Midjourney 2026 Beginner Tutorial: From Sign-Up to First Image

Midjourney is one of the strongest AI image tools in 2026. V7 no longer requires Discord: you can create images directly on the official website, with features like consistent characters, inpainting, and AI editing.

1. Sign Up

1. Go to midjourney.com and register with email or Google.
2. New users get a free monthly allowance (check the official site).
3. Click Create to open the web workspace — the main entry in the V7 era.

2. First Generation in 5 Steps

1. Type a prompt (English works best), e.g. a cute orange cat astronaut on mars, cinematic lighting, 8k
2. Pick an aspect ratio or use --ar 16:9
3. Click Generate and wait 10-30s
4. Review the 4 candidates
5. Upscale the best one, or Vary for variants

3. Key Parameters

4. Four Useful V7 Features

• Consistent Character: upload 2-4 reference images to keep the same face across generations.
• Vary Region (Inpaint): redraw only a selected area to fix flaws.
• AI Edit: modify an existing image with text instructions.
• Describe: upload an image to get 4 suggested prompts.

5. Common Beginner Mistakes

• Longer prompts are not better — keep subject, style, lighting and composition clear.
• Chinese prompts work but English gives better results.
• Commercial use: paid users generally can use images commercially; check the official terms.

6. FAQ

Q: Free allowance used up? A: Wait for reset or upgrade; see the official pricing page.

Q: Deformed faces/hands? A: Generate more candidates, use inpainting, or add negative terms like --no deformed hands.

Q: How to keep a consistent style? A: Use Consistent Character or reuse the same prompt with a fixed seed.

Q: Vs Stable Diffusion / DALL·E? A: Midjourney is best for artistry and stability; DALL·E is stronger at text rendering; SD is open-source and local. For everyday use Midjourney is the most hassle-free.

Q: Web vs Discord? A: The web workspace is the official V7 entry; Discord still works but new features land on the web first.
