Image prompts vs text prompts: choose the right tool
When to use Midjourney/Flux versus ChatGPT/Claude, and how My Copyprompt organizes both types.
Two different animals
Text prompts instruct language models to produce words: emails, code, analysis, plans.
Image prompts instruct diffusion models to produce pixels: characters, products, scenes.
Copying an image prompt into ChatGPT will describe an image, not render one. Copying a chat prompt into Midjourney will ignore most formatting.
How My Copyprompt separates them
- Browse → Image / Text filters the catalog by model type
- Model pages (/models) group prompts by target tool
- Categories map to use cases (marketing, portraits, coding)
Always check the model badge on a prompt page before copying.
Proof expectations
| Type | Proof on My Copyprompt |
|---|---|
| Image | Reference renders (1–3 images) |
| Text | Sample output panel showing real model response |
Submissions without proof are unlikely to be approved.
Picking a workflow
- Define deliverable (PNG vs markdown doc)
- Pick model family
- Filter library by model or category
- Copy prompt + read curator note
- Iterate locally, then remix or submit improvements
