Midjourney User Guide: Creating Tasks and Managing Works on the Web Version

If you want to use Midjourney without only spamming commands in Discord, you can also generate images, make variations, and organize your work more smoothly directly on the web version. Below is a walkthrough in the order of “Login & authorization → Create tasks → Manage & download → FAQ.” Follow it and you’ll basically avoid pitfalls.

1. Enter the Midjourney web version and complete account authorization

After opening the official Midjourney website, the web version will usually ask you to log in and complete account authorization first. If your Midjourney account has been linked to Discord, follow the on-page prompts and use Discord to complete authorization to sync your identity and subscription status.

After authorization succeeds, first check whether the account entry in the top-right corner shows your usual account, to avoid using the wrong Discord account and ending up in a state where you “can browse but can’t create tasks.” Midjourney’s generation permissions are tied to your subscription; without a subscription, you generally can’t create new tasks.

2. Create generation tasks on the web: from prompts to variations

After entering the creation page, type your prompt in the input box to start a task. Try to include the subject, style, lighting, lens/camera, and composition requirements—this makes Midjourney more consistent. To reduce off-target results, put the key requirements up front, for example: “subject + scene + style + detail constraints.”

After generation finishes, you’ll see a four-image grid and common action entries (such as upscale, variations, and reroll). Upscale is suitable for getting a clearer single image; variations are used to fine-tune details while keeping the overall style and composition largely consistent.

3. Work management and downloading: favorites, archiving, and secondary editing

The advantage of the web version is more intuitive management: you can view by work feed, favorite commonly used styles, or archive milestone results for easy reuse of prompts later. For projects that require repeated iteration, it’s recommended to save successful prompts and parameters in a fixed way to reduce repeated trial and error.

When downloading, prioritize downloading the upscaled version, which has more usable detail; if you only download the four-grid preview, the clarity is usually not as good as the upscaled result. The usage scope and copyright ownership of Midjourney-generated content will be affected by your subscription and the platform’s terms. Before commercial use, it’s recommended to double-check the authorization notes associated with your account.

4. FAQ: can’t see works, task failures, and loading issues

If you can’t see new works on the web version, refresh the page first and confirm whether you’re logged into the correct Discord account; if the accounts don’t match, Midjourney may show an “empty library” or only show other people’s public content. Next, check whether network blocking (browser extensions, corporate proxies) is affecting the loading of image resources.

If a task fails or keeps spinning, try shortening the prompt, avoid stuffing in too many conflicting requirements at once, and retry generation. If the same account fails multiple times, you usually need to go back to the account page to confirm subscription status, remaining quota, or any temporary congestion notices on the platform side.

5. Switch accounts safely: avoid authorization mix-ups and information leaks

When you need to switch accounts, don’t just log out of the Midjourney web version; it’s best to also log out on Discord or switch to the target account there and then re-authorize. This reduces the chance of “authorization account mix-ups,” especially when multiple people share a computer or when multiple browser sessions are open.

If you’ve logged into Midjourney on a public device, remember to clear the browser’s login state and cache before leaving, and revoke any unnecessary third-party authorizations. Getting account security right is much easier than trying to recover access afterward.
