A prompt from the gallery made one picture. Customize makes it make yours: your brand name, your colours, your extra details, the shape you need. It changes the text in front of you, so you always see the exact prompt you will copy.
Open Customize
Open any prompt in Prompt Gallery. Under the prompt, open Customize. It has up to four parts:
- A field for each placeholder in the prompt
- Add your own details
- Aspect ratio
- Apply my brand kit (the next lesson)
As you change anything, the prompt above updates and a Customized label appears, so you can see it is no longer the original.
Fill the placeholders
Placeholders are words in square brackets (or curly brackets) in the prompt, like [Your Brand] or [primary brand colour]. Customize gives each one a field, labelled with its name. Type your value and it replaces the placeholder in the prompt.
Leave a field empty and the placeholder stays as it is. The most common placeholders are:
| Placeholder | Put in |
|---|---|
[Your Brand] | Your company or product name |
[primary brand colour] | Your main colour, as a name or hex, like deep teal #0f766e |
[accent colour] | Your second colour |
[heading font] | A font style, like a geometric sans serif |
Add your own details
Add your own details takes anything the prompt does not cover: a detail of the scene, a mood, an object that must appear. Your text is added at the end of the prompt as one line starting with "Also:".
Also: add a small golden retriever sitting at the person's feet.Keep it to one or two short sentences. A long addition competes with the prompt's own instructions.
Set the aspect ratio
Aspect ratio sets the shape of the image:
| Choice | Good for |
|---|---|
| As written | Whatever the prompt already says |
| 1:1 square | Profile pictures, feed posts |
| 4:5 portrait post | Portrait posts in social feeds |
| 3:2 photo | Classic photo prints and blog images |
| 16:9 wide | Slides, video thumbnails, website heroes |
| 9:16 story | Stories, reels and phone wallpapers |
If the prompt already names a ratio, it is replaced wherever it appears: an "Aspect ratio 4:5" line, a phrase like "vertical 4:5 framing" (which becomes "widescreen 16:9 framing" when you pick 16:9) and Midjourney's --ar. Otherwise a line with your ratio is added at the end. In a Midjourney prompt, your details and the ratio always go before the parameters, so the prompt still runs. Some tools also have a ratio setting of their own; when they do, set it there too.
Copy the right version
Inside the open prompt, Copy prompt copies your customized version. The quick Copy prompt on a card in the grid always copies the original, unchanged. The negative prompt has its own Copy button.
Reset clears your fields, your details and the ratio, and switches Apply my brand kit off (for every prompt, until you tick it again), so you are back to the original. Your brand details are kept.
Your customization belongs to the prompt you have open. Open another prompt and you start fresh, except for the brand kit, which the next lesson sets up once for every prompt.
