Want to start creating amazing images with Midjourney? You'll need to set it up through Discord first. This is the required platform for accessing Midjourney. Here's a simple guide to get you started.
First Step: Get Discord
The first thing you need is a Discord account. If you don't have one yet, sign up for a free account on the Discord website.
Sign Up and Verify
Go to the Discord sign-up page.
Enter your details and create your account.
You'll need to confirm you're human, often through a simple test.
Next, verify your email address. Check your inbox for the verification email from Discord and follow the link. This step is important to fully activate your account.
Once your email is verified, you can log into Discord. You can create your own private server if you like, just for organizing things, but this isn't strictly necessary for joining Midjourney.
Joining Midjourney
Now that you have Discord, you can connect with Midjourney.
Find the Official Server
Go to the official Midjourney website, midjourney.com.
Look for the option that says "Join the Beta" or similar. Clicking this should redirect you to Discord.
Once in Discord, look for the 'Explore Discoverable Servers' section.
Search for "Midjourney." It's a very popular server, so it will likely be one of the first results.
You'll now be able to see the Midjourney server within Discord. At this point, you are previewing the server but don't have full access to generate images yet.
Activating Your Midjourney Membership
Midjourney requires a paid subscription to use its features. There are no free trials available according to recent changes.
Choose and Pay
While viewing the Midjourney server, you should see a message about joining the server fully.
To activate your plan, go to the Midjourney account page: midjourney.com/account. You may need to log in again.
Choose a subscription plan. The basic plan starts at $10 per month. If you pay yearly, the cost per month is lower, around $8.
Select your desired plan and complete the payment process.
The basic plan is great for getting started. As your image creation needs grow, like for print-on-demand, client work, or content creation, you might consider upgrading to a higher tier plan later on, like the $30 per month standard plan.
Managing your Midjourney workflow can take time. Consider checking out the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT. It can help streamline parts of your process.
After activating your plan on the website, your Discord account linked to the same email should now have full access to the Midjourney server features. If you ever have trouble accessing features after subscribing, double-check that you are logged into the correct Discord account associated with your Midjourney payment, especially if you have multiple Discord accounts.
Exploring the Midjourney Server
Once your membership is active, you can start generating images within the Midjourney Discord server.
Navigating Channels
On the left sidebar of Discord, click the Midjourney icon to go to the main server page. Here you'll see different channels. Look for channels designated for 'newbies' if you're just starting. These are shared spaces where many users are generating images.
You can also learn how to create your own private channel or server, though that's a bit more advanced.
Understanding Image Results
When you enter a prompt into a Midjourney channel, the bot will process it and typically provide you with four image options. Below the images, you'll see buttons:
U buttons (U1, U2, U3, U4) are for Upscaling a specific image. Clicking U1 will create a larger, more detailed version of the first image.
V buttons (V1, V2, V3, V4) are for creating Variations of a specific image. Clicking V2 will generate a new set of four images based on variations of the second image.
There is usually also a refresh button to generate an entirely new set of four images using your original prompt.
The images are generated step-by-step, which is cool to watch. While the generated images are generally high quality and usable immediately, some users use other programs to upscale them further for specific needs like high-resolution printing.
To get the most powerful results, learning to craft more detailed and specific prompts is key. There are many resources available to help you improve your prompting skills and create richer content instantly.
For users generating many images, keeping track can be challenging. Tools like the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT can help manage and organize your creations.
Getting started with Midjourney via Discord is a straightforward process involving setting up Discord, joining the Midjourney server, and activating your paid membership. With these steps completed, you're ready to explore the possibilities of AI image generation!
