Midjourney User Guide: Web Registration & Login, Discord Linking, and Download Management

This Midjourney user guide covers only the three most common essentials: how to register and log in on the web, how to link (authorize) your Discord account, and how to download and organize images after generation. Many people get stuck not because they can’t write prompts, but because they authorized the wrong account, can’t find their works, or end up downloading preview images. Follow the steps below and you’ll usually get everything working in one go.

Web Registration and Login: Start with Authorization

After opening the Midjourney official website, web login is usually completed through Discord authorization: click “Sign in” and you’ll be redirected to Discord to confirm authorization. After authorization succeeds, you’ll be taken back to the Midjourney page—at that point, your account is considered “registered.” If the page keeps loading or won’t return, try switching browsers first, or disable/clear third-party blocking extensions and try again.

Linking (Authorizing) Discord: The Place People Most Often Link the Wrong Account

“Linking Discord” in Midjourney is essentially authorizing the Discord account currently logged into your browser for Midjourney to use. So the most common problem is that you’re actually logged into a different Discord account in the browser. The fix is straightforward: log out of the current account in Discord web, log back in with the target Discord account, then return to Midjourney and run the authorization again.

If you have multiple Discord accounts, it’s recommended to create a separate browser profile for your primary account—this greatly reduces the “linked the wrong account / messy switching” issues mentioned in this Midjourney user guide.

Generating Images on the Web: Creating Tasks and Viewing History

After logging in, go to the creation page on Midjourney web, enter your prompt, and submit to generate a task; the generation process will appear in your history/gallery. If you want to reuse the same style, you can open a past work’s detail page from your history and reuse the original prompt with only small keyword tweaks—this is more efficient than writing from scratch.

If you can’t find the image you just generated, first check whether it’s under “Archive/History” or within your personal gallery filters; also confirm you haven’t switched to a Midjourney identity authorized by a different Discord account, which can make your works seem to “disappear out of nowhere.”

Downloading and Organizing: Get the High-Resolution Image and Avoid Saving Only Thumbnails

On Midjourney web, open a single work’s detail page and use the download button to get the original/large image. Try not to right-click and save thumbnails from the list view, otherwise the resolution will be lower. After downloading, it’s recommended to name files using “Project Name - Prompt Keywords - Version,” which saves a lot of time for later revisions and reuse.

When you need to switch accounts, first log out of Midjourney, then confirm Discord is currently logged into the target account, and finally re-authorize and log in. Following this order is more stable than switching back and forth across multiple tabs, and it’s the most recommended switching method in this Midjourney user guide.
