These 14 templates encode the Reve formula — subject, setting, lighting, style, then the technical line — with the specifics left as [BRACKETS] for you to fill. Because Reve follows prompts closely, the more precisely you complete each blank, the closer the result. Set the aspect ratio in the interface, ask for 4K, and put any in-image text in double quotes.
For the reasoning behind the structure, see the Reve prompt cheat sheet and how to prompt Reve for photorealism. For finished examples, the 40 best Reve prompts.
How to use these
- Replace every
[BRACKET]with your own detail — the more specific, the better. - Keep the order. Reve weights earlier words more, so lead with the subject.
- Quote exact text and keep strings short for clean typography.
- Set the ratio in Reve's selector; the templates suggest one you can change.
- Ask for 4K for detail, print, or crop room.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use these Reve templates?
Copy a template, replace every bracketed placeholder with your own details, and paste it into Reve. Keep the structure — subject, setting, lighting, style, then the technical line — because that order matches how Reve weights a prompt. Set the aspect ratio in the interface and ask for 4K, and put any in-image text in double quotes.
Do I have to fill in every bracket?
Fill in the subject, lighting, and style brackets at minimum, since those drive the result most. The technical brackets like lens and aspect ratio have sensible defaults already written in, so you can leave them or adjust. The more specific you are, the more Reve's prompt adherence has to work with.
Can I combine two templates?
Yes, but keep it focused. You can borrow the text block from the poster template and drop it into the product template to add a label, for example. Just avoid stacking too many competing instructions — past roughly 150 words each keyword loses weight, so trim anything that isn't pulling its weight.
Where do I put the exact text for a poster template?
Inside double quotes, exactly as you want it spelled, with a short placement note. For example, the headline "[HEADLINE]" top-center in a [font style]. Reve's typography step renders quoted strings, so keep them short and spell them correctly, and ask for 4K so small type stays crisp.
