Most viral AI images and videos start from a prompt someone else already wrote and tested. You don’t need to write one from scratch. You need to know where people share them.
These three websites collect thousands of prompts in one place, each with an example of what it produces. All three are free to browse. Here’s what each one is best for, checked on 30 October 2026.
The models these prompts are for
You’ll see three model names again and again on these sites:
Nano Banana: Google’s image model in Gemini, popular for editing your own photos.
GPT Image: OpenAI’s image model, the one behind image generation in ChatGPT.
Seedance: ByteDance’s video model, used for short AI video clips.
A prompt works best on the model it was written for, so check the model label before you copy.
MeiGen: trending templates you can use straight away
MeiGen is a gallery of viral prompts for GPT Image, Nano Banana, Seedance and Midjourney. Each card shows the result and the full prompt, with a link back to the creator who first shared it. There is also a video section with Seedance prompts.
Many prompts are templates. The parts you change, such as [SUBJECT] or [OUTFIT], are marked as placeholders. You can copy the prompt, or use it on MeiGen itself: upload your photo as a reference image, fill in the placeholders and generate.
Cost: browsing and copying prompts is free. Generating on MeiGen uses credits. Free daily credits only work on basic models, so the models above need sign-up bonus credits or paid credits. The site shows the credit cost before you generate (MeiGen docs).
Best for: finding a trend and recreating it with your own photo in a few minutes.
Tip: several other websites use similar names. The address in this guide is meigen.ai.
YouMind: the biggest free prompt library
YouMind runs a free prompt library that says it has over 30,000 prompts and adds new ones every day. You can browse by type, with separate sections for images, videos and websites, and by model.
When I checked, it listed over 18,000 GPT Image 2 prompts, over 15,000 for Nano Banana Pro and about 6,500 for Seedance 2.0. It also has a separate Nano Banana Pro prompt library.
Cost: the prompt library is free. YouMind also sells its own AI creation tools, but you can copy any prompt into the tool you already use.
Best for: getting many options for one idea, and seeing what’s trending this week.
PromptHero: images and videos across every major model
PromptHero is one of the oldest prompt sites. It covers image and video prompts for Midjourney, Nano Banana, Seedance, FLUX, Stable Diffusion, ChatGPT Image, Veo, Sora and more.
You can search by keyword, filter by model and sort by Hot, New or Top, so it’s easy to see what’s popular right now.
Cost: browsing is free, and the free plan includes a limited number of daily generations, all made public. Paid plans start at $16 a month, billed yearly, for more credits and private images (pricing).
Best for: searching for a specific style or subject across many models.
How to use a trending prompt
Pick a prompt whose example image or video is close to what you want.
Copy it and replace everything in [square brackets] with your own details.
Use the model the prompt was written for. The same prompt can look very different on another model.
If the prompt uses a reference photo, upload yours. A clear, well-lit photo gives the best result.
Change one thing to make it yours, such as the setting, colours or text. Hundreds of people may be using the same prompt.
Turning trends into views
Trending prompts get attention because people already want to see that style. Post early while the trend is growing, and add your own angle so your version stands out from the copies. Your audience should get something they can’t get from the original creator’s post.
Before you post
Use photos with permission. Only upload photos of yourself, or of people who are fine with it.
Don’t fake real people. Several trending prompts put celebrities into scenes. Avoid images that could make people believe something false about a real person.
Label AI content. Under India’s amended IT Rules, in force since 20 February 2026, social media platforms must ask users to declare AI-generated content and must label it (Business Today). Turn on the AI label when you post.
Credit the creator. If a prompt went viral from someone’s post, crediting them costs nothing and builds goodwill.
