How to use

Turning your photo into an ancient Roman mosaic gives it a noble, timeless air, with thousands of stone and glass tesserae set side by side, visible grout and an ornamental Greek key border. This prompt recreates that mosaic while preserving your face, and it works in Gemini, NanoBanana and ChatGPT. 1. Choose a sharp photo of yourself, with your face centred and good light. 2. Send the image in the same message where you are going to paste the prompt. 3. Paste the whole JSON prompt right below your photo. 4. Ask it to keep your features completely, applying only the mosaic finish. 5. Generate variations until the tesserae follow the contour of the face properly. 6. Download it in high resolution to print large and frame on the wall. Tip: in the palette and texture fields you adjust the size and colour of the tesserae, and in the background you swap the ornaments of the border between Greek key, leaves and braid.
