Pro Tips

Expert tips for better results

Use V6 by adding --v 6 to your prompts for best 2026 results
Add --ar before generating to set aspect ratio: --ar 16:9 (cinematic), --ar 1:1 (Instagram), --ar 9:16 (social)
Use --stylize 250 for strict prompt following, --stylize 750 for artistic interpretation
Reference artists like Greg Rutkowski, Alphonse Mucha, Studio Ghibli for specific styles
Add --seed [number] for reproducibility when you find a style you like
Use --no to remove unwanted elements, e.g., --no text to avoid text in images
For consistent results, keep prompts under 100 words and focus on key elements
Combine --iw with reference image URL to blend your style with the prompt

FAQ

Common questions answered

Yes, absolutely! All prompts in this article are completely free. Just copy and paste them into Midjourney. You don't need any subscription to use basic prompts, though a subscription gives you more generation time. These prompts work with both free trials and paid plans.

Use Midjourney V6 for the best results in 2026. V6 offers the most photorealistic outputs, best text rendering in images, and improved prompt understanding. Add --v 6 to any prompt to ensure V6 is used. V6.1 is the latest but V6 remains the stable choice for production work.

To get consistent results, always include the --seed parameter if you want to reproduce a similar style. Adding artist references (like --by Greg Rutkowski) helps maintain style consistency. Also, use the same --stylize value - lower (250) means more strict adherence to your prompt, higher (750) means more artistic interpretation.

There are a few common issues: (1) Very long prompts can confuse the model - keep focused on 2-3 key elements; (2) Conflicting parameters like using --no while asking for something; (3) Some styles require specific artist references; (4) The aspect ratio --ar affects composition significantly.

If you have a Midjourney subscription, you generally own the images you create and can use them commercially. However, check Midjourney's current Terms of Service for any restrictions. High-profile trademark uses may have issues. For most commercial use cases like marketing materials, social media, and client work, you're covered with a paid subscription.

--ar sets the aspect ratio. Use --ar 16:9 for cinematic landscape/YouTube thumbnails, --ar 9:16 for Instagram/TikTok, --ar 1:1 for Instagram feed posts, --ar 3:4 for portraits, --ar 2:3 for film posters. The wrong ratio can significantly change composition.

After generating, you'll see U1-U4 buttons (upscale) and V1-V4 buttons (variations). Use U1-U4 to enlarge an image you like. Use V1-V4 to create 4 new variations of an image. You can also use Remix mode to modify a prompt before generating variations.

--stylize controls how artistic Midjourney's interpretation is. --stylize 250 gives you results that closely follow your prompt. --stylize 750 (default) adds artistic interpretation. --stylize 1000+ is very experimental. For commercial work, stick with 250-500 for predictable results.
