Midjourney is a powerful tool for creating images from text. But to truly master it, you need to understand its parameters. These parameters let you control various aspects of image generation, from aspect ratio to model version. Let's break down everything you need to know to make the most of Midjourney.
Understanding Midjourney Parameters
When you enter a text prompt, Midjourney uses default settings. You can change these by adding specific parameters to your prompt. Parameters start with two dashes, followed by the parameter name and its value. For example:
Instead of sticking to default settings, you can take control of your creative process. Parameters always go at the end of your prompt, separated by spaces. Ready to dive in?

Key Midjourney Parameters
Let's explore some of the most important parameters you should know:
Version
The version parameter controls which Midjourney model is used to generate your images. To specify a version, use `--version` or `--v` followed by the model number. For example, `--v 5` will use the V5 model. Current options include:
3
4
5
5.1
5.2
6
6.1
You can use test models too. Use `--test` or `--testp`. These models offer unique capabilities and aesthetics.
Aspect Ratio
Aspect ratio defines the width and height of your image. The default is 1:1 (square). To change it, use `--aspect` or `--ar` followed by the desired ratio (e.g., `--ar 3:4`). You must use whole numbers.
Chaos
Chaos affects the diversity of your results. The default is 0. Use `--chaos` or `--c` followed by a number between 0 and 100. Higher values mean more diverse images.
Stylize
Stylize controls the strength of Midjourney's default aesthetic. Use `--stylize` or `--s`. The default is 100, with a range from 0 to 1000. Higher values produce more stylized results but may reduce prompt accuracy.
Style Reference
Style reference (`--style_reference` or `--sref`) is a powerful feature that applies aesthetic elements from a reference image to your results. You can use image URLs or style codes. For a random style, use `--sref random`.
Style Weight
Style weight (`--style_weight` or `--sw`) controls the influence of the style reference. The default is 100, with a range from 0 to 1000. Higher values increase the style's impact.
Style
The style parameter lets you minimize Midjourney's aesthetic influence. Use `--style raw` for more photorealistic images. This reduces the AI's artistic interpretation.
Quality
Quality controls the processing power used to generate your images. Use `--quality` or `--q`. Lower values generate images faster but with less detail. Higher values take longer but produce more detailed results. Models have different quality value options. The default value is 1.
Speed
Turbo, Fast, and Relax determine image generation speed. Turbo and Fast use your GPU hours. Relax doesn't, but it's slower. To use them, include `--turbo`, `--fast`, or `--relax` in your prompt. You can change these settings too.
Repeat
Repeat runs the same prompt multiple times. Use `--repeat` or `--r` followed by the number of repeats (e.g., `--r 5`). It works with Fast or Turbo mode only.
Video
Video creates a time-lapse of the image generation. Include `--video` in your prompt. It works best on Discord, where you can react with an envelope emoji to receive a direct message with the video link.
Stop
Stop ends image generation early. Use `--stop` followed by a percentage (10-100). For example, `--stop 50` stops at 50% completion, creating softer, more abstract images.
Image Weight
Image weight (`--iw`) is used with image prompts to control the influence of the image on the results. The default is 1, and it accepts decimal values between 0 and 3 in Midjourney V6.
Character Reference
Character reference (`--cref`) matches a character from a reference image. Paste the image URL after `--cref`. On the web, drag and drop the image and select the character icon.
Character Weight
Character weight (`--cw`) controls how closely Midjourney matches the clothing and hairstyle of the reference character. The default is 100, with a range from 0 to 100. At 0, only the face is matched.
Personalize
Personalize (`--personalize` or `--p`) applies your custom Midjourney model to your results. You first need to teach Midjourney your style. Once enabled, it overrides the default aesthetic.
No
No excludes specific elements from your image. Use `--no` followed by what you want to exclude, separated by commas (e.g., `--no trees, birds`).
Tile
Tile creates repeating patterns. Just add `--tile` to your prompt. The resulting images can be tiled seamlessly. Use version 6.1 or higher for upscaling to maintain seamless borders.
Seed
Seed specifies the initial visual noise pattern. Use `--seed` followed by a number. Using the same seed number produces similar results, useful for testing parameter changes.
Weird
Weird (`--weird` or `--w`) creates strange and unexpected results. The default is 0, with values up to 3000. Experiment to find the right value for your prompt.
