Midjourney is an AI image generation tool that creates high-quality images from text descriptions. It's known for producing the most aesthetically pleasing AI art and is popular among designers, artists, and content creators.

How much does Midjourney cost?

Midjourney plans: Basic ($10/month, ~200 images), Standard ($30/month, 15 hours fast), Pro ($60/month, 30 hours fast). No free tier currently available. Most casual users find the Standard plan sufficient.

How do I write good Midjourney prompts?

Effective prompts include: subject description, art style (photorealistic, watercolor, etc.), lighting, mood, and technical parameters (--ar for aspect ratio, --v for version). Be specific about what you want but leave room for creative interpretation. Study community showcases for inspiration.

How do I use Midjourney?

Midjourney works through Discord or the web interface (alpha.midjourney.com). Type /imagine followed by your prompt. It generates 4 image variations. Use U1-U4 to upscale favorites, V1-V4 for variations. The web interface offers more intuitive controls.

What is Midjourney V6?

Midjourney V6 is the latest major version with dramatically improved text rendering, photorealism, and prompt understanding. It follows prompts more accurately and produces fewer artifacts. Use --v 6 or set it as default in /settings.

Can I use Midjourney images commercially?

Yes, paid subscribers own the images they create and can use them commercially. Free trial images are licensed under Creative Commons. Always check current terms, especially for sensitive use cases like trademarks or merchandise.

How does Midjourney compare to DALL-E and Stable Diffusion?

Midjourney produces the most aesthetically pleasing images with a distinct artistic style. DALL-E (OpenAI) excels at following complex prompts precisely. Stable Diffusion is open source and runs locally. Choose based on quality needs, privacy requirements, and budget.
