How do I turn a photo into GTA 6 style?
- 01
Upload the photo
Faces in focus, nobody cut off at the edge. Groups work.
- 02
Describe the look, not just the name
The buttons on this page open the composer with the look typed in: “bold black ink outlines, cel-shaded colours and hard-edged shadows, in a hot sun-bleached palette of magenta, coral, orange and turquoise”.
- 03
Name each person, in order
“The bearded man in the navy jacket, the woman in the yellow raincoat, the man with glasses in the grey hoodie.” Order and one detail each keep everyone recognisable.
- 04
Say what to drop
“Leave out the passer-by behind them.” Unwanted people go in the same run.
Before and after
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.Three friends to a beach promenade
All three in the same order with the navy jacket, yellow raincoat, glasses and grey hoodie; the park became a promenade with palms at sunset and the passer-by is gone.
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 all three friends and their order: the bearded man in the navy jacket, the woman with short curly black hair in the yellow raincoat and the man with glasses in the grey hoodie. Replace the park with a beach promenade with palm trees and leave out the passer-by behind them. 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| 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
How long does it take?
Each of our runs came back in under a minute. Most of the time goes into writing what must stay.
Can I turn a video into GTA 6 style?
Animate a finished picture instead: the TikTok filter guide shows a 5-second clip from a GTA 6 style picture.
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.
