Text Generation

Generate images with words and phrases in them using quotation marks.

Add words to your images with double quotation marks!

Two images of cyberpunk cats with neon signs that say 'Midjourney' creating using a prompt with double quotation marks

Text in Images

When you use Midjourney version 6 or 6.1, you can actually get words or phrases to show up in your images by putting them inside double quotation marks (" "). For instance, if you want to create an image of a cyberpunk cat with a neon sign that says Midjourney, just surround "Midjourney" with quotation marks in your prompt.

Important: You need to use double quotation marks—single quotes or apostrophes (' ') won't work for this.

Best Practices

Text generation works best with the standard Latin alphabet, like English letters. If you stick to shorter words or phrases, you'll have a better chance of getting them to appear just right. It's also helpful to include things like "with the words" or "text" or "written" in your prompt.

If you encounter issues with getting the text exactly how you want it, consider using --style raw or lowering the Stylize value. You can also use the Editor on web or try the Vary Region feature in Discord to fix minor glitches.
