What Is Midjourney

Midjourney is an artificial intelligence image generator that turns text clues into images. To create visually stunning works of art, you don't need professional photography, Photoshop design and drawing skills, the main thing is to have an idea.

Originally launched in 2022, Midjourney has become one of the most powerful AI art generators on the market, used by creators, designers, marketers, and teams worldwide. It runs primarily through Discord, where users can interact with a bot to generate images in real time.

With each new version, Midjourney improves in speed, realism, and prompt understanding — and V7 marks the most advanced update to date.

Sigma AI Browser  helps you explore, research, and collect AI-powered ideas in one place.
Perfect for working with Midjourney or any other image generation tool.

What makes Midjourney different from the competition

• Does not use open source models like OpenAI or Stability AI.
• Does not disclose the architecture of its model (unlike DALL-E or Stable Diffusion).
• Main interface is through Discord (a unique solution that made working with AI social and easy).
• Emphasises visual expressiveness and artistry rather than realism as a focus.

Reve Image 1.0, a new tool in the artificial intelligence-driven image generation market, is ready to overtake Midjourney. Let's learn more about the model on Sigma Blog.

What’s New in Midjourney V7

Midjourney V7, released in April 2025, is the biggest update to the platform in over a year — and it’s packed with features aimed at speed, precision, and creative control. Here is what of the novelties prepared by the developers:

More Accurate Prompts

Midjourney V7 understands your prompts better than any previous version.
It’s more accurate, more consistent — and much closer to what you actually imagine.

What’s improved:

• Better subject recognition — the model clearly understands who or what you’re describing
• More balanced compositions — elements are placed more logically and visually pleasing
• Improved anatomy — fewer distortions in hands, faces, and body proportions‍
• Stronger interpretation of details — especially for complex or abstract ideas

‍

Draft Mode

This mode is designed for speed - without wasting time or credits.

Here's what it offers:

• 10x faster generation - images appear in seconds
• 50% cost reduction - uses half as much time as standard mode
• Ideal for prototyping - great for moodboards, concepts or quick previews 
• Real-time editing of cues - change cues during the generation process without having to start over

‍

Voice Prompts

Midjourney V7 allows you to create images using speech. You don't need to type, you don't need to come up with prompts - just voice your ideas out loud.

• No typing, no prompt crafting — just talk.
• Voice-to-image support is available in Draft Mode
• Great for quick brainstorming and hands-free creativity
• Works in both Discord and the Midjourney web interface

It’s fast, intuitive, and opens up a whole new way to create.

‍

Personalized Results

Midjourney V7 adapts to your taste from the start. On first launch, you’ll be asked to rate ~200 images. This takes just a few minutes — and helps train the model to match your personal style.

From that point on:

• Prompts return more relevant results
• Style, mood, and structure align better with what you like
• Every generation feels more “you”

‍

New Speed Modes: Turbo & Relax

Midjourney V7 gives you full control over how you balance speed, cost, and creative flow — with two generation modes.

‍

Turbo Mode
Get your image in seconds. Ideal when you're testing ideas, on a deadline, or need high-volume output fast. Uses more GPU time, but saves your time.

‍
Relax Mode
Runs in the background at a lower priority. Great for less urgent projects, moodboards, or when working with multiple prompts at once.

‍
These updates are officially confirmed on Midjourney’s website.

How to Use Midjourney V7

You can access Midjourney V7 through two main platforms: Discord (as always) and the new Midjourney web interface.

Here’s how to get started:

1. Midjourney in Discord‍

Midjourney still runs primarily through its official Discord server.
To begin:

• Go to midjourney.com and click “Sign Up/Log In”
• This will take you to the Midjourney Discord
• Once inside, you can use the imagine command to generate images
• You’ll also be able to select V7 from the version settings

Midjourney V7 is currently in alpha, so some features are only available in specific channels.

‍

 2. Use the Web Interface

You can also access V7 at midjourney.com/app 

• Log in with your Discord account
• Use the prompt bar at the top to type (or speak!) your request
• Choose V7 in the model dropdown
• Switch between Draft, Turbo, and Relax modes
• View your entire generation history and upscale images

‍

3. Enable Draft Mode & Voice Input

To try the newest features:

• In Settings, choose V7 Alpha as your model
• Enable Draft Mode for fast results
• Click the  microphone icon to use voice prompts (works in Draft Mode only)
  
  

Pro Tip: Don’t Skip Personalization‍

The first time you use V7, you’ll be asked to rate ~200 images.This step helps Midjourney learn your preferences — and improves results with every prompt.

‍

Pricing Plans & Is Midjourney Free

Basic: $10/month ~200 generations.

Standard: $30/month - more generations + 15 hours of ‘fast time’.

Pro: $60/month - 30 hours of fast time + extra features.

Important: generation in V7 costs 2 times more than in V6 by GPU time.
