Image Prompts
Want to influence the content, composition, and colors of your Midjourney creations? Include an image as part of your prompt!
There are several ways you can use your own pictures when creating prompts with Midjourney. In this article, we'll focus on Image Prompts, but there are also Style References, Omni Reference, and moodboards using Personalization. You can even mix and match to get exactly what you want in your images!
What are Image Prompts?
Image Prompts let you guide Midjourney by including an image along with your text prompt. Midjourney looks at your image's core elements, and uses it as a source of inspiration for your new and unique image.
Three Ways to Use Image Prompts
- Single Image Prompt + Text PromptChoose an image similar to your vision, then add descriptive text. Your text prompt should include everything you want in the final image, rather than instructions for changing the reference image.
- Multiple Image Prompts Without Text PromptUpload two or more images without text to blend them together—similar to using the Blend command in Discord. This is perfect if you want Midjourney to focus on visual elements.
- Multiple Image Prompts + Text PromptCombine several images with descriptive text for more detailed guidance. Use your text prompt to specify important details not visible in your reference images.
- Using Image Prompts
To add an image to your prompt, start by clicking on the image icon in the Imagine bar. This opens the images panel, allowing you to upload new images or pick from those you've already uploaded. You can even select multiple images to use in your prompt!
Click your image in the uploads library to automatically add it as an Image Prompt. You can also drag and drop your image into any of the image sections to use it in different ways. To remove your image from the Imagine bar, hover your mouse over it and click the X icon.
If you want to use your images with multiple prompts, click the lock icon to keep your images pinned to the Imagine bar.
