the game’s logo, title or characters, and do not present a result as official artwork.
- Only restyle photos of yourself or of people who agreed. An illustration of a real person is still that person.
Which model to use
Every model runs in the same app and draws from the same credits. The table shows web app prices; the credits under each result are what that API run was charged.
| Model | Credits | On Starter | Use it for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nano Banana 2.11K | 9 | $0.171 | Most results on these pages: holds the ink outlines and the palette. 14 credits at 2K for wallpapers and banners. |
| GPT Image 2.5high quality | 11 | $0.209 | The buttons on these pages open it with Detail on, which keeps the price and takes about twice as long. Softer, more painterly faces; our comparison runs, made with Detail off, are on the profile picture, portrait and character portrait pages. |
| Muse Imageone size, about 2.5 MP | 2 | $0.038 | The cheapest way to try a prompt before you spend more. |

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between this and the AI filter guide?
Here each prompt is written for its photo. The GTA 6 AI filter guide runs one fixed prompt on several photos, like a filter button.
Can I keep the original light too?
Add “keep the original daylight and sky”. Without that line the hot palette pushed our grey day to sunset.
Is this an official GTA 6 tool?
No. It is an unofficial, fan-style look made with general image models from a prompt. AI Media Studio is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive. Grand Theft Auto and GTA are their trademarks, named here only to describe an art style. Leave the game’s logo, title and characters out of what you make.
Is there a GTA 6 button or preset?
Yes. The GTA 6 preset library opens Studio with an editable image or video prompt and the model already picked. The buttons on this page open the image composer with the look typed in, and you add what must stay. The prompts on this page are the ones we ran.
How much does it cost? Is there a free option?
One picture costs 2 credits on Muse Image, 9 on Nano Banana 2.1 at 1K or 11 on GPT Image 2.5 in the web app. AI Media Studio has no free tier. Every edit needs a paid plan. Plans start at $19/month.
