What it does

Midjourney is an AI tool for generating images from text and generating videos from text. Paid plans start at $10 per month.

Midjourney generates images from text prompts and is accessible through a Discord bot and a dedicated web interface at midjourney.com. It produces four image variations per prompt and allows iterative refinement with upscale and variation commands. The model has a distinct painterly, cinematic aesthetic that suits concept art, character design, fantasy environments, and editorial illustration. It does not offer inpainting, object removal, or background replacement the way dedicated photo editors do.
