Article Summary
Permutation Prompts allow you to quickly generate variations of a Prompt with a single /imagine command. By including lists of options separated with commas , within curly braces {} in your prompt, you can create multiple versions of a prompt with different combinations of those options.
You can use Permutation Prompts to create combinations and permutations involving any part of a Midjourney Prompt, including text, image prompts, parameters, or prompt weights.
Permutation prompts are only available for Pro Subscribers using Fast mode.
Permutation Prompt Basics
Separate your list of options within curly brackets {} to quickly create and process multiple prompt variations.
Prompt Example:
/imagine prompt a {red, green, yellow} bird creates and processes three Jobs.
/imagine prompt a red bird
/imagine prompt a green bird
/imagine prompt a yellow bird
The Midjourney Bot processes each Permutation Prompt variation as an individual Job, each Job consumes GPU minutes. Combo Prompts that create more than five Jobs will show a confirmation message before they begin processing.GPU Minutes
Permutation Prompt Examples
Prompt Text Variations
The prompt /imagine prompt a naturalist illustration of a {pineapple, blueberry, rambutan, banana} bird will create and process four Jobs:

a naturalist illustration of a rambutan bird
a naturalist illustration of a banana bird
Prompt Parameter Variations
The prompt /imagine prompt a naturalist illustration of a fruit salad bird --ar {3:2, 1:1, 2:3, 1:2} will create and process four Jobs with different aspect ratios:
a naturalist illustration of a fruit salad bird --ar 3:2
a naturalist illustration of a fruit salad bird --ar 1:1
a naturalist illustration of a fruit salad bird --ar 2:3
a naturalist illustration of a fruit salad bird --ar 1:2
The prompt /imagine prompt a naturalist illustration of a fruit salad bird --{v 5, niji, test} will create and process three Jobs using different Midjourney Model Versions:
a naturalist illustration of a fruit salad bird --v 5
a naturalist illustration of a fruit salad bird --niji
a naturalist illustration of a fruit salad bird --test
Multiple and Nested Permutations
It is possible to use multiple sets of bracketed options in a single prompt.
/imagine prompt a {red, green} bird in the {jungle, desert} creates and processes four Jobs.
/imagine prompt a red bird in the jungle
/imagine prompt a red bird in the desert
/imagine prompt a green bird in the jungle
/imagine prompt a green bird in the desert
It is also possible to nest sets of bracketed options inside other sets of brackets within a single prompt:
Example: /imagine prompt A {sculpture, painting} of a {seagull {on a pier, on a beach}, poodle {on a sofa, in a truck}}.
/imagine prompt A sculpture of a seagull on a pier.
/imagine prompt A sculpture of a seagull on a beach.
/imagine prompt A sculpture of a poodle on a sofa.
/imagine prompt A sculpture of a poodle in a truck.
/imagine prompt A painting of a seagull on a pier.
/imagine prompt A painting of a seagull on a beach.
/imagine prompt A painting of a poodle on a sofa.
/imagine prompt A painting of a poodle in a truck.
Escape Character
If you want to include a , within the curly brackets that does not act as a separator place a backslash \ directly before it.
imagine prompt {red, pastel, yellow} bird produces three Jobs
/imagine prompt a red bird
/imagine prompt a pastel bird
/imagine prompt a yellow bird
A maximum of 40 Jobs can be created with a single Permutation Prompt.imagine prompt {red, pastel \, yellow} bird produces two Jobs
