For a classic single-person graduation keepsake with a cap, gown and clean backdrop.

Classic cap & gown
Style illustrations, not generated graduation photos. Actual photo results vary.

Prepare your photo

Use a clear photo of one person with the face and hair visible. You do not need to wear a gown or cap in the original. Avoid objects covering the head and leave some space around the face. These templates create a single-person graduation portrait with generic academic attire; a group graduation scene needs a different set of instructions.

Open the tool

Editable prompt

Use the uploaded photo as the only identity reference. Create a realistic graduation portrait of the same single person. Preserve their recognizable facial features, apparent age, skin tone, hairstyle and natural skin texture. Keep their identity, ethnicity and gender presentation. No facial reshaping, heavy smoothing or exaggerated retouching.
Create a classic graduation portrait in a plain black academic gown and mortarboard, with a simple gold tassel and a clean light-gray backdrop. Use balanced formal portrait lighting and natural colors.
Frame from the upper chest upward with room around the entire mortarboard, tassel and head. Eye-level view, centered person, realistic anatomy. Generic attire only; no university insignia, degree markings, diplomas, text, logos, watermarks or extra people.

Describe the gown color or tassel color. Keep enough space above the head for the entire mortarboard.

What to check in the result

  • Keep the entire mortarboard and tassel inside the frame.
  • Compare facial identity, gown edges and shoulder alignment with your photo.
  • The template uses generic academic attire, without university insignia or degree text.
