Go to any #General or #Newbie Channel
After joining the Midjourney server on Discord, you'll see several channels listed in the sidebar.
On the Midjourney Server
Locate and select any channel labeled general-# or newbie-#. These channels are designed for beginners to start using the Midjourney Bot. The Midjourney Bot will not generate images in other channels.
On Other Servers
You can generate images with the Midjourney Bot on any Discord server that has invited the Midjourney Bot. Look for instructions on your server on where to use the Bot.
Use the /imagine Command
Interact with the Midjourney Bot on Discord using slash commands. 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.
How to Use /imagine
- Type
/in the message box. You’ll see a list of commands pop up above. - Keep typing until you see
/imagine. This helps narrow down the options, just like a search field. - Once you spot
/imaginein the list, click it. If you aren't seeing any Midjourney commands, try our command troubleshooting tips. - Type your prompt into the prompt field.
- Press Enter or Send to execute the command.
Accept the Terms Of Service
Before generating any images, the Midjourney Bot will prompt you to accept the Terms Of Service. You must agree to these terms to proceed with image creation.
Image Generation Process
After submitting a text prompt, the Midjourney Bot processes your request, creating four unique image options within a minute. This process utilizes advanced Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), and each image generation counts towards the GPU time included with your Midjourney subscription. To monitor your available GPU time (Fast Time Remaining) use the /info command.
Select an Image or Create Variations
Once your initial image grid has been generated, two rows of buttons become available underneath your image grid.
U1 U2 U3 U4 Image Selection
In earlier versions of Midjourney, the U buttons were used for upscaling images. With the latest model, images are immediately generated at 1024 x 1024 pixels size. Now, the U buttons help you separate out your chosen image from the grid, making it easier to download and giving you access to additional editing and generation tools.
🔄 Re-run or Re-roll a Job
The 🔄 button re-runs a Job. In this case, it would re-run the original prompt producing a new grid of images.
V1 V2 V3 V4 Image Variation
The V buttons are used to create variations of the selected image. Each button generates a new image grid that maintains the general style and composition of the selected image.
Enhance or Modify Your Image
After singling out an image, an expanded set of options becomes available.
🪄 Vary (Strong) 🪄 Vary (Subtle)
Create a stronger or subtle variation of your selected image, generating a new grid of four options.
🔍 Zoom Out 2x 🔍 Zoom Out 1.5x 🔍 Custom Zoom
Zoom Out of your image, extending the canvas beyond its original boundaries without changing the content of the original image. The newly expanded canvas will be filled-in using guidance from the prompt and the original image.
⬅️ ➡️ ⬆️ ⬇️
The Pan buttons allow you to expand the canvas of an image in a chosen direction without changing the content of the original image. The newly expanded canvas will be filled in using guidance from the prompt and the original image.
