Fake Vacation Photo Prank

How it works

1. 1

   Upload your photo

   Use any photo where you or your friend are clearly visible — a selfie, a portrait, even a group shot. You don't need to be near a window or in good lighting. The AI will handle the background swap regardless.

   Expect: Upload takes a few seconds. Any common format works: JPG, PNG, HEIC.
2. 2

   Describe your dream destination

   Type where you want to appear. Be specific for best results — name the place, describe the scenery, and add details like time of day or weather. "Put me on a white sand beach in the Maldives with overwater bungalows in the background at golden hour" will look far better than just "beach."

   Tip: Mention lighting that matches your original photo. If you took the selfie near a window on a bright day, ask for a sunny outdoor scene. Matching the light direction makes the prank much harder to spot.

   Copy one of these to get started:

   Maldives overwater bungalow Put me on a wooden dock with overwater bungalows stretching behind me, surrounded by impossibly clear turquoise water and a bright blue sky with a few white clouds

   Send it

   Review the result — if the AI nailed the background but your edges look off, describe the adjustment and re-run. Once it looks convincing, download and send it to your group chat, post it as a story, or text it directly to whoever you want to fool. April Fools captions optional.
