The visual prompt codebook
200 secret codes
for ChatGPT
Turn an uploaded image into a blueprint, cutaway, comparison, infographic, creative style, or visual explanation with one memorable prompt shortcut.
A practical guide from AskChadi.com · Updated for visual prompting
Small code. Big visual direction.
These 200 “secret codes” are user-created prompt labels, not hidden passwords or guaranteed product features. Use one after uploading an image, then add context about the subject, audience, viewpoint, labels, and constraints.
For best results, write clearly, provide useful context, and refine the result after reviewing it.[1] If a label is not recognized, simply describe the requested action in plain English.

How to use the codes
Upload a clear image in a ChatGPT conversation that supports image input. Then type a code plus the result you want. For example: /cutaway — show the internal parts of this bicycle, label visible components, and preserve the original proportions. If the first output misses something, ask for fewer labels, a different angle, larger text, or a simpler explanation.
