The short answer
ChatGPT and Gemini can both turn your photo into an AI Halloween costume photo. You upload the picture, describe the costume and ask the tool to keep your face. Both sometimes change faces, skin and makeup, so plan on a few retries. If you want one result quickly with your makeup kept, a costume try-on tool like AI Halloween Costume does the prompting for you from $0.99 for 2 photos.
What an AI Halloween costume asks of a tool
- Accept your photo as input and return an edited photo, not a new picture of a stranger.
- Change the clothes while keeping the face, skin tone and expression.
- Leave existing makeup alone unless you ask for face paint.
- Keep the pose and framing so it still looks like your photo.
Can ChatGPT do it?
ChatGPT can take an uploaded photo and return an edited version, so it can make an AI Halloween costume photo. The common problem is that it may redraw the whole picture and the face drifts. Start your prompt with what must stay the same, and ask for the same pose and framing.
ChatGPT, like most tools, may refuse named movie or game characters. Describe a generic costume instead.
Can Gemini do it?
The Gemini app can also edit an uploaded photo, and Google’s image models are good at keeping a person recognisable. Gemini is often quick to try several costumes in one conversation. The same advice applies: say what must not change first and keep makeup words out of the costume description.

The AI model we use
AI Halloween Costume sends your photo to Google’s Nano Banana 2 image model (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image), run for us by fal.ai. It is the same family of image model behind the Gemini app. What we add is the prompt: tested wording that keeps your face and makeup, costume descriptions with face words removed, and a fixed pose and framing. See the models page for details.
What the rules say about photos of real people
Both ChatGPT and Gemini have usage policies that limit edits of real people, especially public figures and minors, and so do we. Only upload photos of yourself or people who agreed. For a child, a parent or guardian has to agree.
Where AI Halloween Costume fits
Use a free chat tool when you want an unusual costume that is not on our list and you do not mind retries. Use AI Halloween Costume when you want a costume photo now, with your makeup kept, without writing prompts. A failed photo costs nothing.
