Overview

Leading text-to-image model known for artistic, photorealistic outputs.

Read detailed overview
Midjourney is a generative AI platform focused on visual creation. Users can generate images from prompts, guide outputs with uploaded images, edit results, organize creations, and animate still images into short videos through the Midjourney website and Discord. From an expert-review perspective, Midjourney is notable for its broad creative controls rather than only basic text-to-image prompting. Its workflow includes style references, character and object references, personalization, moodboards, image editing, variations, upscaling, aspect-ratio controls, and image-to-video generation. The platform is well-suited to creators, designers, marketers, artists, and visual teams that need fast concept exploration, visual direction, campaign imagery, storyboards, and stylized creative assets. It is less suitable for teams that need an official public API, strict private-by-default generation on lower tiers, or fully predictable production outputs.

No matching questions.

Is Midjourney free?
No. Midjourney discontinued its free trial and requires a paid subscription. Plans start at $10/month (Basic) for roughly 200 image generations. Higher tiers ($30–$120/month) offer more GPU time, stealth mode, and concurrent fast generations.
How do I use Midjourney?
Midjourney runs primarily through Discord. After subscribing, you join the Midjourney server and generate images by typing /imagine followed by your prompt in a bot channel or DM. A web interface at midjourney.com is also available for browsing, organizing, and editing your creations.
How does Midjourney compare to DALL-E 3?
Midjourney is widely considered the leader in artistic and photorealistic image quality, with superior aesthetics, lighting, and composition. DALL-E 3 integrates natively with ChatGPT and excels at following complex text prompts and rendering readable text in images. Midjourney has no public API; DALL-E 3 is available via API.
Does Midjourney have an API?
No. Midjourney does not offer a public API. All image generation happens through Discord or the Midjourney web app. Developers who need programmatic image generation typically use alternatives like DALL-E 3, Stable Diffusion, or Leonardo AI, which provide official API access.
Can Midjourney generate video?
Yes. Midjourney has introduced video generation in beta, allowing users to create short animated clips from images or text prompts. Video features are available on paid plans and continue to improve with each model update. Check the Midjourney changelog for the latest video capabilities and limits.
