          Article Summary

          The Midjourney bot uses a seed number to create a field of visual noise, like television static, as a starting point to generate the initial image grids. Seed numbers are generated randomly for each image but can be specified with the --seed or --sameseed parameter. Using the same seed number and prompt will produce similar ending images.

          Read about the the seed parameter and the latest Midjourney Models here

          • --seed accepts whole numbers 0–4294967295.
          • --seed values only influence the initial image grid.
          • Identical --seed values using Model Versions 1, 2, 3, test, and testp will produce images with similar composition, color, and details.
          • Identical --seed values using Model Versions 4, 5, and niji will produce nearly identical images.
          • Seed numbers are not static and should not be relied upon between sessions.

          Seed Parameter

          If no Seed is specified, Midjourney will use a randomly generated seed number, producing a wide variety of options each time a prompt is used.

          Jobs run three times with random seeds:

          prompt example: /imagine prompt celadon owl pitcher

          Jobs run two times with --seed 123:

          prompt example: /imagine prompt celadon owl pitcher --seed 123

          Sameseed Parameter

          --seed values create a single large random noise field applied across all images in the initial grid. When --sameseed is specified, all images in the initial grid use the same starting noise and will produce very similar generated images.

          --sameseed accepts whole numbers 0–4294967295.
          --sameseed is only compatible with Model Versions 1, 2, 3, test, and testp.

          Early visual noise from
          --sameseed
          Example image of early noise field used to generate images with Midjourney parameter sameseed

          --sameseed 12345

          Finished Job made with
          --sameseed
          Example image images with Midjourney parameter sameseed

          --sameseed 12345

          Early visual noise without
          --sameseed
          Example image of early noise field used to generate images with Midjourney

          --seed 12345

          Finished Job made without
          --sameseed
          Example image image made with Midjourney

          --seed 12345

          How to Find a Job's Seed Number

          Use a Discord Emoji Reaction

          Find the seed number of a Job in discord by reacting with an ✉️ envelope emoji to a Job.

          Animated Gif showing how to use the Emoji React with an Envelope in Discord to find a Job's seed number


          Use The Show Command to Bring Back Old Jobs

          To get the seed number for a past image, copy the job ID and use the /show <Job ID #> command with that ID to revive the Job. You can then react to the newly regenerated Job with an ✉️ envelope emoji.

          How To Change Seed Numbers

          Use the --seed or --sameseed Parameter

          Add --seed <value> or --sameseed <value> to the end of your prompt.
