Midjourney Prompts, Tools & Guides

AI image generator known for a distinctive, often more painterly style. Combines a natural-language description with dash-parameters (--ar for ratio, --stylize for creative liberty, --chaos for variation) that control settings words alone can't. Knowing what each parameter changes matters more than adding more descriptive words.

FAQ

What do the dash-parameters like --ar and --stylize actually do?

--ar sets the aspect ratio (like 16:9 for widescreen). --stylize controls how much Midjourney leans on its own aesthetic judgment versus following your description literally -- higher values look more striking but less literal. --chaos increases variation between the initial results it generates.

Why does my result look different from what I described?

High --stylize values push results toward Midjourney's own aesthetic preferences even when the description is precise. Lowering stylize produces a result closer to a literal reading of the prompt.

Can I tell Midjourney what NOT to include in an image?

Yes, using --no followed by simple keywords (not a full sentence) -- for example, --no text, blur to exclude both from the result.

Do I need a Discord account to use Midjourney?

Midjourney now offers a web interface in addition to Discord, so a Discord account isn't strictly required to generate images, though the Discord community remains a major part of how people share and discuss results.
