200 Professional Prompts for Midjourney: Get the Best Results for AI Images

Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen an onslaught of artificial intelligence (AI) tools pop up—AI chatbots like ChatGPT, AI content writers, AI art designers like DALL-E, and AI art generators. One of those AI art/image creators is Midjourney—a Discord-based AI bot that generates digital art based on a user’s text prompts.

There are endless prompt possibilities to get high-resolution, eye-catching images created by this AI bot, so we put together this list of 200 professional Midjourney prompts.

Take advantage of this ultimate guide below to help you create your own prompt that will generate professional images you can use for your business—in blog posts, on social media, for traditional marketing purposes, and more. (You can also simply reuse one of the prompts from this list.)

What is Midjourney?

Midjourney AI is a Discord-based AI bot that creates AI-generated art and imagery using Stable Diffusion. Interested users can head to its website, then click the Join the Beta link to grab the invite to the tool’s Discord.

Discord is similar to Slack in nature—an online community perfect for creating different channels and interacting with like-minded users. However, it can also easily integrate with bots, which is exactly what Midjourney has done with its AI tool. 

Many AI prompt writers have cropped up since Midjourney’s launch to help people create better images. These writers come up with concept art prompts themselves, or use ChatGPT prompts to help flesh out their ideas.

There are a number of channels for users to input prompts and get the bot to create a piece of AI art based on it. Here’s an example of what this Discord server looks like:

As we can see, the above prompt is “a futuristic smartphone linking two persons, the smartphone at center, one person on the left, one person on the right.” This is the perfect prompt for a tech company to use within its digital marketing content. You can also use Midjourney to make and sell NFT art.

As of April 2023, the Midjourney version available is Midjourney v5. It’s also included Niji 5 to help the bot create emotional, artistic imagery.

How to write a good prompt for Midjourney

It can take a few tries to get the bot to put out the exact type of image you’re looking for, so it’s important to understand what is required in your Midjourney prompt. There’s even a #prompt-chat channel in the Discord so more well-versed users can help you improve your prompt to get the best possible output.

But here are a few basic tips for writing a good Midjourney prompt.

First, every prompt needs to start with “/imagine” to get the engine started. Type this into the Discord text box. You’ll then start typing your prompt. For example, “/imagine a brown, leather reading chair.” The bot will then put out four image options for you to choose from.

There will be a few buttons you can press as well:

• U = Upscale: Enlarges/improves the resolution of your selected image so you can use it.

• V = Variate: Creates variations of your selected image if you’re not sold on the first rendition.

• 🔄 = Rerun: Rerun the same prompt again to get more results if you don’t like the first four.

You can include additional information in your prompt to get specific outputs as well. Here are a few to keep in mind:

• Style: Put an artist, genre, or era that you want your art to be in the style of, i.e., “in the style of Henri Matisse” or “using volumetric lighting.”

• Stylize: This refers to how artistic the bot is allowed to be with the prompt. Low stylized renderings stick closely to the prompt, while high stylized renderings can be more loose with the prompt. Add this to your prompt by using “– -s 0” (low stylize) to “– -s 1000” (high stylize).

• Chaos: Chaos refers to how abstract you want your art to be. If you want to specify the abstraction, add “– -chaos 0” to “– -chaos 100.”

• Resolution: Improve the resolution of your images by using commands like “– -hd” or – -8k.”

• Aspect ratio: Specify the ratio (i.e., the shape) you want your image to be. Use commands like “– -ar 4:3” or “– -ar 16:9.”

• Filter: Filter out items you don’t want included within your image. For example, if you’re creating a photo of a restaurant but you don’t want any booths in the image, you can use the command “– -no booths.”

• Start with an image: Include the URL of an existing image in your prompt to get the bot to include that image in its rendering.

Or, just write out a detailed text prompt that explains exactly what you’re looking for.
