Midjourney FAQ: Account Linking, Gallery Sync, and Commercial Licensing

This is a compiled Midjourney FAQ, focusing on the most frequently asked topics: account linking, the gallery not showing, privacy, and commercial licensing. If you run into issues, don’t rush to reinstall or switch networks—many cases are simply caused by inconsistent login accounts or gallery filters.

Account & Login: Why you can’t get in or it feels like you switched accounts

Midjourney usually logs in via Discord authorization on the official website. The most common reason it “feels like you switched accounts” is that you changed the Discord account you’re logged into in your browser. First, confirm which user is currently logged in on Discord, then go back to the Midjourney website, log out, and re-authorize, keeping both sides consistent.

If you use both a phone and a computer, it’s recommended to stick to one primary browser and avoid frequently switching back and forth among multiple Discord accounts. Your Midjourney generation history and subscription are tied to the logged-in account—if you log into the wrong one, it will feel like your past works have “disappeared.”

Gallery & History: Why images are missing or not syncing

When you “can’t find images” in Midjourney, they’re usually not lost—they’re just not being displayed. First check whether you’re logged into the same account; next, see whether the gallery has any filters enabled (for example, showing only a certain model, a certain time range, or a certain task type).

If the works were generated in a Discord channel, make sure you were indeed operating with the same Midjourney account at the time. If necessary, trace back using the generation record of that message in Discord, then refresh the website gallery or clear the filter conditions.

Privacy & Visibility: Can others see my prompts and images?

If you generate in a public channel, your prompts and results are visible to other users in the same channel—this is Midjourney’s normal mode of use. Switching to generating via direct messages with the bot or in a private server can reduce the chance of being seen by passersby, but your work will still go into your personal gallery.

If you have stronger confidentiality needs, pay attention to whether your Midjourney plan includes privacy generation features like Stealth; if you don’t have privacy capabilities, try to avoid putting sensitive information into prompts.

Commercial Use & Licensing: Can you use it for posters or list products for sale?

Whether Midjourney can be used commercially depends mainly on whether you have an active paid subscription and whether you comply with its terms of use. Generally speaking, paid users typically have commercial rights; at the same time, rules for community display and attribution also need to be followed per the terms.

Another often-overlooked point: if your company’s size or revenue reaches the threshold specified in the terms, you may need a higher-tier enterprise-appropriate plan. Before formal commercial use, it’s recommended to double-check the Midjourney account and terms pages to avoid licensing risks.
