Transform any text description into stunning, high-quality images in seconds
Text-to-image generation is the core capability that made Midjourney famous. You describe what you want in plain English — or any language — and Midjourney's model interprets your words and renders a high-quality image. V6.1 produces results that rival professional photography and illustration, making it the most powerful creative tool available to non-designers.
Describe your image in natural language. Include the subject, environment, lighting, mood, art style, and any technical parameters. The more specific you are, the more control you have over the output.
The model analyzes your prompt, identifies key visual elements, and begins rendering. It draws on its training across millions of images to understand style references, lighting conditions, and compositional principles.
Midjourney always generates a 2x2 grid of four variations. Each interprets your prompt slightly differently, giving you creative options to choose from rather than a single result.
Click U1-U4 to upscale your favorite to full resolution. Use V1-V4 to generate variations of a specific image. Use Vary (Subtle) for minor tweaks or Vary (Strong) for bigger changes while keeping the composition.

Brand needs a lifestyle image for Instagram
Young woman reading a book in a sunlit Parisian cafe, warm golden hour light, film photography aesthetic, candid street photography style, shallow depth of field, warm tones --ar 4:5 --v 6.1
Put the most important element first in your prompt. Midjourney weights earlier words more heavily, so "a golden retriever in a field" produces better dog-focused results than "a field with a golden retriever."
Add style references like "cinematic photography", "watercolor illustration", "oil painting", "vector art", or "concept art" to dramatically shape the aesthetic. Without a style reference, Midjourney defaults to its own interpretation.
Add --no text, watermark, blurry, low quality to prevent common issues. For portraits, --no extra limbs, distorted hands prevents the anatomical errors AI image generators are known for.
Never start from scratch on the second attempt. Use Vary (Subtle) on your best result to make incremental improvements rather than regenerating from the prompt.
