Image to Prompt (internally, Promptify) reverse-engineers an image into a detailed text prompt you can feed to an image generator or LLM to recreate it.
Image to Prompt — generated description

​
Open it

Press ⌃ ⌥ P from any app.

​
How it works

1

Copy an image

Copy any image: a design, a screenshot, something you want to reproduce.
2

Press the shortcut

Press ⌃ ⌥ P. The image is sent to a vision model with your chosen prompt style.
3

Paste the prompt

A detailed recreation prompt lands on your clipboard and appears in a panel. Paste it into any image generator or LLM.

​
Prompt styles

Settings → Tools → Image to Prompt:
  • UI Focused: a prompt to rebuild the screen in code.
  • General Purpose: a balanced, faithful description.
  • Image Focused: geared toward recreating the image in an image model.
  • Ask me every time: pick the style from a menu on each run.
Pair it with Generate Image: describe an image you like, then riff on that prompt to make a variation.

Dax Shots

Every image you hand to this tool is saved to ~/Pictures/Dax Shots/Image to Prompt, named the way macOS names screenshots, so you can always find it again.

​
Why a keypress, not a watcher

Image to Prompt is deliberately hotkey-triggered rather than watching your clipboard, so images only ever leave the machine on an explicit press.
