What is Prompt Inversion?

Prompt Inversion - DLLMs
Fall 2025
Given an input image (\( I_n \)) Prompt Inversion is the process of finding the optimal textual prompt (\( P \)) that, when fed into a pre-trained image generation model (\( G \)), would most faithfully reconstruct a given input image (\( I_n \))

(\( I_n \))
"A vibrant and colorful teapot with blue, red, orange, and green stripes, featuring an orange spout, handle, and feet, on a clean white background."

Why Prompt Inversion?

- Invert images to interpretable prompts.
- Utilize inverted prompts for image generation (Reusability).
- Style Transfer.
- Bridges vision ↔︎ language gap
- Few-shot efficiency
- Privacy-preserving: Encodes identity or proprietary visuals without sharing raw training data
- Distinct from editing: Goes beyond one-off pixel-level changes by giving a symbolic handle for semantic reuse.
