Midjourney

Midjourney is an independent AI research lab that creates one of the world's most advanced text-to-image generation tools. Founded by David Holz in San Francisco, this self-funded company has built an AI system that can understand natural language descriptions and turn them into beautiful, high-quality artwork.

Unlike other AI image generators, Midjourney focuses specifically on creating aesthetically pleasing, artistic images with exceptional attention to detail, composition, and style. The platform originally worked exclusively through Discord but now offers both Discord and web-based interfaces.

With over 20 million active users, Midjourney has become the go-to choice for professionals and hobbyists who want to create stunning visual content. The latest V7 model, released in 2025, offers improved text understanding, better image quality, and more coherent results than ever before.

Getting started with Midjourney is straightforward, though you'll need a paid subscription since free trials are no longer available. You can access Midjourney through two ways: Discord or their web interface at midjourney.com.

For Discord users:

• Join the official Midjourney Discord server

• Subscribe to a plan using the /subscribe command

• Use the /imagine command followed by your text description

• Wait for the AI to generate four image options

• Use U1, U2, U3, or U4 buttons to upscale your favorite image

• Use V1, V2, V3, or V4 buttons to create variations

For web users:

• Visit midjourney.com and create an account

• Subscribe to a plan and access the web interface

• Type your prompt in the text box and generate images

• Use the editing tools to upscale, vary, or modify your images

Tips for better results: Be specific and descriptive in your prompts, include style references like "oil painting" or "photorealistic", experiment with different artistic styles and techniques, and use the Vary Region feature to edit specific parts of your images.
