What Is Midjourney? 

Midjourney is an AI image generator that turns your text prompts into detailed visuals — anything from futuristic landscapes to surreal portraits. Originally only available through Discord, it now has a full-featured web app, making it way easier to use for people who don’t want to mess with chat commands. 

It stands out for its artistic, stylized outputs and is a favorite among creators who want more character and flair in their AI art. You can create images, edit them, expand them, and even use reference photos — all without needing any design skills. 

How to Sign Up for Midjourney 

Getting started with Midjourney is super simple. All you need is a Google or Discord account. Just head over to midjourney.com and click Sign Up. 

You’ll be asked to log in with one of your accounts. Once you’re in, you’ll land on the Midjourney web app where you can explore top community creations or jump straight into generating your own. 

Note: Midjourney no longer offers a free trial. To start creating images, you’ll need a paid plan. The Basic plan starts at $10/month and gives you around 200 image generations. 

Using the Midjourney Web App 

Once you’re logged in, the web app opens up with a clean, creative interface. At the top, you’ll see a bar asking, “What will you imagine?” — that’s where you type your prompt to start generating images. 

Here’s a quick tour of what you’ll see: 

• Create: This is your main workspace. You’ll enter prompts and view the results here. 

• Organize: All your past creations live here, sorted for easy access. 

• Explore: Browse top-rated images from other users to get inspired. 

• Chat and Tasks: Optional sections if you want to join the Midjourney community or earn credits by helping rate images. 

It’s designed to be beginner-friendly while giving you powerful tools under the hood. No Discord, no commands — just type and create. 

How to Create an AI Image 

Creating your first image in Midjourney is as easy as typing a sentence. 

1. Go to the Create tab. 
2. Type a prompt into the bar at the top — for example:
   “A cyberpunk cat sitting on a neon-lit rooftop, 4K, cinematic lighting” 
3. Hit Enter and wait a few seconds. 

Midjourney will generate four image options based on your prompt. From there, you can pick the one you like best, edit it, upscale it, or create new variations. 

Need ideas? Try prompts like: 

• “A fairytale castle in a glowing forest, watercolor style” 

• “Hyper-realistic portrait of an astronaut lost in space” 

• “Minimalist logo of a fox wearing sunglasses” 

Midjourney’s default style adds a creative touch to nearly everything — so even basic prompts often turn out impressive. 

Editing and Upscaling Images 

Once you’ve got a set of images, click on the one you like to see your editing options. 

Here’s what you can do: 

• Upscale Subtle / Creative: Makes your image larger and more detailed. Subtle keeps it clean; Creative adds flair. 

• Vary Subtle / Strong: Creates four new versions based on your original. Great for exploring slight or bold changes. 

• Remix: Lets you tweak the original prompt and rerun it with the current image as a base. 

• Zoom and Pan: Expand your image outward or move the canvas in a chosen direction. 

• Editor: Use the in-browser tool to erase parts, expand edges, or add details (called inpainting and outpainting). 

The best part? You don’t need Photoshop or design experience. Just click around, test things out, and see what works. 

Saving and Downloading Your Creations 

Once you’re happy with your image, saving it is instant. 

Just click the download icon in the top-right corner of the image. It’ll save directly to your device in high quality. 

You’ll also see other handy options: 

• Heart icon ❤️ to favorite and save it to your likes 

• Magnifying glass 🔍 to find similar images 

• Three dots ⋯ for more actions like copying the prompt or opening in Discord 

All your generated images are stored in the Organize tab, so you can come back to them anytime. 

Using Image Prompts and Styles 

Midjourney doesn’t just work with text — you can also upload images to guide the look or subject of your creations. 

Here’s how to use images in your prompts: 

1. Click the image icon in the prompt bar. 
2. Upload a photo from your device. 
3. Choose how you want to use it: 

• Image prompt: Uses the image content as the main idea. 
• Style reference: Mimics the mood, color, and style. 
• Character reference: Keeps specific features or likeness from the image. 

You can even shift-click to combine modes — like using one photo for both content and style. It’s especially useful if you want a consistent character or visual theme across multiple images. 

Prompting Tips: Get Better Results 

Getting great results from Midjourney starts with writing better prompts. You don’t need to be a poet — but a few small tricks make a big difference. 

Here’s what works: 

• Be specific
  Instead of “a robot”, try “a vintage 1960s-style robot reading a book in a cozy library”. 

• Include key details
  Mention the style, lighting, colors, mood, or camera angle. For example:
  “a foggy forest at sunrise, cinematic lighting, muted tones, moody atmosphere” 

• Don’t overdo it
  Too many adjectives can confuse the AI. Say “gigantic” instead of “big, huge, large”. 

• Use parameters
  Try adding things like –ar 16:9 to change the aspect ratio or –no text to block unwanted elements. 

Midjourney already leans toward artistic outputs, so even basic prompts look good. But with a little extra effort, you’ll get results that really stand out.
