Midjourney parameter cheat sheet

Omni Reference (V7): put a specific person or object from a reference image into the scene. A text prompt is still required, and it costs about 2x the usual GPU time.

Example: a knight in a throne room --oref https://example.com/face.png

Omni weight, 1 to 1000 (default 100). Higher forces a closer match. Keep it under about 400 unless you also raise --stylize.

Example: the same man, now smiling --oref URL --ow 200

Aspect ratio as width:height. Common values are 1:1, 3:2, 16:9, and 9:16.

Example: a city skyline at dusk --ar 16:9

Tall/portrait framing, good for phone wallpapers and vertical video.

Example: a waterfall in a forest --ar 9:16

How strongly the default aesthetic is applied. Range 0 to 1000; higher is more stylized, lower is more literal.

Example: product photo of a watch --stylize 50

How varied the four results are. Range 0 to 100; higher gives more different, surprising options.

Example: abstract poster --chaos 40

Pushes toward unusual, offbeat aesthetics. Range 0 to 3000; use in small amounts.

Example: a teapot creature --weird 250

Reduces the default beautification for more literal, photographic results.

Example: street photo, overcast --style raw

Style reference: match the look of the image at that URL without copying its content.

Example: a fox --sref https://example.com/style.png

Style weight for --sref. Higher follows the reference style more closely.

Example: a fox --sref URL --sw 300

Character reference: keep the same character across images.

Example: the same girl reading --cref https://example.com/char.png

Character weight for --cref. Lower keeps the face but changes clothing/hair more freely.

Example: the same girl --cref URL --cw 30

Negative prompt: exclude something. The reliable way to remove an element.

Example: a busy market --no people

Sets the starting noise so a result is reproducible. Reuse a seed for consistent variations.

Example: a red car --seed 12345

Makes a seamless, repeating pattern (good for textures and backgrounds).

Example: floral pattern --tile

Quality / render time. Lower (0.25, 0.5) is faster and cheaper; 1 is the default.

Example: quick concept sketch --q 0.5

Stop the job early at a percent (10 to 100) for a softer, less finished look.

Example: watercolor bird --stop 85

Run the same prompt several times at once to get more options.

Example: logo ideas --repeat 4

Multi-prompt weighting. The number after :: sets how much a part matters.

Example: space::2 station::1

Put an image URL at the START of the prompt to use it as an image prompt.

Example: https://example.com/ref.png a knight

Upload an image and Midjourney suggests prompts that would produce something similar.

Example: /describe (then upload an image)

Blend two to five uploaded images into one, no text prompt needed.

Example: /blend (then upload images)
