The era of AI-generated artwork is upon us, and the internet is full of users trying to create the perfect instructions to get the AI to create the right images – or sometimes just the wrong ones. Sound like fun? One common AI tool is Midjourney, which people use to create dreamscapes and subjects with just a few words.
If you want to experiment with Midjourney, we have good news: it’s free to register and you can start trying out the AI generator in just a few minutes. Here’s everything you need to know about using it for the first time.
How to start using Midjourney
Step 1: Make sure you’re signed in to Discord. Midjourney runs entirely on Discord, so you’ll need an account there to use it. Signing up for Discord is also free if you haven’t already done so.
Step 2: Visit the Midjourney website. Here, choose Join the beta. This will automatically take you to a Discord invite.

Step 4: Your Discord app will not open automatically. When it appears, select the ship-like one The middle of the trip icon on the left menu.
Step 5: In the Midjourney channels find Newcomer rooms. Usually there will be a series of rooms open for newcomers, with names like “newcomer-108.” You can choose any of these to start with.

Step 6: Now you are ready to start creating AI art. Before you get started, please note that you only have a limited number of express options available as part of your free trial. You can create about 25 free images. After that, you will need to purchase a full membership to continue. If you’d rather not spend money, it would be a good idea to take some time to think about what you want to create on Midjourney. If you want, you can type “/help” to get a list of hints that you can study.
Step 7: When you’re ready, type “/imagine” into the Discord chat for your rookie room. This will create a query field where you can enter a description of the image. The more specific you can be with your description, the better the AI will be able to produce. Be descriptive and if there’s a particular style you’re looking for, include it in your description. There are rules of conduct here that you have to follow, but if you keep things clean, you shouldn’t worry.
When done, select input to send your inquiry.

Step 8: Give Midjourney a minute to generate your images. Typically, the AI will create several different versions based on your description. You now have several options to proceed.
Look below the images and you will see a section of U and V buttons numbered 1 to 4. The numbers correspond to the four images produced by Midjourney. Dialing IN it will enlarge that image to a larger, more defined version. Dialing V will create a brand new image based on the existing image you select. You’ll also see a refresh button on the side to request a new set of images. Note that each of these choices will use up some of your available free queries, so only do so if you’re sure you want to proceed.
Step 9: If you find an image you like and select it IN to increase it, you will get a new set of options. You can choose Make variations in that picture, Upscale to max before download or select a Light superior rework if it’s not quite what you wanted, among other options.
When you’re done, you can DM the image directly to yourself by selecting Envelope emoji and add it to your chat. This allows you to save and download the image whenever you want.

Step 10: If you plan to use Midjourney a lot, you can use any bot channel in Midjourney’s Discord and type “/subscribe.” This will create a link that you can follow to pay for your subscription. Those who are really serious about using Midjourney long term will also want to check out the manual, which will provide you with a more extensive list of commands and some tips on how to create images.
