Midjourney User Guide: Logging In on the Web, Generating Images, and Organizing/Downloading Your Gallery

This Midjourney user guide covers only the core web-side operations: how to log in, how to generate images, and how to organize your work and download it. Once you’ve mastered these workflows, you won’t have to keep scrolling through messages in Discord, and you’ll be able to manage your Midjourney creations more smoothly.

1. Logging in on the web and account authorization

Open midjourney.com and click “Sign In.” Midjourney currently mainly uses Discord accounts for authorization-based login. After authorization is complete, you’ll see your own gallery and historical jobs on your profile page. If you don’t have a subscription, you can usually only browse, and image-generation features will be restricted.

If you need to switch accounts, first log out on the Midjourney website, then use your browser’s incognito mode or a separate browser profile to log into another Discord account to avoid accounts getting linked. If you use Midjourney on both Discord and the web at the same time, it’s recommended to stick to the same Discord account to reduce repeated authorizations.

2. Starting image generation on the web and common parameters

In the web input box, you can start generating directly by typing your prompt. The generation history will automatically be saved to the Midjourney gallery. The most commonly used parameters for beginners are aspect ratio and style: for example, “--ar 1:1” controls the canvas ratio, and “--stylize” affects the degree of stylization.

If you want to reproduce results more consistently, you can add “--seed” in the prompt to fix the random seed. If you want faster generation and to save resources, write your description more specifically to reduce repeated rerolls. This Midjourney user guide suggests iterating in small steps around the same theme first—don’t cram in too many elements at once.

3. Gallery organization: filtering, favoriting, and grouping ideas

Midjourney’s gallery page supports viewing by time and by job. First, use filters to pull together images from the same project, then decide which ones to keep. When you see an image you like, favorite it (or mark it as liked) first, so it’s less likely to get lost later when you upscale or create variations.

When organizing, it’s recommended to group by “project/client/use case”: for example, put covers, posters, and character designs into separate categories. This way, when you look back for assets in Midjourney, you can more quickly locate reusable prompts and style directions.

4. Upscaling, downloading, and delivery notes

After selecting an image, upscale it first (Upscale), then download it—this is more suitable for printing or delivery. Before downloading, check whether the file resolution and aspect ratio meet the platform’s requirements. In some cases you may need a transparent background or layered files; Midjourney doesn’t natively provide layered exports, so you should plan for a post-processing workflow.

When sharing externally, it’s recommended to save the corresponding prompt and parameters as well, so you can recreate a series in the same style. Archiving “prompt + parameters + seed” together is a time-saving approach many people use for long-term Midjourney work.
