Midjourney FAQ: Downloading Original Images, Privacy Settings, and Managing Your Works

After generating images with Midjourney, many people get stuck on details like “Where are my images, how do I download the original file, and can I hide my works?” Below is a consolidated walkthrough of the most common Midjourney work-management questions. Follow the steps to quickly troubleshoot and handle them.

Where can I find images generated by Midjourney?

If you generated them on the Midjourney web app, go to the “Create” page first to see your recent history; after you log in with the same account, your history will sync automatically. Midjourney sometimes loads slowly—refreshing the page or logging in again usually restores the list.

If you generated images using Midjourney commands in Discord, the images will appear in the channel or direct message where you ran the prompt. If you can’t find them, first confirm you didn’t switch to a different Discord account or server/channel—Midjourney won’t merge histories across different accounts.

How do I download the original and high-resolution images from Midjourney?

Open the detail page for a single image in the Midjourney web app; there is usually a download entry. Click to open the large image first and then download it to avoid ending up with a preview thumbnail. If the downloaded file seems small, it’s most often because you haven’t created an upscaled version yet.

For a clearer final output, it’s recommended to run Upscale (enlarge) or related clarity-enhancement actions in Midjourney first, then download the upscaled version. The resulting file retains more detail and is more suitable for later cropping and layout.

Can Midjourney works be set to private or not public?

By default, Midjourney generations may appear in public galleries (depending on how you generate and your account settings). If you simply don’t want them displayed on your profile, the web app usually provides management options like “Hide/Unhide”; check the “more actions” menu in your works list.

If your requirement is to “disappear completely from the public gallery,” you typically need a plan that includes Stealth mode (commonly Pro or above). Without Stealth, Midjourney does not guarantee that your generations won’t be publicly indexed—be sure to confirm this before using them commercially.

If I have too many Midjourney works, how do I organize them—and what if I can’t delete them?

Midjourney leans more toward “archival management” rather than permanent deletion: you can use likes, hiding, filtering, and similar tools to surface frequently used works. When organizing, it’s recommended to save prompts together with the final versions by project—it will save a lot of time when you need to reuse them later.

If you run into “buttons not responding,” first rule out browser extensions blocking scripts and network issues, then try logging into Midjourney in an incognito/private window. If it’s still abnormal, try a different browser engine (e.g., Chromium-based). Many small front-end issues can be identified immediately this way.
