Midjourney Parameter List Cheatsheet
Basic Parameters
- –aspect or –ar: Change the aspect ratio of a generation. Eg: –ar 2:3
- –ar 1:1 Default aspect ratio.
- –ar 5:4 Common frame and print ratio.
- –ar 3:2 Common in print photography.
- –ar 7:4 Close to HD TV screens and smartphone screens.
- –chaos <number 0–100>: Change how varied the results will be. Higher values produce more unusual and unexpected generations.
- –no: Negative prompting, remove plants from the image.
- –quality <.25, .5, 1, or 2> or –q <.25, .5, 1, or 2>: How much rendering quality time you want to spend. The default value is 1. Higher values cost more and lower values cost less.
- –seed <integer between 0–4294967295>: 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.
- –stop <integer between 10–100>: Use the –stop parameter to finish a Job partway through the process. Stopping a Job at an earlier percentage can create blurrier, less detailed results.
- –style <4a, 4b or 4c>: Switch between versions of the Midjourney Model Version 4
- –stylize <number> or –s <number>: Parameter influences how strongly Midjourney’s default aesthetic style is applied to Jobs.
- –uplight: Use an alternative “light” upscaler when selecting the U buttons. The results are closer to the original grid image. The upscaled image is less detailed and smoother.
- –upbeta: Use an alternative beta upscaler when selecting the U buttons. The results are closer to the original grid image. The upscaled image has significantly fewer added details.
Model Version Parameters
- –niji: An alternative model focused on anime style images.
- –hd: Use an early alternative Model that produces larger, less consistent images. This algorithm may be suitable for abstract and landscape images.
- –test: Use the Midjourney special test model.
- –testp: Use the Midjourney special photography-focused test model.
- –version <1, 2, 3, 4 or 5> or –v <1 2, 3, 4 or 5>: Use an earlier version of the Midjourney algorithm. The current algorithm (V5) is the default setting.
Upscaler Parameters
- –uplight: Use an alternative “light” upscaler when selecting the U buttons. The results are closer to the original grid image. The upscaled image is less detailed and smoother.
- –upbeta: Use an alternative beta upscaler when selecting the U buttons. The results are closer to the original grid image. The upscaled image has significantly fewer added details.
- –upanime: Use an alternative upscaler trained to work with the –niji Midjourney Model.
Other Parameters
- –creative: Modify the test and testp models to be more varied and creative.
- –iw: Sets image prompt weight relative to text weight. The default value is –iw 0.25.
- –sameseed: Seed values create a single large random noise field applied across all images in the initial grid. When –sameseed is specified, all images
Image Generation Cheatsheet
Here are some common styles of image generation and their characteristics:
| Style | Description |
| 8k | Lighting tends to be more extreme; colors even more saturated and computer-generated looking than “high definition” |
| cinematic | Shadows tend to be more extreme (though not darker); objects a bit thicker; more poster-like |
| high definition | Shadows are lightened; more fanciful and saturated colors |
| ultra photorealistic | Similar to “fine ultra-detailed realistic” |
| Hasselblad H6D | Sharper focus on subject; shadows are deepened |
| fine ultra-detailed realistic | Can be a bit grainy and “ropey” but increases detail generation |
| color grading | Extreme variations in hue; vibrant but not over-saturated colors |
| depth of field | Sharp focus on subject, background and foreground blurred |
| film lighting | Limited lighting sources; backlighting common; deep shadows cast by light sources |
| rim lighting | Slightly stronger lighting effect than “film lighting,” but very similar results |
| intricate | Tends toward non-realistic “crafts” and “pattern” type designs. |
| realism | Artistic realism. Backgrounds tend to be more uniform; subject looks more like a painting; more objects with subject |
| photography | Subject tends to have a little area of objects around it with little else in the background |
| rendered for IMAX | More complex subject with very directional lighting and subdued saturation |
| tilt-shift | Like “depth of field,” but from above or with high angle |
| motion-blur | Speed lines. May render as if wind is blowing |
| 35mm film | More vibrant colors, but muted saturation, detailed with additional foreground and/or background elements |
