Ready to make amazing images with Midjourney? If you tried it before but found it difficult, or if you're completely new, this guide helps you. We cover basic tools and advanced settings. Learn how to get the results you want, from simple pictures to creative art.
Explore Images for Inspiration
Midjourney has a built-in gallery, sometimes called an "art museum." It shows lots of images created by others. It helps you see what's possible.
Find pictures you like.
See the text prompts used to make them.
Drag an image into your input box. You can use it as an image prompt or a style reference.
An image prompt focuses on a specific object. Upload a picture of a dog, then type a different background. Midjourney makes a new image with the dog but in the new setting. This is great for marketing, like showing a product somewhere new.
Style reference copies the *feeling* or *look* of an image. Upload a picture with a dreamy feel. Then type a prompt about a different place. Midjourney creates a new image of that place but with the dreamy atmosphere.
Use Style Codes for Specific Looks
Want a specific art style? Websites like sreff and style safari offer style reference codes for free.
Find a code you like.
Copy the code.
Paste the code after your prompt.
Add a code to a simple prompt like "dog" and get a picture in that unique style. You can even control how strong the style is using `--sw` followed by a number between 0 and 1000. The default is 100. Lower numbers make the style subtle. Higher numbers make it stronger.
You can also mix styles. Write `--sref` followed by two different codes separated by a dash. To control how much of each style is used, put two colons `::` between the codes and add a weight (e.g., code1::1 code2::2).
Start simple with just one code if you are new. See how it changes your images.
Control Your Results with Settings
Midjourney has settings you can change. They might seem complex at first, but they are simple once you know what they do.
Basic Controls
`--ar` sets the image size ratio (like 16:9 or 1:1).
`--s` (stylization) controls the artistic level. Use a value between 0 and 1000. Low numbers give more realistic, photo-like results. High numbers create more artistic or abstract images. The default is 100.
`--weird` (wildness) changes how strange or unexpected the results are. The default is 0. Higher numbers create unique images. Try increasing it up to 100.
`--v` (variety) controls how many images are generated at once. This helps you see different ideas quickly.
Round Mode `--r` makes images more realistic and closer to your exact words. It reduces Midjourney's own artistic style.
Draft Mode & Voice Input
Draft mode is faster and cheaper. It can even work with prompts in different languages, like Korean. The image quality is lower at first. If you like a draft image, you can upscale it to high quality later.
Midjourney can now understand voice. Use the micro-prompt feature to speak your ideas instead of typing them.
Improve Your Images with Editing Tools
After Midjourney creates an image, you have options to change it, even without fancy photo software.
Variations and Upscaling
Variations make slightly different versions of an image. Soft variations are subtle. Strong variations make bigger changes. Use this when you like an image but want to explore similar ideas without changing your prompt much.
Upscaling makes the image larger and higher quality. "Upscale" makes it bigger while keeping it close to the original. "Upscale Creative" adds new details as it expands the image. Upscaling is often a final step.
Reroll creates four new images based on the original prompt and settings.
Simple Editing
Midjourney has a simple editor. You can erase parts of an image and then add a new prompt. For example, erase the top part of a person's picture and add "Iron Man suit" to put them in the suit. You can change hair or add a hat this way.
Remember, Midjourney is not good at adding text or logos. Use other tools if you need words in your image.

Get Consistent Styles with Personalization
One powerful feature helps you train Midjourney to create images in a specific style.
Click "Create". You'll see images with different styles.
Choose styles you like to train your personal profile. Once set up, any prompt you enter will try to follow that style.
Use the "Mood Board" function to upload your own images. Midjourney learns their style and gives you a code. Use this code in your prompts to make new images in the style of your uploaded pictures (like making anything look like Pokemon).
These personalization features give you specific codes (like `sref` or profile codes) that help make your images consistent and match your vision.
Key Tips for Better Results
Midjourney can create amazing images from just a few words. Here are some tips for getting the best results:
Use core keywords: Instead of long sentences, use simple words like "puppy, mountain, sea."
Put important elements first: The words at the beginning of your prompt have more weight. "Puppy beach day" focuses on the puppy. "Beach day puppy" focuses on the beach.
Visualize first: Before generating, picture the image in your mind. After generating, compare it to your idea. Think about why it's different and how changing the prompt might fix it. This helps you improve much faster than just making lots of images.
Midjourney offers different speed options (Fast, Turbo, Relax) which use up your subscription time differently. Check your account to manage your time and use it efficiently before it resets each month.
Put Midjourney to Work for You
Mastering Midjourney takes practice, but understanding these features makes a big difference. From exploring styles to using complex settings and editing tools, you can create exactly what you imagine. With personalization, you can even build your own unique style.
