If you are tired of waiting for the GTA VI launch and bored of watching trailers and downloading wallpapers for GTA VI, then you can add a little fun to this by converting your own photos into a GTA VI-like wallpaper or portrait.
The Grand Theft Auto (GTA) franchise is often admired by its iconic visual style — from the bold outlines and saturated colours of GTA V to the more refined, lifelike but still exaggerated tones of GTA VI.
If you’ve ever wanted to turn your own photos into something that looks like it came straight out of Los Santos or Vice City, AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Microsoft Copilot can help.
Here’s a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to do it, along with important tips and precautions.
Step 1: Download the official GTA V or GTA VI images
Begin by downloading high-quality artwork or screenshots from Rockstar Games’ official website. This includes promotional posters, character art, loading screens, or in-game visuals. Make sure to save several different images to give the AI a clear understanding of the style you’re targeting.

Step 2: Upload the reference images to an AI chatbot
Once you’ve saved the GTA-styled images, open your preferred AI chatbot — ChatGPT (with image input), Gemini, Grok, or Microsoft Copilot — and upload the images. Then, prompt the AI by saying something like:
“Learn the visual style of these uploaded GTA V (or GTA VI) images. Focus on colours, shading, outlines, background and character design.”
This step helps the AI understand the core stylistic elements of the GTA artwork.
Step 3: Upload your photo
Next, upload the photo you want to transform — it can be a portrait, full-body image, or even a group shot. Make sure the photo is clear and well-lit for the best results.
Step 4: Prompt the AI to apply the GTA style
After the style has been learned and your photo is uploaded, give a specific instruction such as:
“Convert this photo into the GTA V style based on the previous references.”
Or for a newer aesthetic:
“Turn this image into a GTA VI-style poster using the style of the uploaded GTA VI images.”
The AI will then process the transformation and return a stylised image that mimics the look and feel of GTA visuals.
Things to keep in mind
- Quality matters: The better the resolution of both your reference images and your own photo, the better the final result.
- Permissions: Only use your photos or ones you have the right to modify.
- Use official images responsibly: Don’t use copyrighted GTA images for commercial purposes.
- Stylistic differences: GTA V leans more toward cartoonish, bold art. GTA VI introduces more realism with cinematic depth. Choose accordingly.
- AI limitations: Not all platforms are equally good at image transformations. Results may vary depending on the command and prompt details.
- Use this ethically and responsibly
