Click on each question to reveal the answer!

✅ Answer: The basic command is /imagine followed by your text prompt. Example: /imagine a beautiful sunset over mountains
✅ Answer: Midjourney operates through Discord, a communication platform. You need to join the Midjourney Discord server to use the service.
✅ Answer: The --ar parameter sets the aspect ratio of your image. --ar 16:9 creates a wide, landscape-oriented image perfect for desktop wallpapers and videos.
✅ Answer: U buttons (U1-U4) upscale the selected image to a higher resolution with more details. V buttons (V1-V4) create variations of the selected image with similar style but different compositions.
✅ Answer: The Standard plan costs approximately ₹2,490 per month (based on $30 USD at ₹83 per dollar exchange rate).
✅ Answer: The --s parameter controls stylization. Values range from 0-1000. Lower values (0-300) create more realistic images, while higher values (600-1000) create more artistic and abstract results.
✅ Answer: The --no parameter is for negative prompts. It tells Midjourney what elements to exclude from the image. Example: --no people, cars (will avoid generating people or cars in the image).
✅ Answer: Yes, but only if you have a paid subscription plan (Standard, Pro, or Mega). The free trial and Basic plan are for personal use only. Always check the latest terms of service.
✅ Answer: The /blend command allows you to combine 2-5 images together to create a new blended image. This is useful for merging different concepts or styles.
✅ Answer: Annual subscriptions offer a 20% discount compared to monthly plans. For example, the Standard plan costs ₹2,490/month or ₹1,992/month if paid annually, saving you approximately ₹72 per month!
✅ Answer: Fast mode generates images in 30-60 seconds but uses your monthly fast hours. Relax mode is unlimited but takes 2-10 minutes per image. Only Standard, Pro, and Mega plans have Relax mode.
✅ Answer: Three important elements are: (1) Main Subject (what you want), (2) Style (photorealistic, oil painting, etc.), and (3) Details (lighting, colors, mood, composition). Example: "a red rose, macro photography, dew drops, morning light"
