How to Use Midjourney

Midjourney runs entirely inside Discord β€” here's how to go from zero to your first AI-generated image.

  1. Join the Midjourney Discord server

    Midjourney operates inside Discord, so start by joining its official Discord server.

  2. Subscribe to a plan

    Generating images requires a paid subscription plan through the Midjourney website.

  3. Generate an image with "/imagine"

    Type "/imagine" in a Discord channel and follow it with a prompt describing the image you want.

  4. Upscale or create variations

    Midjourney generates four options at once β€” click "U" to upscale your favorite or "V" to generate variations based on it.

  5. Why it's useful

    You don't need any drawing skill β€” describing what you want in words is enough to produce a polished, original-looking image within seconds.

Prompting is the real skill

Since everything runs through short text prompts, getting results you like is mostly about learning how to describe style, lighting, composition, and mood clearly. Adding reference details like an art style or camera lens term tends to push results in a more specific direction.

Know the usage and rights rules before you rely on it

Subscription tiers differ in how many images you can generate, whether your generations are public by default, and what commercial usage rights you're granted β€” worth checking current terms if you plan to use outputs commercially. This is general information; consult the platform's official terms for anything commercial or legal in nature.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Midjourney without Discord?

Midjourney has been rolling out a standalone web interface for subscribers, but the classic and most widely documented way to use it is still through Discord.

Can I use the images I generate commercially?

This depends on your subscription plan and current terms of service, which have changed over time β€” check Midjourney's official terms before using an image commercially.
