Midjourney is an amazing tool for creating images from text. It gives you a lot of control over the final result. This guide will walk you through all the important parameters you can use to customize your images. If you have questions, please ask in the comments!
Understanding Midjourney Parameters
When you type a text prompt, Midjourney uses default settings to generate your image. You can change these default settings by adding specific parameters to your prompt. Parameters start with two dashes, followed by the parameter name, a space, and the value you want to use. For example:
--aspect 3:4
This tells Midjourney to create an image with a 3:4 aspect ratio. Remember to put parameters at the end of your prompt and separate them with spaces.
But are you tired of manually tweaking Midjourney parameters? Do you want to generate consistent, high-quality images effortlessly? Check out the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT! It can help you automate and enhance your Midjourney experience.
Version: Choosing the Right Model
The version parameter lets you choose which Midjourney model to use. To use a specific model, add the version parameter to your prompt:
--version 3 or --v 3
You can use values like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5.1, 6, 6.1. Each model has a different look and understands prompts differently. Try using the same prompt across different versions to see how Midjourney has evolved.
You can also use test models like --test or --testp. For anime-style images, use --niji followed by the model number.
Aspect Ratio: Controlling Image Dimensions
Aspect ratio is the relationship between the width and height of your image. The default is 1:1 (square). To change it, use --aspect or --ar followed by the ratio:
--ar 3:2
Use whole numbers. With the V6 models, you can use ratios up to about 14:1 or 1:14. There are limits to how tall or wide your images can be.
Chaos: Adding Variety
Chaos affects how diverse the results are. The default value is 0. You can use whole numbers up to 100 for maximum diversity. Add the chaos parameter to your prompt like this:
--chaos 50 or --c 50
A higher value gives you more varied results.
Style: Shaping the Aesthetic
[P]There are several parameters that control the style of your images.</P]
Stylize: Each Midjourney model has a default visual style. Stylize controls how strong that style is. The default value is 100, and the range is 0 to 1000. A higher value gives you more stylized results but may reduce how well the image follows your prompt. Add the stylize parameter to your prompt like this: `--stylize 500` or `--s 500`
Style Reference: This lets you apply the style of other images to your results. You can use image URLs or style codes. Add the style reference parameter to your prompt like this: `--style_reference <image URL>` or `--sr <image URL>`. You can also use `--sref random` to apply a random style.
Style Weight: Controls how much the style reference affects your results. The default value is 100, and the range is 0 to 1000. A higher value gives the style reference more influence. Add the style weight parameter to your prompt like this: `--style_weight 500` or `--sw 500`

Style (Raw): Minimizing Midjourney's Influence
[P]The style parameter lets you minimize Midjourney's default style. Use style raw for more photorealistic images. Add the style parameter to your prompt like this:</P]
--style raw
Quality: Balancing Detail and Speed
[P]The quality parameter controls how much time Midjourney spends generating your images. The default value is 1. Lower values mean faster generation but less detail. Higher values mean slower generation but more detail. Add the quality parameter to your prompt like this:</P]
--quality 2 or --q 2
Speed: Turbo, Fast, and Relax
[P]These parameters control how fast your images are generated.</P]
Turbo and fast use your fast GPU hours.
Relaxed mode does not (but is not available with all subscriptions).
[P]You can set your default speed mode in your settings or override it with a parameter:</P]
--turbo, --fast, or --relax
Repeat: Running Prompts Multiple Times
[P]Repeat tells Midjourney to run the same prompt multiple times. It only works with fast or turbo mode. To run a prompt five times, use:</P]
--repeat 5 or --r 5
Video: Creating Time-Lapses
[P]The video parameter creates a short time-lapse of your image being generated. Use:</P]
--video
After the image grid is complete, react to it with the envelope emoji to get a direct message with a link to the video.
Stop: Ending Generation Early
[P]The stop parameter lets you end image generation early. It takes values between 10 and 100. For example:</P]
--stop 50
This stops the process at 50% completion, which can be useful for softer, more abstract results.
Image Weight: Influencing with Images
Image weight only works with image prompts. It controls how much the images influence the results. The default value is 1. Add the image weight parameter to your prompt like this: `--image_weight 2` or `--iw 2`
Character Reference: Matching Characters
[P]Character reference tries to match the character in a reference image. Use:</P]
--character <image URL> or --cf <image URL>
[P]Then, use character weight to control how closely Midjourney matches the character's clothing and hairstyle:</P]
--character_weight 80 or --cw 80
Personalization: Creating Your Own Model
[P]Personalization lets you create your own custom Midjourney model. First, you need to teach Midjourney about your style. Then, use:</P]
--personalize or --p
[P]When enabled, your personalized model overrides the default Midjourney style.</P]
No: Excluding Elements
The no parameter tells Midjourney what you don't want in your image. Add the no parameter to your prompt like this: `--no trees, cars`
Tile: Creating Repeating Patterns
[P]Tile creates repeating patterns. Use:</P]
--tile
Seed: Controlling Randomness
[P]Each Midjourney job starts with a random noise pattern, which is linked to a seed number. To use a specific seed number, use:</P]
--seed 1234
This is useful for testing how different parameters affect results.
Weird: Adding the Unexpected
[P]The weird parameter adds strange and unexpected results. The default value is 0, and it takes values up to 3000. Use:</P]
--weird 100 or --w 100
