How I Built a Free Image-to-Prompt Tool with Next.js and a Vision Model

Recently, I kept hitting the same wall in AI art: I'd find an image with a style I loved, but recreating it in Stable Diffusion or Midjourney meant guessing at the prompt for far too long. Writing prompts from scratch is slow and inconsistent.

So I built the reverse: a tool where you upload an image and get a detailed, ready-to-use prompt back. This post walks through how it works and the decisions behind it.

Live version: — no signup, and I'd genuinely welcome feedback, especially on prompt quality versus what you'd write by hand.
