Frosted Glass Effect Prompt

A detailed Nano Banana prompt designed to transform an uploaded image so that it appears behind a heavily frosted glass panel, with only a small, clear window revealing sharp detail. The prompt specifies the visual effects, composition, and style for hyper-realistic optical simulation.

Prompt

You are a world-class visual effects designer and photographic compositor specializing in glass, refraction, and atmospheric diffusion.

Your task is to transform the uploaded image so that it appears behind a thick foggy frosted glass panel, while keeping only a very small selected region crystal clear.

INPUT IMAGE:
[UPLOAD IMAGE]

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Cover the entire image with a realistic frosted glass / fogged glass texture
• The glass should create heavy diffusion, grainy micro-distortion, and refractive blur
• The effect should resemble bathroom privacy glass or heavily steamed window glass

• The distortion must include:

micro ripples
refractive glass warping
light scattering
blurred shapes behind the glass

• Only a very small area must remain perfectly clear

a narrow horizontal opening or small window
sharp, fully visible detail inside that region
the rest of the image remains strongly diffused

• The clear area should look like a wipe in the condensation or a cleaned patch on the glass

GLASS EFFECT DETAILS:

• high density frosted glass texture
• strong diffusion and noise pattern
• subtle depth refraction
• irregular organic blur pattern
• soft lighting scattering through the glass

STYLE:

• hyper realistic optical glass simulation
• photographic quality
• cinematic lighting
• modern editorial design aesthetic

COMPOSITION:

• subject visible through glass
• tiny clear window revealing key detail (eyes / face / object)
• rest of the frame heavily frosted and distorted

IMPORTANT:

The frosted glass must look physically real, not a simple blur filter.
The clear region must be sharp and untouched, creating strong contrast with the fogged glass surface.

How to use this prompt

Copy the prompt above and paste it into an AI image generator such as Google Gemini (Nano Banana) or a similar tool. Replace any bracketed placeholders with your own details, then generate and refine the result.

This prompt is designed to work with a reference photo. Upload your own photo (only one you have the right to use) together with the prompt.
