Midjourney User Guide: Web Login, Image Generation, and Workflow for Organizing Your Work

This Midjourney user guide focuses specifically on the web version: how to log in, how to start generating images, and how to quickly find and download them in “My Images” after they’re generated. Many people get stuck on authorization, can’t see their history, or need to switch accounts—practical, actionable fixes for those issues are also included here.

1. Logging into Midjourney on the Web and Linking Your Account

After opening the official Midjourney website, click “Sign in.” The web version typically requires you to authorize login with a Discord account. When authorizing, make sure it’s the Discord account you normally use, because Midjourney’s creation history is linked to that account.

If you’re logged into different Discord accounts on your phone and on your computer, the Midjourney web version can give you the impression that you “can’t see your past work.” The fix is straightforward: confirm your current account in Discord first, then go back to the Midjourney web version, log in again, and re-authorize.

2. How to Generate Your First Images on the Midjourney Web Version

After logging in successfully, go to the “Create/Imagine” entry point on the Midjourney web version (the name may vary slightly depending on the page layout). Enter your prompt and generate directly. Try to clearly describe the subject, style, lighting, camera, and aspect ratio—Midjourney responds more reliably to “complete descriptions.”

After generation, you’ll see multiple candidate images. As needed, continue with Upscale or create Variations. Using these buttons on the Midjourney web version is less hassle than scrolling through messages in a channel, making it ideal for frequent everyday image generation.

3. Common Web Settings and Prompting Habits in Midjourney

In the settings area of the Midjourney web version, common adjustable items include model version, aspect ratio (e.g., 1:1, 16:9), and style strength. You don’t need to max out parameters all at once—start by locking in a “go-to aspect ratio + go-to style,” which makes it easier to produce consistent results.

For prompt structure, it’s recommended to put the “subject” first, then follow with “style, materials, mood, details,” separated by commas. Negative descriptions (what you don’t want) can also help to some extent, but don’t make them too long to avoid conflicting information.

4. Viewing, Downloading, and Quickly Revisiting Midjourney Works

In “My Images/Archive” on the Midjourney web version, you can view your generation history in one place and revisit it by prompt or timeline. When searching, prioritize keywords (subject names, style terms, scene terms)—it’s much faster than endlessly scrolling page by page.

When downloading, it’s recommended to download the upscaled version first for clearer results in subsequent edits. If you want to recreate the same look, you can copy the original prompt and settings directly on the Midjourney web version, then iterate by making small keyword changes.

5. Switching Accounts and Fixing Common Sticking Points

Switching a Midjourney account is essentially switching your Discord account: log out on the Midjourney web version, then authorize again with another Discord account. Many “missing work” issues are actually because Midjourney is connected to a different Discord identity.

If web buttons don’t respond, try two steps first: refresh the page and log back into Midjourney; then try an incognito window to rule out extension interference. If it’s still abnormal, check whether you revoked Discord authorization—re-authorizing usually restores normal operation.
