Midjourney

The most expressive generated images for covers, presentations and ads, on the web or in Discord

Midjourney generates images from a text description with a recognizable aesthetic: presentation covers, post illustrations, ad visuals, stylized photos. It works on its website and in Discord, and has an editor for changing parts of an image, style consistency through references, and video from images. There is no free plan. It understands prompts in many languages and is most precise with English.

Pitfalls to watch at work

• On Basic and Standard all your images and prompts are public in the shared gallery: pre-launch material needs Pro with stealth mode
• Text inside the image comes out with errors, especially in non-Latin scripts: add lettering in an editor after generation
• Images in the style of a known brand or a real person create a risk of claims: clear advertising use with a lawyer
