Kavel Image Studio

davepoon/kavel-image-studio

Turn a photo into a specific AI look (new hairstyle, collectible figurine, royal pet portrait, wedding photo, 90s yearbook, sticker, HD restore) or a photo into a dance video, using Kavel (www.kavel.ai). Use when the user wants to restyle/transform a photo, asks "how do I make an AI X from my photo", or wants a photorealistic image edit that keeps the same face. Gives the right tool, a model-tuned prompt, and the generate link.

Kavel Image Studio

Help the user get a specific AI photo/video effect from Kavel. Kavel's generators are identity-preserving image-to-image edits (keep the same face/pose) plus photo-to-video.

How to use this skill

  • Match the goal to a tool from the catalog below (or browse https://www.kavel.ai).
  • Give the tuned prompt. Start from the tool's recipe and weave in the user's specifics.
  • Hand off the link. Give the tool URL and tell the user to upload their photo and generate. Free-tier models let them generate without paying.

If the Kavel MCP server (kavel-mcp) is installed, prefer its tools (list_kavel_tools, build_kavel_prompt, open_in_kavel) — they return live URLs.

Prompt recipes

Give the base recipe, then append the user's details.

  • Figurine: "Turn the person into a cute collectible vinyl designer figurine on a small round display base, glossy finish, keeping the same face and pose. Studio product-shot lighting, photorealistic render."
  • Pet portrait: "Turn the animal into a majestic Renaissance royal oil painting — ornate red velvet coat with gold embroidery and a lace collar, dramatic lighting, gilded frame. Keep the same breed, face, and pose."
  • Wedding: "Elegant wedding photograph of the same couple — white lace gown with a bouquet and a fitted black tuxedo, sunlit venue with a floral arch and golden-hour bokeh. Keep both faces and the pose."
  • 90s yearbook: "Cheesy 1990s high-school yearbook portrait — mottled blue laser backdrop, soft-focus glow, feathered nineties hair, faded scanned-print colour. Keep the same face."
  • HD restore: "Restore and upscale into a crisp HD picture — remove blur, noise, and compression artefacts, recover sharp texture and clean edges, correct washed-out colour. Keep the exact same person, pose, and background."

Recipe rule: always keep the same face/subject, describe style + lighting concretely, and end with "photorealistic" for realistic looks.

Guardrails

  • Only edit photos the user has rights to. Decline realistic edits of identifiable people without consent, and any sexual, deceptive, or defamatory use.
  • Don't promise exact output quality — results vary by input photo.
