Midjourney is an amazing tool that turns your text into cool pictures. But did you know you can control exactly how these pictures look? It's all about using parameters. Think of parameters as special instructions you give Midjourney to get the exact image you want. This guide will break down these parameters, so you can create stunning visuals every time.
Understanding Midjourney Parameters
When you type a prompt, Midjourney uses its default settings. But if you want something different, you can add parameters to your prompt. These parameters start with two dashes (--), followed by the parameter name and its value. For example, if you want a picture that's not square, you can use the aspect ratio parameter like this: --ar 3:4. This tells Midjourney to make an image with a 3:4 ratio instead of the default square shape.

Key Parameters to Master
Version Control
The version parameter lets you pick which Midjourney model to use. Each model has its own unique style and understands prompts differently. To use a specific model, add --version or --v followed by the model number. For example, --v 5 tells Midjourney to use model version 5. Trying different versions with the same prompt can show you how much Midjourney has improved over time. The latest models are always improving, so it's worth experimenting.
--v 3: Uses Midjourney V3 model.
--v 4: Uses Midjourney V4 model.
--v 5: Uses Midjourney V5 model.
Aspect Ratio
Aspect ratio is the relationship between the width and height of your image. The default is 1:1 (square), but you can change it with the --ar parameter. Just remember to use whole numbers and stay within the limits of approximately 14:1 or 1:14 for the V6 models. For example: --ar 16:9 creates a widescreen image.
Chaos
Chaos affects how diverse the results are. The default is 0, but you can increase it up to 100 for maximum diversity. A higher chaos value means more varied and unexpected images. Try --chaos 5 to add a little variety to your results.
Style Parameters
[P]These parameters let you control the visual style of your images.</P]
Stylize (--stylize or --s): Controls the strength of Midjourney's default aesthetic. The default is 100, and the range is 0 to 1000. Higher values give you more stylized results but might reduce how well the image follows your prompt.
Style Reference (--style_reference or --sref): This powerful feature lets you apply the style of one or more images to your results. You can use image URLs or style codes. For example: --sref https://example.com/image.jpg applies the style of the linked image.
Style Weight (--sw): Controls how much influence the style reference has on your results. The default is 100, and the range is 0 to 1000.
Style (--style): Lets you minimize Midjourney's default aesthetic for more photorealistic images. Use --style raw to reduce Midjourney's influence.

Quality and Speed
The quality parameter (--quality or --q) controls how much time Midjourney spends generating your images. Higher values mean more detail but slower generation. You can also use Turbo, Fast, and Relax modes to control the generation speed. Turbo and Fast use your fast GPU hours, while Relax mode doesn't.
Other Useful Parameters
Repeat (--repeat or --r): Runs the same prompt multiple times.
Video (--video): Creates a short time-lapse of your image being generated. (Works best on Discord)
Stop (--stop): Ends image generation early for softer, more abstract results.
Image Weight (--iw): Controls how much influence images have on your results when using image prompts.
Character Reference (--cref): Matches a character from a reference image.
Character Weight (--cw): Controls how closely Midjourney follows the clothing and hairstyle of the reference character.
Personalize (--p): Applies your personalized style to your results.
No (--no): Excludes specific elements from your image. For example, --no trees excludes trees from the image.
Tile (--tile): Creates seamless repeating patterns.
Seed (--seed): Uses a specific seed number to generate similar images.
Weird (--weird or --w): Creates strange and unexpected results.
Conclusion
Mastering Midjourney parameters is key to creating the exact images you want. Experiment with different parameters and values to see what works best for you. Don't be afraid to get creative and push the boundaries of what's possible. With practice, you'll be able to use these parameters to create stunning, unique visuals every time.
