Midjourney v7 Complete Guide: Every New Feature and How to Use Them

Midjourney v7 is the most ambitious release the company has shipped since v5. New personalization, dramatically improved photorealism, a redesigned web app, and the long-awaited --style reference feature change how working artists use the tool.

1. Personalization.

Train Midjourney on your own aesthetic preferences by rating images. After ~200 ratings, every generation skews toward your taste. This is the closest thing to a 'style preset' the platform has ever had.

2. --style references (--sref).

Drop in any image URL with --sref and Midjourney mimics its visual style without copying its content. Game-changing for brand consistency.

3. --character references (--cref).

Lock in a character across multiple generations. Use the same person, same hair, same clothes in different scenes. Storyboard-friendly at last.

4. New web app.

The Discord-only era is over. Midjourney's web app is now the recommended interface. Faster, cleaner, easier to organize generations into projects.

5. Photorealism upgrade.

Skin texture, eyes, and hands are dramatically more realistic. The gap with Flux 1.1 Pro is closed.

6. Prompt understanding.

v7 follows complex prompts better — particularly compositional instructions like 'two people, one on the left wearing red, one on the right looking away.'

Pricing

Basic $10/mo (200 generations), Standard $30/mo (~900 fast hours), Pro $60/mo (unlimited relax mode). Yearly plans save 20%.

Our recommendation

if you stopped using Midjourney during the v6 era because Flux looked better, come back. v7 is genuinely the best AI image tool again for most aesthetic work.
