How to Use Midjourney on Midjourney’s Discord Server

You can add the MidJourney bot to your own Discord server to use it privately. But in case you do not have your own server or just want to try Midjourney once, there is a quick and easy way to use it directly inside Midjouney’s Discord server.

  1. Open the Midjourney Discord server link and click on the Join Midjourney or Accept Invite button to join the server.
  2. Now click on the Start Onboarding button and personalize the server to your need if needed.
  3. Once done, open any of the newbies channels from the left sidebar in the server.
  4. In these channels, you should be able to view prompts from other users and subsequent MidJourney results. They will help you understand the type of prompts that you can ask Midjourney.
  5. Finally, in the same channel, type /imagine and then enter the description of the image you want to generate.
  6. Then press Enter to get 4 AI-generated images based on your description. You need to subscribe to Midjourney to generate images which we will cover later below.

How to Add Midjourney Bot to Your Discord Server

While you can use the Midjourney bot directly on the Midjourney server, it’s not private. If you are planning to use Midjourney more often, then it’s better to add it to your own server. In case you don’t have your own server already, you can create your own Discord server easily on both desktop and phone.

  1. Open the Discord Server where you want to add the Midjourney bot. Now click on the server name at the top left corner and then select the App Directory option.
  2. Here search for the Midjourney in the Search bar on this page.
  3. In the results, open the Midjourney Bot option and click on Add to Server button to add Midjourney to your server.
  4. In the pop-up, make sure that the correct server is selected, and then click on the Continue option.
  5. Then click on Authorize button to add the Moidjourney bot to the selected Discord server.
  6. Now open the server, then open the channel Midjourney can access the message. Here type /imagine, select the Midjourney option, and then enter the description of the image you want to generate as a prompt.
  7. Then press Enter to get AI-generated images from Midjourney. Again, you need to subscribe to Midjourney to generate images which we cover in the next section.

How to Subscribe to MidJourney

You have added the Midjourney bot but before you can generate images through Midjourney, you need to subscribe to the service. While there is a free trial, it is not available for the latest version of the Midjourney.

  2. Now click on the Open subscription page option. Then click on Yep! button in the pop-up to open the subscription page.
  3. On the subscription page, you can choose between the Basic, Standard, and Pro plans.
  4. The main aspect to look for in each plan is the GPU time. The more GPU time you have, the more images you can generate. Once selected, click on the Subscribe button below it.
  5. You can complete the payment with either Card or Cash app. Once the payment is done, you can start using the Midjourney Bot to generate images.

  2. After the description, use a comma and provide the art style you want Midjourney to generate the image in such as cartoon, vector art, realistic image, pixel art, anime, etc. You can even try using an artist’s name to pick their preferred style such as Davinci style, Van Gogh style, Picasso style, etc. You can also include photography terms such as f/2.8 aperture, ISO 400, 4K, HD, etc.
  3. By default, all images generated from Midjourney will be in a 1:1 aspect ratio. But if you prefer to change the aspect ratio of generated images, you can include the aspect ratio using the “–ar ” parameter at the end of the prompt like in the example below.
