105 ChatGPT image codes: type one word, get a finished visual
Type /explodedview, /360view or /staticad with a photo and get a visual ready to post. All 105 codes sorted by use (portraits, product, ads, social, branding), the definition to copy for each one, and the sheet that makes them work every time.

You upload a photo of a watch, type /explodedview, and get an exploded view of every part, labeled. You type /impossibleangle on a photo of a monument, and the camera ends up lying on the ground, lens pointed at the sky. One word typed, a visual you would have paid a designer for.
These codes are shortcuts. Behind every word sits a precise definition, and that definition is what the assistant applies to your image. This article gives you the 5 codes from the video, 100 more sorted by use, and the sheet to paste so each one delivers what it promises.
The Claude AI Lab is my Skool community where I share my Claude systems and the more advanced modules. Access is $67/month.

Typed on its own, a code leaves the model guessing what you want, and the result changes from one try to the next. With its definition pasted into the conversation, the code triggers exactly the transformation you planned. The whole system rests on one sheet: the header that sets the rules, then the codes you need.
/staticad, specialty coffee, dark green, headline: Wake Up Better. The code sets the transformation, your detail sets the specifics.Here is the header to paste:
Here is my sheet of codes to transform my images.
When I type a code that starts with /, apply its definition to the attached image, or to what I describe if there is no image.
Fixed rules:
- The subject stays identical: shape, proportions, colors, logo, face.
- No text in the image unless the code asks for it. In that case, simple and correctly spelled words.
- Vertical 4:5 format by default, unless the code or my detail asks for another format.
Reply with the image only.
To keep the sheet from one conversation to the next, put the header and your favorite categories in the instructions of a ChatGPT Project: every new conversation in the project already knows them, so you only attach the image and type the code.
The 105 codes by use
The codes from the video
The five transformations shown in the video, with the exact definitions that produced the visuals. Start with /explodedview on a product with visible parts: it is the most striking result of the set.
/explodedview : technical exploded view of the object in the image, all its parts separated and stacked along one vertical axis, thin leader lines with five short, correctly spelled labels, white background, product infographic poster style.
/impossibleangle : the same scene shot from an impossible angle, camera at the base of the subject pointing straight up at the sky, extreme wide angle, the subject dominating the whole frame, cinematic photo.
/360view : 360 degree turnaround sheet of the object, the same object seen from six angles (front, back, left, right, top, three-quarter) in a grid on a light grey background, small title 360 VIEW at the top, catalog style.
/handwritten : the subject drawn in the center of a lined notebook page, surrounded by four handwritten marker notes of one or two simple words each, arrows pointing to its key features, highlighter strokes and small doodles.
/microscopicview : the subject seen under a microscope, one single element magnified as a detailed cross-section, round field of view on a dark background, scientific microscopy colors, no text, no labels.
Portraits and personal brand
A well-lit selfie is enough to start. /headshot replaces the profile photo shoot, /teamstyle puts your whole team on the same look for the About page.

Infographics and explainers
Paste your key points after the code, one line per point. These visuals work in a presentation as well as in a carousel.

The two checks before you post
The second check is resemblance. Put the result next to your starting image: the product must be the same, logo and proportions included. If the model drifted, say it in one sentence (same object, identical logo) instead of starting over.
Where to start
Take a single image and chain three codes: /explodedview for the visual that stops the scroll, /staticad for the ad, /advariants to test five hooks. Run the five variants on a small budget, keep the one with the best cost per click, then roll it out with the other codes. A quarter of an hour of generation, and you know which image sells before paying for a photo shoot.
