Best Stable Diffusion Prompts for Realistic Images

Below is a large collection of copy-and-paste prompts for Stable Diffusion, focused on realistic images – portraits, landscapes, products, food, interiors, cinematic shots, fantasy and sci-fi. Use these as starting points, then tweak details like subject, age, lighting and style to match your own projects.

Tip: Start with a low resolution (like 512×768 or 768×512), then upscale once you like the composition. This is easier on your GPU and lets you iterate quickly.

Stable Diffusion FAQ & Troubleshooting Guide

If you're new to Stable Diffusion or SDXL, you may sometimes see issues like blurry faces, distorted hands, strange lighting or inconsistent details. Below is a helpful troubleshooting guide covering the most common problems and how to fix them quickly.

💡 Why are my Stable Diffusion images blurry or soft?

Blurry images usually happen when the prompt lacks detail or the resolution is too low. Try these fixes:

Increase resolution to 768×1152, 1024×1024 or higher.
Use more specific camera terms (e.g. sharp focus, high detail, crisp edges).
Use samplers like DPM++ 2M Karras or Euler a for cleaner detail.
Enable a good VAE (like vae-ft-mse-840000) for sharper rendering.

🤚 Why does Stable Diffusion generate weird hands or extra fingers?

Hands are notoriously tricky for AI. SDXL improved them, but they're still imperfect. Try:

Add negative prompts such as "extra fingers, deformed hands, warped fingers, bad anatomy".
Zoom out slightly — close-ups of hands are harder for the model.
Use models known for good anatomy (e.g. Realistic Vision, Juggernaut XL).
Generate at high resolution and upscale + refiner pass for cleaner anatomy.

🧠 My images don’t match the prompt. Why?

When Stable Diffusion ignores your prompt, it's usually due to lack of clarity or conflicting terms.

Reduce complexity — fewer, clearer descriptors often work better.
Avoid mixing too many styles (e.g. cinematic, watercolor, 3D model).
Increase CFG scale to 7–10 for stronger adherence.
Try adding "highly detailed, ultra realistic, accurate lighting" to reinforce intent.

🌈 Why are my colours washed out or oversaturated?

Colour issues usually come from the VAE or prompt wording.

Try a different VAE for better colour accuracy.
Add terms like balanced colours, natural tones, film colour grading.
For desaturated images, add vivid colours, rich tones, high contrast.
For oversaturation, add subtle colour palette, soft natural colours.

🖼️ Why do faces look distorted when generating full-body shots?

Faces degrade when the subject is small in the frame.

Generate a portrait-only version and use img2img to merge it later.
Increase final resolution (e.g. 1536×1024).
Try Face Restore tools (CodeFormer, GFPGAN).
Add detailed face, clean facial features, sharp eyes to your prompt.

🚫 How do I stop AI from adding unwanted objects or artifacts?

Negative prompts are your best friend. Add:

blurry, distorted, low detail, text, watermark, logo, extra limbs, deformed anatomy
Lower CFG scale if results look too chaotic.
Avoid mixing many conflicting styles (e.g. hyperrealistic + anime).
