In addition to text prompts, you can also use images as part of a prompt to influence the composition, style, and colors of the generated image. This can be done alone or in combination with text prompts to create even more unique and varied results. w

To add images to your prompt, simply enter or paste the web address of the image stored online, which should end with a file extension like .png, .gif, or .jpg. Once you have added the image address, you can continue adding any additional text or parameters to complete your prompt and generate the desired image. Experiment with different combinations of image styles and parameters for even more exciting results.

✦ Image prompts go at the front of a prompt.

✦ Prompts must have two images or one image and add text to work.

✦ An image URL must be a direct link to an online image.

✦ In most browsers, right-click or long-press an image and select Copy Image Address to get the URL.

✦ The /blend command is a simplified image prompting process optimized for mobile users.

Upload an image to Discord

To use a personal image as part of a prompt, upload it to Discord. To upload an image, click the Plus sign next to where messages are typed. Select Upload a File, select an image, and send the message. To add this image to a prompt, begin typing /imagine as usual.

After the prompt box appears, drag the image file into the prompt box to add the image's URL. Alternatively, right-click the image, select Copy Link, and then paste the link within the prompt box.

Privacy Note: Upload images in your Direct Messages with the Midjourney Bot to prevent other server users from seeing an image. Image prompts are visible on the Midjourney website unless a user has Stealth Mode.

Aspect Ratio Tip: Crop images to the same aspect ratio as your final image for the best results.

Image weight parameter

Use the image weight parameter --iw to adjust the importance of the image vs. text portion of a prompt. The default value is used when no --iw is specified. Higher --iw values mean the image prompt will have more impact on the finished job.

See the Multi Prompts section for more information about the relative importance between parts of a prompt.
