Things to know about Parameters in Midjourney
Parameters or Parameters in Midjourney are like special instructions that users can use to adjust image results. Here it is Things you need to know about Parameters in Midjourney.
Before explaining the difference, let’s analyze two images created with the Midjourney artificial intelligence tool:
You can clearly see that the first image is better than the second image. So what is the difference between these two images?
The Midjourney prompt to create the first image is:
An image of an elephant surrounded by other colors, in the style of translucent resin waves, retro filters, realistic lighting, Lovecraftian, paper sculptures, symmetrical, fluorescent colors – – c 55 – – s 333 – – ar 2:3 – – no Depth Of Field The Midjourney prompt used to create the second image is:
An image of an elephant surrounded by other colors, in the style of translucent resin waves, retro filters, realistic lighting, Lovecraftian, paper sculptures, symmetrical, fluorescent colors – – ar 2:3 – – s 250You can clearly see the difference is in some letters and numbers at the end of the hint. They are called Parameter – Parameter.
Simply put, changing the parameters at the end of the suggestion in Midjourney is enough to make the difference between an ordinary image and an extraordinary image.
That’s why you are required to use parameters at the end of the command in Midjourney.
But just using these parameters is not enough, you must know how to use them properly.
To do that, feel free to experiment with the numbers and come up with them yourself. But this will take a lot of time. That’s why you need to know the list of parameters and their usage in Midjourney to know the appropriate application for each situation.
Common parameter table in Midjourney
Basic Midjourney parameters
| Parameters | Describe | Default value | Note |
| –aspect / –ar | Change the photo’s aspect ratio. |
1:1
| Use format like
--ar 16:9
for large images |
| –stylize / –s | Affects MidJourney’s default aesthetic. |
100
| Range: 0–1000. Higher value = more stylized elements |
| –chaos | Adjust for variability in results. |
0
| Range: 0–100. Higher value = unexpected result |
| –quality / –q | Determine quality and display time. |
1
| Options: 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2. V6.1 added
--q 2
to get detailed textures at low contrast. |
| –weird / –w | Explore unique aesthetic styles. |
0
| Range: 0–3000. Perfect for experimental design |
| –iw | Balance between visual and text reminders. |
1
| Range: 0–2. The higher the value, the more emphasis is placed on the image. |
Advanced Midjourney parameters
| Parameters | Describe | Default value | Note |
| –sw | Style Weight: Adjusts stylization strength based on style references. |
100
| Range: 0–1000. Higher value = stronger stylistic influence. |
| –cw | Character Weight: Affects compliance with character references |
100
| Range: 0–100. |
| –repeat / –r | Create multiple tasks from a single command. |
1
| Range: 1–40. |
| –version / –v | Specifies the MidJourney algorithm version. | Latest version | Options: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, or 6. |
| –niji | Focus on anime-style photos. |
-
| Suitable for creating anime photos |
| –no | Eliminate specific factors (eg,
--no plants
). |
-
| Useful for fine-tuning results. |
| –sref | Apply style elements from the image URL |
-
| Multiple URLs and weights can be used |
| –sref random | Apply random style refinement from basic style 1B+. |
-
| Increase diversity of output results |
Performance and control parameters
| Parameter | Describe | Default value | Note |
| –fast | Run a task in express mode. |
-
| Increases display speed but reduces quality. |
| –relax | Run a task in relaxation mode. |
-
| Display speed is slower but image quality is sharper. |
| –seed | Set the seed number to get repeatable results. |
-
| Range: 0–4294967295. |
| –stop | Stop displaying when a certain percentage is reached. |
-
| Range: 10–100. |
| –tile | Create seamless composite images. |
-
| Perfect for patterns and wallpaper. |
| –turbo | Run the task in turbo mode. |
-
| Prioritize speed over accuracy. |
