Making Your First Image
Excited to start creating? The Midjourney website now has all the features you need to make and edit your creations! Follow these steps to make your first image:
- Visit Your Create Page: Go to the Create page on midjourney.com. This is where your images come to life, and you can see them appear in real-time.
-
Use the Imagine Bar: At the top of the page, you'll see the Imagine bar. Here, type what you'd like to see—this is your prompt. Start with something simple like "vibrant California poppies."
- Generate Your Image: After pressing Enter or the send button if you're using a mobile device, Midjourney creates a set of four images. Watch as your images take form.
- Congratulations! Once it reaches 100%, you're done! You've created your first Midjourney images.
Writing and crafting prompts can be an art in and of itself. To learn more, check out our Prompt Basics and Art of Prompting articles.
