Visual Prompts

Have you ever found yourself wanting to write something and instead of putting words to paper, just staring at the blankness for hours? 

Visual prompts solve precisely this problem. They stimulate your mind to think in a particular direction and give you a starting point that can help you begin that first draft that previously felt so intimidating. It doesn’t matter what writing level you’re at; you can be a novelist, a student, a poet, or simply someone looking to write more. Visual prompts are sure to inspire you and give you a much-needed fresh perspective to get your creative writing started.

With AI tools like Vheer, generating visual prompts has never been this easy. With Vheer, you can upload images and receive prompts in seconds. Then, all you have to do is just allow the river of words to flow from within you. Let’s look at how you can use visual prompts to boost your creative writing using Vheer.

How Can Visual Prompts Help Your Creative Writing

Sometimes, when one feels uninspired and the writer’s block is at its strongest, an image still strikes the eye. It tells a story. Now, the question is how to write that story. Here is where visual prompts step in. 

Perhaps you’ve come across a haunting image of an abandoned house in a deep rainforest or a beautiful portrait of a mystical creature. Visual prompts will help you translate the emotions and setting of that image into a text prompt that can start things off for your creative writing.

With some initial words already in front of you, laying down the groundwork of what you would like to write about, the initial intimidation of simply starting no longer exists, and you feel motivated to develop the story even further.

How To Use Vheer To Generate Visual Prompts

With Vheer’s completely free image-to-prompt generator, your creative process can now go as smoothly as ever. Now, when you look at an image that speaks to you, you no longer have to spend hours trying to find the initial words to describe it. Instead, you can simply upload it and Vheer give you the image prompt ideas. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

  1. Go to Vheer’s Image To Prompt Converter
  2. Upload The Picture: Pick what you would like to write about. It can be absolutely anything, whatever inspires you. You will then upload it, and don’t worry – Vheer accepts PNG, JPEG, and WebP files.
  3. Choose Your Prompt: Vheer gives you several options when generating prompts from your image. These are: simple, detailed, creative, or tags. Whichever one you choose, the result will be different.

The simple prompt is the most basic; it will describe your picture for you in an average style. The detailed prompt will analyze your image and provide a precise description, helping you utilize other AI image tools like Midjourney. The tags generate a prompt that enables you to outline a picture’s defining features, aiding in data compilation and search functions.

Finally, the creative prompt, as the name suggests, is our most useful one when it comes to using prompts to boost writing. This prompt looks at the picture you have uploaded and describes it in such a way that it builds a story, giving you the perfect foundation to develop your creative piece on. 

  1. Wait For The AI Magic: Click generate prompts and in just a few seconds, Vheer will read the image and provide you with a prompt that aptly describes your selected image in the prompt type you chose.

How You Should Go About Picking Your Pictures

  • Look for Emotion: Images with strong emotional cues often yield richer writing.
  • Choose Ambiguity: A picture with unanswered questions invites creative interpretation.
  • Be Diverse: To truly experiment with your writing skills, do not stick to images with a specific style. Instead, pick from a range of genres such as fantasy, urban, historical, and surreal images to push yourself further.
  • Avoid Literary Cliches: Leave room for imagination rather than dictating the story.
