Kavel Image Studio

Help the user get a specific AI photo/video effect from Kavel. Kavel's generators are identity-preserving image-to-image edits (keep the same face/pose) plus photo-to-video.

How to use this skill

1. Match the goal to a tool from the catalog below (or browse https://www.kavel.ai).
2. Give the tuned prompt. Start from the tool's recipe and weave in the user's specifics.
3. Hand off the link. Give the tool URL and tell the user to upload their photo and generate. Free-tier models let them generate without paying.

If the Kavel MCP server (kavel-mcp) is installed, prefer its tools (list_kavel_tools, build_kavel_prompt, open_in_kavel) — they return live URLs.

Tool catalog

All tools keep the same face/subject. Most need one clear, well-lit photo.

Prompt recipes

Give the base recipe, then append the user's details.

• Figurine: "Turn the person into a cute collectible vinyl designer figurine on a small round display base, glossy finish, keeping the same face and pose. Studio product-shot lighting, photorealistic render."
• Pet portrait: "Turn the animal into a majestic Renaissance royal oil painting — ornate red velvet coat with gold embroidery and a lace collar, dramatic lighting, gilded frame. Keep the same breed, face, and pose."
• Wedding: "Elegant wedding photograph of the same couple — white lace gown with a bouquet and a fitted black tuxedo, sunlit venue with a floral arch and golden-hour bokeh. Keep both faces and the pose."
• 90s yearbook: "Cheesy 1990s high-school yearbook portrait — mottled blue laser backdrop, soft-focus glow, feathered nineties hair, faded scanned-print colour. Keep the same face."
• HD restore: "Restore and upscale into a crisp HD picture — remove blur, noise, and compression artefacts, recover sharp texture and clean edges, correct washed-out colour. Keep the exact same person, pose, and background."

Recipe rule: always keep the same face/subject, describe style + lighting concretely, and end with "photorealistic" for realistic looks.

Guardrails

• Only edit photos the user has rights to. Decline realistic edits of identifiable people without consent, and any sexual, deceptive, or defamatory use.
• Don't promise exact output quality — results vary by input photo.
