Be respectful to other people and the team.

1: Join the Discord

Go to Midjourney.com, select Join the Beta, or go directly to the Midjourney Discord.

Before joining the Midjourney Discord server, you must have a Discord login.
Learn how to create one here.

2: Find a Newbies Channel

On the Midjourney Official Server

Select any newbies-# channel visible in the left sidebar.

On Other Servers

You can generate images with the Midjourney Bot on any server that has invited the Bot. Look for instructions on your server on where to use the Bot.

3: Use the /imagine Command

About Discord Commands

Interact with the Midjourney Bot on Discord using a Command. Commands are used to create images, change default settings, monitor user info, and perform other helpful tasks. The /imagine command generates a unique image from a short text description (known as a Prompt).

Using /imagine

1. Type /imagine prompt: or select the /imagine command from the slash commands pop-up.
2. Type a description of the image you want to create in the `prompt` field.
3. Click return to send your message.

Respect the Community Guidelines. Community guidelines apply wherever the Midjourney Bot is used.

If you don’t see a pop-up when typing the /imagine command, try logging out, updating the Discord app, and logging back in.

Commands only work in bot Channels. Commands will not work in regular channels like #trial-support.

4: Processes the Job

The Midjourney Bot takes about a minute to generate four options.

Generating an image activates the free Midjourney trial.Trial users can make roughly 25 Jobs before needing to subscribe.

A Job is any action that uses the Midjourney Bot. Jobs include using the /imagine command to create a gird of images, upscaling images, or creating image variations, all use your free trial time.

Use the /info command to check your Fast Time Remaining to see your remaining Trial time.

5: Upscale or Create Variations

After the initial image grid has finished generating, two rows of buttons appear:

U1 U2 U3 U4

U buttons upscale an image generating a larger version of the selected image and adding more details.

V1 V2 V3 V4

V buttons create slight variations of the selected grid image. Creating a variation generates a new image grid similar to the chosen image’s overall style and composition.

🔄

The 🔄 (re-roll) reruns a Job. In this case it would rerun the original prompt producing a new grid of images.

6: Rate Images

After using upscaling an image a new set of options will appear:

🪄 Make Variations 🔍 Light Upscale Redo 🔍 Beta Upscale Redo ↗️Web

Make Variations: creates a variation of the upscaled image and generates a new grid of four options.

Beta/Light Upscale Redo: redo the upscale using a different upscaler model.

Web: Open the image in your gallery on Midjourney.com

😖 😒 🙂 😍

Click a smiley button to rate any upscaled image on the Midjourney website or in Discord. Each day, the top 1000 image raters receive an hour of free, Fast Mode time. Rank your work or the work of others. Rank based on your personal style and opinion. Love the look, effort, colors, concept, or theme? Please give it a 😍!
