Real Midjourney prompts with the parameters that made them work. Covers V7 and V8.
Midjourney is the model people reach for when visual style matters more than literal accuracy. This collection pulls together Midjourney prompts that earned real attention — the kind with specific parameters, clear style direction, and results worth studying. You'll find prompts spanning V7 and V8, covering everything from cinematic portraits to concept art to abstract compositions. Each prompt includes the full parameter string so you can see exactly what --ar, --stylize, --sref, or --cref values produced the result.
Midjourney prompts organized by what makes them useful — not just the subject, but the technique.
Every Midjourney prompt here includes the exact parameters used — --ar, --stylize, --v, and more. You see what settings produced the result, not just the text.
Cinematic lighting, oil painting textures, retro film grain, anime aesthetics. Midjourney prompts selected for strong, distinctive visual direction.
Portraits, fantasy characters, environmental scenes. Midjourney prompts that show how to control composition, mood, and subject detail in a single generation.
Copy any prompt and paste it into Midjourney on Discord (/imagine command) or on midjourney.com. The prompts include full parameter strings, so they work as-is. You can also modify them — swap subjects, adjust --ar or --stylize values, or add your own --sref reference.
Yes. The collection includes prompts from both V7 and V8 (including V8.1). Most Midjourney prompts are forward-compatible — a V7 prompt will still produce good results on V8, often with improved detail and speed. Version-specific parameters are noted where relevant.
--sref (style reference) locks the visual style to a reference image. --cref (character reference) maintains a character's appearance across generations. --oref (V7+) is a universal reference for any subject. --ar sets aspect ratio, --stylize controls how much artistic interpretation the model adds. These are what separate a basic Midjourney prompt from a precise one.
Midjourney uses its own parameter syntax (--ar, --sref, --stylize) that other models don't support. It also responds more strongly to aesthetic and mood language — words like 'cinematic', 'ethereal', or 'brutalist' carry more weight here than in other models. The tradeoff: Midjourney is weaker at text rendering and precise layouts.
Completely free to browse and copy. To generate images with Midjourney itself, you need a Midjourney subscription (Basic, Standard, or Pro plan). You can also use prompts from this library as inspiration for other models available on this site with a free daily generation quota.
