Midjourney
Overview
Midjourney is a generative image and video platform operated by Midjourney, Inc. Its current workflow spans midjourney.com and the Midjourney Bot on Discord, with Midjourney V8.2 as the default image model. Users can create images from text, guide generations with uploaded images and style references, build personalized styles with profiles and Moodboards, create reusable Style Reference codes, edit Midjourney or external images in the web Editor, and turn still images into short videos. The web experience also adds Draft and Conversational modes, organization tools, Stealth controls on eligible plans, and a free authenticity checker for original downloaded Midjourney images.
