GTA 6 style AI filter
GTA 6 AI filter: your photos and videos in GTA 6 cover art style
Upload a photo and ask for the look of the GTA 6 cover art: a hand-painted illustration with clean dark outlines, smooth painterly shading and a Vice City palette of hot pink, orange and teal. Then list what must stay: hair, beard, glasses, clothes. We ran it on a selfie, three friends, a dog and a car, built a cover-style panel poster, animated one result and restyled a street clip twice. One picture costs 2 to 11 credits, and a 5-second clip 85. This is an unofficial, fan-style filter: not affiliated with Rockstar Games.
Every edit needs a paid plan. Plans start at $19/month.
How do I turn a photo into GTA 6 style art?
- 01
Pick a clear photo
One face in focus works best, but groups, pets and cars work too. The style simplifies detail, so whatever defines the subject (hair, beard, glasses, paint colour) should be easy to see.
- 02
Ask for the look in words
There is no GTA button yet, so the look goes in the prompt. The buttons on this page open the editor with it already typed: “clean dark outlines, smooth painterly cel shading, a vivid Vice City palette of hot pink, orange and teal”. Add a setting if you want one, such as a beachfront boulevard with palm trees at sunset.
- 03
List what must stay
Hair colour, beard, glasses, clothes, how many people there are. To keep your own background, say “keep the room, the pose and the framing exactly as they are”.
- 04
Turn it into a clip
Open the result in the video composer and describe one action: that kept the look in our test. You can also put your own video into Remix and choose Restyle. That keeps the motion and gets the colours, but it drew a softer cartoon than the pictures.
12 GTA 6 style results from photos and clips
Every result starts from a synthetic photo or clip. Open “Prompt we ran” under a result for the exact prompt, or copy the prompt card and swap in your own features.
1.A selfie in the GTA 6 look, on three models
One hiking selfie, one prompt, three models. All three kept his grey hair, stubble, smile, navy T-shirt, backpack straps and the sunglasses on his head, and all three moved him to a palm-lined street of pastel buildings under a pink sunset. Nano Banana 2.1 is the most graphic and filled the street with neon signs. Muse Image is softer. GPT Image 2.5 is the most painterly and the closest likeness.
Prompt we ran
Redraw this photo in the style of Grand Theft Auto VI cover artwork: a hand-painted digital illustration with clean dark outlines, smooth painterly cel shading, glossy highlights and a vivid Vice City palette of hot pink, orange and teal. Put him on a Miami-style beachfront boulevard with palm trees and pastel art deco buildings under a pink and orange sunset sky. Keep his likeness: short grey hair, grey stubble, smile, sunglasses pushed up on his head, navy T-shirt and backpack straps. No text or logos.
Suggested model: Nano Banana 2.1
2.You do not have to name the game
Same photo and model, but this prompt never mentions GTA: it describes the art and says “like the cover art of an open-world crime video game set in a sunny Florida city”. The result has the same outlines, pastel buildings, palms and sunset. The description does the work, so you can reuse it for any subject. One thing drifted: his navy T-shirt came out teal.
Prompt we ran
Redraw this photo as a hand-painted digital illustration with clean dark outlines, smooth painterly cel shading, glossy highlights and a vivid Vice City palette of hot pink, orange and teal, like the cover art of an open-world crime video game set in a sunny Florida city. Put him on a Miami-style beachfront boulevard with palm trees and pastel art deco buildings under a pink and orange sunset sky. Keep his likeness: short grey hair, grey stubble, smile, sunglasses pushed up on his head, navy T-shirt and backpack straps. No text or logos.
Suggested model: Nano Banana 2.1
3.Only the style: keep your own background
Here the prompt asks for the style and nothing else, and leaves out the pink and teal palette. Her room, the doorway, the plant, her pose and the framing all stayed where they were, redrawn with clean outlines and soft painted shading. Her freckles, grey-blue eyes, auburn hair and grey sweater stayed too.
Prompt we ran
Redraw this photo in the style of Grand Theft Auto VI cover artwork: a hand-painted digital illustration with clean dark outlines, smooth painterly cel shading and glossy highlights. Keep the room, her pose and the framing exactly as they are. Keep her likeness: freckles, grey-blue eyes, auburn shoulder-length hair, grey sweater and closed-lip smile. No text or logos.
Suggested model: Nano Banana 2.1
4.You and your friends as a crew
Three people at once. All three came back in the same order with the jacket, the yellow raincoat, the glasses and the grey hoodie. The park became a beachfront boulevard at sunset and the passer-by behind them is gone, as asked. The neon signs behind them carry scrambled lettering although the prompt said no text.
Prompt we ran
Redraw this photo in the style of Grand Theft Auto VI cover artwork: a hand-painted digital illustration with clean dark outlines, smooth painterly cel shading, glossy highlights and a vivid Vice City palette of hot pink, orange and teal. Keep all three friends and their order: the bearded man in the navy jacket, the woman with curly dark hair in the yellow raincoat and the man with glasses in the grey hoodie, so each one stays recognisable. Replace the park with a beachfront boulevard lined with palm trees under a pink and orange sunset and leave out the passer-by in the background. No text or logos.
Suggested model: Nano Banana 2.1
With several people, say how many there are, describe each one in a few words and check every face afterwards.
5.Your dog and your car
The dog kept its breed, coat and lying pose and moved from the living room rug to a boardwalk with palm trees. The model added string lights and a skyline across the water. The car kept its shape, pink paint, chrome and whitewall tyres on a neon-lit street at dusk.

Redraw this photo in the style of Grand Theft Auto VI cover artwork: a hand-painted digital illustration with clean dark outlines, smooth painterly cel shading, glossy highlights and a vivid Vice City palette of hot pink, orange and teal. Keep the car as it is: its shape, pink paint, chrome trim and whitewall tyres. Replace the house and the tree with a neon-lit beachfront street with palm trees at dusk. No text or logos.
Prompt we ran
Redraw this photo in the style of Grand Theft Auto VI cover artwork: a hand-painted digital illustration with clean dark outlines, smooth painterly cel shading, glossy highlights and a vivid Vice City palette of hot pink, orange and teal. Keep the dog's breed, golden coat and lying pose. Put the dog on a beach boardwalk with palm trees at sunset. No text or logos.
Suggested model: Nano Banana 2.1
6.A cover-style panel poster
The cover look is a collage of panels. From one selfie Nano Banana 2.1 drew all seven panels we listed: him in sunglasses, driving a convertible and riding a jet ski, plus a speedboat, a neon street at night, flamingos in a mangrove swamp and a dog. It came back as a tall poster although the photo is square, and with no title or lettering.
Prompt we ran
Make a poster from this photo in the style of Grand Theft Auto VI cover art: a collage of seven comic-style panels of different sizes separated by thin white borders, each a hand-painted digital illustration with clean dark outlines, smooth painterly cel shading and a vivid palette of hot pink, orange and teal. The man from the photo appears in three panels: a close-up portrait wearing his sunglasses, driving a convertible, and riding a jet ski. The other panels show a speedboat on turquoise water, a neon-lit beachfront street at night, flamingos in a mangrove swamp at sunset and a golden retriever. Keep his likeness: short grey hair, grey stubble and navy T-shirt. No text, no title, no logos and no brand badges on the vehicles.
Suggested model: Nano Banana 2.1
Leave the game’s logo and title off, and check vehicles for real brand badges before you post or print a poster.
7.Animate a GTA 6 style picture
We opened the first result in the video composer and asked for one action. Kling O3 Pro made a 5-second clip: he lifts his hand, slides the sunglasses onto his eyes and the camera pushes in. The outlines and the pink and teal colours held for the whole clip. His hair came out spikier than in the picture.
Exact prompt we ran
Redraw this photo in the style of Grand Theft Auto VI cover artwork: a hand-painted digital illustration with clean dark outlines, smooth painterly cel shading, glossy highlights and a vivid Vice City palette of hot pink, orange and teal. Put him on a Miami-style beachfront boulevard with palm trees and pastel art deco buildings under a pink and orange sunset sky. Keep his likeness: short grey hair, grey stubble, smile, sunglasses pushed up on his head, navy T-shirt and backpack straps. No text or logos.
Prompt we ran
He slides his sunglasses down onto his eyes and keeps smiling while the camera slowly pushes in. Palm fronds sway and cars pass on the boulevard behind him. Keep the hand-painted illustration look with clean dark outlines and vivid pink, orange and teal colours in every frame.
Suggested model: Kling O3 Pro
Ask for one action and end the prompt by naming the look again, so the clip does not drift toward live action.
8.Restyle your own video
Remix, then Restyle, redraws a clip you already have and keeps its motion and timing. In our test it got the colours but not the drawing. With the look described in words, Kling O3 Edit turned the street clip into a pink and purple dusk scene, drawn as a soft cartoon with simplified faces instead of the detailed painted look of the pictures. We ran it again with the same words and our dog picture attached as a style photo, and the result was nearly the same. Both runs kept the walk, the framing, the yellow coat and the passers-by.
Prompt we ran
Make it look like hand-painted video game cover art in the style of Grand Theft Auto VI, with clean dark outlines, smooth painterly cel shading and a vivid palette of hot pink, orange and teal.
Suggested model: Kling O3 Edit
For the full look in motion, animate a finished picture as in example 7. Restyle is the route when the motion of your own clip matters more than the drawing.
Keep it recognisable, and keep it yours
- Name hair, beard, glasses, eye colour and clothes. The features we named stayed in every picture.
- Colours drift toward the palette: a navy T-shirt came out teal in one run. Name the colours you care about and compare with your photo.
- Street scenes get neon signs with scrambled lettering, even when the prompt says no text. Generate again or crop if that bothers you.
- Check what the model added. Ours added a convertible, a lifeguard tower, string lights and a skyline.
- For video, animate a finished picture. Restyling a clip kept the motion and the colours but drew a softer cartoon in both of our runs.
- Do not add the game’s logo, title or characters, and do not present a result as official artwork.
- Only restyle photos and videos of yourself or of people who agreed. An illustration of a real person is still that person.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make a GTA 6 style picture of myself?
Upload a photo to the editor and paste a prompt that describes the look: a hand-painted digital illustration with clean dark outlines, smooth painterly cel shading and a vivid palette of hot pink, orange and teal, like the GTA 6 cover art. Add what must stay (hair, beard, glasses, clothes) and generate. The exact prompts we ran are on this page.
Is this an official GTA 6 filter?
No. It is a fan-style look made with general image and video 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.
Is there a GTA button or preset?
Yes. The GTA 6 preset library opens Studio with an editable image or video prompt. For the examples on this page, use the prompts shown here. You can also paste a prompt into Remix to restyle an existing clip.
Can I turn a video into GTA 6 style?
Yes, in two ways. Animating a finished GTA 6 style picture in the video composer kept the full look: 85 credits for 5 seconds on Kling O3 Pro. Restyling an existing clip in Remix kept its motion and got the pink and purple colours, but drew a softer cartoon than the pictures, with or without a style photo. Each restyle of our 5.9-second clip at 720p cost 114 credits.
Will it still look like me?
In our runs hair, beards, glasses, freckles and eye colour all stayed when the prompt named them. Colours can drift toward the pink and teal palette: a navy T-shirt came out teal once. GPT Image 2.5 kept the face closest.
Can I make a GTA 6 style poster or cover?
Yes. Ask for a collage of comic-style panels separated by thin white borders and list what each panel shows. Nano Banana 2.1 drew all seven panels we listed from one selfie. Leave out the game’s logo and title, and check the result for real brand badges.
What about the older GTA V loading screen look?
It works the same way with different words. Ask for bold black ink outlines, flat cel-shaded colours, hard-edged shadows and a saturated warm palette. We ran that look on the same photos earlier on 14 November 2026, and those runs are in the log.
Can I use the pictures commercially?
Paid plans include a commercial license for what you generate, but that license does not cover other companies’ trademarks. Do not use the game’s name, logo or characters to sell something, and do not suggest your picture is official.
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, and a 5-second clip 85. AI Media Studio has no free tier. Every edit needs a paid plan. Plans start at $19/month.
