What it is
Midjourney generates images from text prompts and is known for a polished, artistic look. It now has a full web app, so Discord is no longer required.
Image quality
Composition, colour and lighting are the best we tested. Version 6.1 improved hands and text rendering, though long phrases still fail from time to time.
Control and workflow
Style and character references make series work practical. Inpainting and the editor cover most touch-ups without leaving the app.
Pricing
There is no free plan. The basic subscription covers casual use, while heavy users will want a higher tier with fast hours.
Pros
- Best-in-class artistic quality
- Style and character references
- Active community
- Fast iteration
Cons
- No free plan
- Syntax takes practice
- Limited fine control
Verdict
Still the benchmark for artistic image generation. If you want beautiful results quickly and can pay for a subscription, it remains our first recommendation.
