30 AI Image Prompt Examples by Style
A good prompt library is worth a hundred tutorials. Below are 30 production-tested prompts grouped into six styles. For each one we suggest a Nexvy model and an aspect ratio so you can paste, render, and iterate without guessing.
Every image below was generated with the exact prompt next to it (rendered on FLUX dev for speed — your model of choice will give a different read of the same prompt).
If you're new to prompting, read our 10 Prompt Tips for Better AI Images first — every prompt here uses those principles (specific subject, lighting, mood, depth, palette).
