Same idea, different syntax:

Midjourney → short phrases + --ar 4:5 --no text
Stable Diffusion → positive prompt, separate negative prompt, size
ChatGPT / Gemini → a plain sentence asking for an image

"Try in…" formats it for you: visualcodes.es/en/herramientas

Code of the week: /BuenosAires 🇦🇷

Free until Sunday: visualcodes.es/en/codes/buenosaires

Code of the week: /FilmStill 🎬

Makes any frame look like a still from a movie: widescreen framing, cinema colour, the feeling that something is about to happen.

Free for everyone until Sunday: visualcodes.es/en/codes/filmstill
