Simple Ways to Find and Use Midjourney Style Codes

Midjourney V6 brought us style codes, or sref codes. These codes add a specific look or feel to your generated images. Finding the right code can greatly change your results. Many people share and collect these codes online. Knowing where to look makes it much easier to find the perfect style for your next image.

This post shares some great places to find Midjourney style codes. We will also cover simple ways to use them in your prompts to get the looks you want.

Want to make finding and using these codes even easier? The TitanXT Midjourney Automation Suite can help streamline your workflow when working with different styles.

Finding Style Codes

Here are some popular places where you can discover style codes shared by other Midjourney users.

YouTube

Some YouTube channels focus on Midjourney tips and tools. One such channel is "Than". They put out videos that show different style codes. You can see images created with each code on screen, often with the prompt used. This is a simple way to find styles while watching.

Look for videos that showcase collections of codes. You'll see the image and the corresponding sref code listed.

Creator Impact Website

Websites dedicated to AI art resources are another good source. The Creator Impact website has a stylesheet with many style codes listed. You can scroll through codes and see examples right on the page.

They also sometimes organize codes into galleries based on style type, like digital or 3D art. This can help you narrow down your search.

AI IQ Portal

The AI IQ Portal offers a resource for Midjourney users, which includes style codes. They have codes available on their page and also may offer a premium option for even more codes. They often provide a visual index so you can preview the styles before trying them.

Midjourney Sref Website

The website midjourneysref.com is home to a few hundred style codes. A useful feature of this site is filtering. You can filter the codes by type, like "manga art" or "photography". If you click on a code, you can often see the images and prompts used individually.

X (Formerly Twitter)

The social platform X is very active with AI art creators. Many users share their Midjourney images and prompts, including the style codes they used. You can search for "#sref" to find posts where people are sharing codes and the results they got.

Following specific accounts that regularly share Midjourney tips and codes is also a good idea. Look for users known for posting about sref codes and tutorials.

Managing all these codes and prompts manually can be time-consuming. Consider using a tool like the TitanXT Midjourney Automation Suite to help organize and apply different styles more efficiently.

Using and Combining Style Codes

You've found some codes. How do you use them? Add "--sref [code number]" at the end of your prompt. For example, if the code is 137, you would add "--sref 137".

Adjusting Style Strength

You can change how much a style code affects your image using the "--ssw" parameter (style weight). The default weight is 100. You can increase it up to 1000 for a stronger effect or decrease it below 100 for a weaker effect. Add it after the style code, like "--sref 137 --ssw 500".

Mixing Multiple Styles

You can use more than one style code in a single prompt. Just list them separated by a space after "--sref". For example, "--sref 137 500". Midjourney will try to combine the styles from these codes.

You can also control the strength of each code when mixing them. After each code, add "::" followed by a number. This number is the weight for that specific code. For example, "--sref 137::1 500::2". This means code 500 will have more influence (weight 2) than code 137 (weight 1).

Using Images with Style Codes

You can combine a style code with an image prompt. Upload an image and drag it into the prompt box, or use its URL. Then add your text prompt and include the "--sref [code number]". Midjourney will try to incorporate the visual style of the uploaded image along with the style code.

Discovering Style Phrases

Sometimes you might get an image you like the style of, even if it was generated with a style code, and want to understand the descriptive words Midjourney associates with that look. You can use the "/describe" command.

Type "/describe" and upload the image with the style you like. Midjourney will give you four example text prompts that describe the image's style. You can use parts of these descriptions in new prompts, tweaking them to see what effect different words have on the style.

Conclusion

Finding and using Midjourney style codes can greatly expand the range of images you can create. Whether you use dedicated websites, social media, or YouTube, there are many pools of codes to explore. Experiment with combining and weighting codes to achieve unique visual results.

Finding, managing, and testing many different style codes and combinations can take time. Tools like the TitanXT Midjourney Automation Suite are designed to help you work faster and explore more style options with less manual effort.

Have fun exploring these resources and finding new styles!
