Midjourney Web Version User Guide: Logging In to Generate Images, Parameter Settings, and Artwork Management

If you want to generate images with Midjourney, you don’t necessarily have to stay in Discord channels all the time. The Midjourney web version brings login, generation, upscaling, and organizing your work into a single interface, making it better suited for high-frequency daily use. Below, following the actual operation flow, we’ll clearly explain the key steps of Midjourney—from logging in to managing your work.

1. Login and Account Linking: Authorizing via Discord Is the Easiest

After opening the Midjourney official website and clicking Log In, you’ll typically be taken to the Discord authorization page. Once you confirm authorization, your Midjourney account will be linked to that Discord account, which is used to identify your subscription and historical works. If you find you can’t enter the generation page, first check whether you’re logged into the Discord account that actually has the subscription.

When you need to switch accounts, log out in the Midjourney web version, then also log out or switch accounts in Discord on the web and re-authorize. This helps avoid Midjourney reading your old Discord identity and ending up in the awkward situation of “you can view images but can’t generate.”

2. Start Generating on the Web: From Prompts to Reference Images

After entering Midjourney’s Create/Generation area, you can submit a task by entering a prompt. It’s recommended to write the subject first, then the style and lighting, and finally add camera language and material details. Midjourney is more stable with clearly structured descriptions. If you have reference images, upload them directly and pair them with a text description to steer the composition toward your target faster.

After submission, you’ll see a generation queue and a preview of results. Click a single image to enter its detail page. The advantage of Midjourney’s web version is that viewing is more intuitive, making it suitable for quickly filtering “which one is worth upscaling further.”

3. How to Set Common Parameters: Aspect Ratio, Style Strength, and Version Selection

In the Midjourney web version, aspect ratio is usually set via ratio settings—for example, common landscape, portrait, and square formats. If you want results to adhere more closely to your text, lower the stylization strength; if you want more of the “Midjourney look,” increase stylization appropriately. You don’t need to stack all parameters at once—use a small set of key parameters to validate the direction first, then fine-tune gradually to save time.

If the page offers model version selection, it’s recommended to stick to one version for a batch of images. This avoids the same prompt behaving too differently across versions, making it hard to tell whether the issue is with the prompt or with version differences. Keeping fewer variables makes Midjourney iteration more controllable.

4. Upscaling and Variations: Turning Good Images into “Deliverables”

After generation, there are usually two types of actions: Upscale and Variations. Upscaling is suitable for clarifying your chosen composition and adding detail; variations are suitable for trying different expressions, poses, or materials under the same style and compositional logic. For e-commerce images, posters, or avatars, a common Midjourney workflow is: use variations to choose a direction first, then upscale to finalize.

For upscaled images, it’s recommended to quickly add notes or use the favorite feature to tag their purpose, such as “cover candidate,” “key visual,” or “Client A,” so you won’t have to scroll endlessly when searching later in the Midjourney library.

5. Artwork Management and Privacy: Favorites, Downloads, and Visibility Checks

On Midjourney’s works page, you can browse chronologically, or use search/filtering to quickly locate results from a specific prompt. Before downloading, confirm the resolution and whether it’s the upscaled version to avoid accidentally delivering a preview image. If you care about privacy, remember to check whether your works appear in the public showcase area, and prioritize verifying visibility settings in your personal works view.

When you find that “your works are gone,” in most cases they aren’t lost—it’s usually because you logged into the wrong account, turned on a filter, or are viewing a different works view. Check these three items one by one—the Midjourney login identity, filter conditions, and the works page entry point—and you can usually find them again.
