Describe

Use Describe to turn your own images into inspiring prompt ideas.

Let your images inspire new ideas—use Describe to explore creative prompts!

What is Describe?

The Describe tool helps you generate creative prompts by analyzing an image you upload and then offering words and phrases that describe the image. It's a great way to discover new style words and get inspiration for your text prompts.

Describe is an image-to-text tool that can help guide your creativity, but the suggested prompts won't precisely copy your image. If you use Describe repeatedly on the same image, Midjourney will give you a different set of suggestions each time.

Using Describe

• Click & Drag

  Click and drag your image to the Imagine bar and you'll see a panel pop up that says "Drop image to describe." If you release your image over that panel Midjourney will generate four prompts on your Create page.

  

  Click the "Use Prompt" button on any of the prompts to add the text to your Imagine bar, or you can click the "Run all prompts" button to try all four of them right away.

  Note: When you refresh your Create page the Describe suggestions will disappear.

  Uploads Library

  Start by clicking on the image icon in the Imagine bar to open the images panel. Hover your mouse over your image in the uploads library to see more options and click the "i" icon to use Describe on your image.

  Midjourney will provide a list of words, phrases, and references that describe your image. Click any of these suggestions to add them to the Imagine bar! Use the refresh button to run Describe again and see more suggestions.

  

  Right-Click

  Right-click any image from your Create or Organize pages and select "Describe Image" and Midjourney will generate four prompts on your Create page.

• 1. Open your Discord app and go to the message box. Make sure you are in a server or channel that the Midjourney Bot has permission to access.
  2. Type / in the message box. You’ll see a list of commands pop up above.
  3. Keep typing until you see /describe. This helps narrow down the options, just like a search field.
  4. Once you spot /describe in the list, click it.
     
  5. Select between uploading an image from your device (image), or providing an image URL (link). Then select your image file or paste your URL.
     
  6. Press Enter or Send to execute the command.

  The results will appear in your chat feed. Midjourney will return 4 prompt suggestions for your image. Use the numbered buttons to run individual prompts, or use 🎉 Imagine all to try all 4! The refresh button will generate 4 new prompt suggestions.
