Reference
This negative prompt generator workflow shows how RefPrompt turns a reference into protection rules. Instead of using a generic list of bad words, the prompt targets the actual risks in the scene: product warping, fake text, unstable shadows, distorted motion, extra objects, and material artifacts.
RefPrompt builds negative prompts from the reference and target tool. It identifies the details most likely to fail, then writes constraints that protect shape, material, text, shadow, identity, and motion continuity.
What this workflow covers
Use this negative prompt generator page when you need a reference image, extracted art direction, a still-image prompt, a video prompt, a Midjourney version, a Negative prompt version, and a focused negative prompt in one copy-ready workflow.
Use your own reference
Use this negative prompt generator workflow with an image in the free web tool, or use the Chrome extension on an image or video already open in your browser.
Style Breakdown
The breakdown shows how to move from generic artifact lists to targeted negative prompts based on the actual scene.
Image Prompt
Start with the positive target so the negative prompt has context.
Teal and white running shoe product campaign image, crisp laces, detailed outsole, clean studio surface, sharp contact shadow, high-clarity color blocking, paid-social crop, premium sports product photography, no visible brand logo.Video Prompt
The video prompt adds time-based risks that need negative constraints.
Create a 5-second running shoe product reveal. Start on lace and outsole detail, then rotate to a full hero angle. Keep the shoe stable on the surface with consistent shape, stitching, material, shadow, and background.Midjourney Version
Midjourney uses the negative prompt as direct artifact control.
teal white running shoe product campaign, crisp laces, detailed outsole, clean studio surface, sharp contact shadow, high-clarity sports ad --ar 16:9 --style raw --no fake logo, warped sole, melted toe box, mismatched laces, floating product, clutterNegative prompt Version
This is the focused negative prompt extracted from the reference risks.
warped sole, melted toe box, mismatched laces, fake brand logo, extra shoe panels, distorted heel, floating sneaker, inconsistent contact shadow, rubber texture artifacts, blurry outsole, unreadable stitching, overexposed teal, cluttered background, bent shoe shape, duplicated shoe, cartoon sneaker, jitter, flicker, morphing product, unstable camera.Result & Limits
The running shoe reference has clear product details that can easily break: outsole, laces, toe box, heel shape, stitching, color, and shadow. A good negative prompt protects those details instead of listing unrelated artifacts.
Prompt used in this case
The negative prompt targets warped soles, fake logos, mismatched laces, floating products, distorted heel shapes, inconsistent stitching, and unstable shadows.
Result read
The generated result keeps the shoe readable and commercially clean. The three-quarter product pose still needs grounding, so the negative prompt includes floating product and inconsistent shadow constraints.
Negative Prompt
Use the shorter version when a tool has limited prompt space.
warped product, fake logo, mismatched details, floating object, inconsistent shadow, flicker, jitter, morphing shape, clutter, low-resolution texture, overexposed highlights, duplicated object.CTA
Use the same page structure inside RefPrompt: start from a visual reference, then copy the prompt version that fits the tool and channel.
Try this workflow with RefPrompt.A negative prompt generator writes constraints that tell an AI image or video model what to avoid. RefPrompt creates those constraints from the actual reference and output goal instead of using a generic artifact list.
Only when the risks are specific. A focused negative prompt is usually better than a huge generic list because it protects the scene without suppressing useful style.
Yes. Video negative prompts should include time-based problems such as flicker, jitter, morphing, unstable backgrounds, jump cuts, and changing object geometry.
