Midjourney has recently made “editing images after generation” much smoother: the web version now includes an image editor that supports uploading your own pictures and editing them directly. In the same workflow, you can erase and re-render, undo accidental erasing, extend the canvas, and regenerate—turning Midjourney from an image generator into a more controllable retouching station.
What exactly has been updated in the Midjourney image editor?
This time, Midjourney’s focus is “hands-on controllability”: enter the new interface through the “Edit” entry on the web, and work directly on the image. Common tools include Erase and Restore, which are suitable for local touch-ups and detail replacement.
At the same time, Midjourney allows you to adjust size and aspect ratio to extend the canvas, filling in edges where the original framing wasn’t enough. With buttons like “Transform,” “Enhance,” and “Regenerate,” Midjourney’s revision path feels more like “edit while generating,” without repeatedly starting over and rolling the dice from scratch.
Where to access it: the correct way on the web
If you mainly use the web version, first select an image on Midjourney’s gallery or in your history, then click “Edit” to enter the editor. You can edit images generated by Midjourney here, and you can also upload your own images and bring them into Midjourney’s editing workflow.
Three best-value ways to use it: Erase, Restore, and Extend Canvas
The first is local inpainting: use Erase to remove areas you’re not satisfied with (such as extra objects or continuity-breaking edges), then use prompts to describe “what to put back.” Midjourney will regenerate content in the blank area—great for small-scale outfit swaps, prop changes, or background fixes.
