The Dawn of Free AI Image Creation
Midjourney, a leading AI image generator, has opened its doors to everyone. You can now create up to 25 images for free without any initial sign-up. This move marks a significant shift from its Discord-only origins, making AI art creation more accessible than ever.
From Discord to the Web
Midjourney started as a Discord-based service two years ago. Users had to navigate through Discord and fine-tune their prompts to generate desired images. Last year, Midjourney launched its website, but it was limited to users who had created at least 10,000 images via Discord. Now, the platform is open to all, with a user-friendly website that requires only a Google or Discord account to start.
How to Get Started
- Log In: Use your Google or Discord account to log in. Existing Discord users can see their previously created images.
- Create: Type a prompt to generate four different images.
- Refine: Choose an image and refine it to match your vision.
Subscription Plans
While the free trial offers a taste of Midjourney’s capabilities, the platform also provides subscription plans for advanced features:
- Basic Plan: $10 per month
- Standard Plan: $30 per month
- Mega Plan: $120 per month
The Power of Prompts
Prompts are the heart of AI image generation. Here’s a simple guide to help you get the most out of Midjourney. Prompts guide the AI in creating the image you want. Being specific and descriptive can help the AI understand your vision better.
Prompt Example:
A serene landscape with a vast green field, a clear blue sky, and a single oak tree in the middle, in the style of Claude Monet
New Features: Character Reference
In March, Midjourney introduced the “Character Reference” feature. This allows users to upload character images that can be incorporated into a prompt. This feature is perfect for creating authentic portraits or integrating specific characters into your AI art.
The Future of AI Art
The democratisation of AI art tools like Midjourney is a game-changer. It opens up creative possibilities for artists, designers, and enthusiasts alike. As AI continues to evolve, we can expect even more innovative features and accessibility.
