Turns any scene into a real-looking Polaroid instant photo: white frame with the wide bottom border, faded warm colors, soft shadows, flash glare and that slightly imperfect chemical look.

Works on portraits, nightlife flash shots, travel, food, cars, interiors. It doesn't care about the subject, only the look.

HOW TO USE

Trigger word: p0laroid

Start your prompt like this:

p0laroid, a polaroid instant photo, <your scene>

Recommended settings

• LoRA weight: 1.0 (0.8 if faces start to drift)

• Size: 896×1088 (true Polaroid proportions with the frame). Square works too, but the frame shows up less often.

• 25 steps, CFG 2.5, er_sde / simple

• If the frame disappears, add to the end: white polaroid border with a wider bottom edge

• Avoid the words "frame" / "cropped" in the scene description. The model reads them as "camera frame" and drops the border.

All preview images were made locally in ComfyUI with the official MOSS-Image SFT int8 template + this LoRA. Prompts are in the image metadata.

Also available for Qwen Image 2.1. Look for "Polaroid Instant Film | Qwen Image 2.1" on my profile.
