To use Midjourney, subscribe (there’s no free tier), open the web app, and describe your image in detail — then refine with parameters and variations. It produces top-tier artistic images.

Getting started

Midjourney is paid-only, from $10/mo. Use the web app, type ‘/imagine’ followed by your prompt, and it generates options you can upscale or vary. Describe subject, style, mood, lighting and composition for the best results.

Prompting well

Be specific and add style references (‘in the style of a vintage travel poster’), aspect ratios and parameters. Generate variations, upscale favourites, and iterate one element at a time. Midjourney rewards detailed, descriptive prompts.

Commercial use and risks

Commercial use is allowed, but companies over $1M revenue must be on Pro or Mega, and Stealth (private) mode is only on higher tiers. A purely AI-generated image, song or video may not be protected by copyright (US law generally requires human authorship), and many free tiers forbid commercial use, require attribution, or make your outputs public. Always check a tool’s licence and your plan’s terms before using AI work commercially. Midjourney faces active copyright litigation — avoid generating recognisable trademarked or copyrighted characters.

If you find yourself juggling a separate subscription for chat, automation, transcription and image generation, one option worth knowing is a single platform that runs them together — osFoundry is one such agentic AI platform that consolidates chat, agents and internal apps in one workspace, with a bring-your-own-key model so you choose the underlying AI.
