The prompt
Create a photorealistic app mockup visual for a store listing and a pitch deck. Show a modern smartphone (edge-to-edge display, thin bezels) from the front at a slight angle, floating in space as if cut out, with a soft drop shadow. On the screen, display the app [your product] showing this screen: [key screen, e.g. home with a search bar and a list of cards]. Build a clear UI with a status bar, a title row, two to three content cards, and a bottom navigation bar with four icons. Use [your brand color] as the accent for buttons and active states, plus generous white space and a legible sans-serif typeface. Keep placeholder text short and plausible, no meaningless letter soup. Background: [environment, e.g. a bright studio surface with a soft gradient], clean and distraction-free. Light falls softly from the upper left, natural reflections on the glass, no fingerprints. Style: tidy, premium, trustworthy, like a real product photo. Aspect ratio 4:5 portrait, sharp detail, high resolution. Do not use real third-party logos, warped text, or duplicated UI elements. If something is missing, make a sensible assumption instead of leaving gaps.Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
Frequently asked
Can I expect real, perfectly legible UI text?
Only partly. GPT-Image usually renders short labels cleanly but often garbles very small text or many labels at once. Keep text in the prompt brief, and for a final listing plan a quick retouch pass where you drop in real screenshots.
How do I hit my exact brand color?
State the color as precisely as you can in the prompt, for example a hex value plus a description (like deep teal). The model approximates it but rarely nails it to the pixel, so correct the accent afterwards in an image editor if you need exact brand consistency.
