Vintage Photocopy prompt turns any subject into distressed old-copier art

LudovicCreator shared a reusable image-generation prompt template called Vintage Photocopy that renders any subject in a distressed, low-contrast aesthetic mimicking old photocopies.

The template is simple: insert your subject into [SUBJECT] and append the fixed phrase "depicted in a Vintage Photocopy style, with a distressed, low-contrast aesthetic reminiscent of old photocopies. Add subtle texture and noise to enhance the retro feel."

Sample outputs in the attached images — a screaming punk figure, a portrait, and a skull — all show convincing grainy, aged-print texture, making it a handy style for retro poster-style visuals.
