Keep your real face in a Christmas scene

Upload a clear photo of yourself and type the Christmas scene, like a red velvet dress by a fireplace. The AI Image generator uses your photo as a reference and builds the holiday picture around you. GPT Image 2.5 gives you the most consistent faces and visuals across a set of generations. Add "keep my face exactly as uploaded" to your prompt for an even closer match.
