Halloween: photos, prompts and plans explained

When is Halloween?

Halloween is on 31 October every year. It grew out of the Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of the harvest, and today it is known for costumes, carved pumpkins and trick-or-treating.

Can I get a Halloween look without a costume?

Yes. Styles such as Witch's Forest, Masquerade Ball and Day of the Dead dress you for the scene, so a plain selfie is enough.

How do I make a photo from the Halloween collection?

Open the Trendy AI Lab app, pick a style from the Halloween collection, upload a photo, and the app generates your image in seconds. You can then download or share it.

What photo works best for Halloween?

Use a clear, front-facing selfie in good light so your face translates cleanly into the look.

Is Trendy AI Lab free?

The prompt for every style is free: copy it into ChatGPT or Gemini. Making the image in the app, with your face kept the same, needs a weekly or monthly plan, and the browser image tools are free with no account.

Which platforms is it available on?

The image tools work in any browser, on phone or desktop. The AI trends are in the Android app, with the iOS version coming soon.

How is my photo used?

Your photo is sent to a third-party AI service only to generate your image, and the upload is deleted afterwards. It is never used for advertising.
