01 — Overview

What is Midjourney?

Midjourney is a generative image model and service that turns text prompts into strikingly cohesive, art-directed visuals. Where most models chase photorealism, Midjourney built its reputation on taste — a distinctive, editorial default aesthetic that made it the go-to engine for concept art, brand mood boards, book covers and campaign visuals.

Version 7 brought dramatically better prompt adherence, native character consistency via --cref, style replication with --sref, and a full-featured web editor with pan, zoom and inpainting.
