Negative Prompt Guide

1. What are Negative Prompts?

Negative prompts tell the AI what NOT to include. While regular prompts say “draw this,” negative prompts say “don't draw this.”

Too many negatives restrict creativity and produce bland results. Basic set + 5–10 situational tags is enough. Stay under 20 total.

If you want “red hair” in your prompt, don't put “red” in negatives — they'll conflict.

Start with the basic set. Add negatives only when you see specific problems in the output.

Start with basics, generate, then add negatives for specific issues you see. More effective than dumping everything at once.

Use Promgrammer's save feature to store frequently used negative combinations so you don't have to rebuild them each time.
