The Ultimate Midjourney Prompt Guide to Help You Unlock Creativity
Ultimate Midjourney Prompt Guide
Welcome to the Midjourney Prompt Guide! Midjourney is an incredible image-generating tool that can bring your ideas to life in stunning detail. Using prompts, you can easily create custom images that fit your exact specifications. With Midjourney, you can unleash your creativity and explore endless possibilities.
A prompt is a short text phrase that the Midjourney Bot interprets to produce an image. The Bot breaks down the words and phrases in a prompt into smaller pieces, called tokens, that can be compared to its training data and then used to generate an image. This means that the more specific and detailed your prompt is, the better the resulting image will be.
Whether you’re a designer, artist, or just someone who loves to create, Midjourney is the perfect tool to help you bring your ideas to life. So, let’s dive into the world of Midjourney and start creating amazing images today!
Basic Prompts

A basic prompt can be as simple as a single word, phrase or emoji
Advanced Prompts

More advanced prompts can include one or more image URLs, multiple text phrases, and one or more parameters
Even short single-word prompts will produce beautiful images in Midjourney’s default style, but you can create more interesting personalized results by combining concepts like artistic medium, historical periods, location, and more.
