Does Promptify write Midjourney parameters for me?

Yes. Pick the version, aspect ratio, stylize, chaos, raw mode and exclusions with the controls and the page assembles a complete /imagine command from the image analysis. Nothing is guessed for you — the parameters are whatever you set.

Which Midjourney version should I use the prompt with?

Plain-sentence prompts work well on v6 and v7. Older versions respond better to short, comma-separated keyword lists, so trim it down if you're stuck on v5.

Will the result be identical to the original image?

No. A prompt captures style, composition, lighting and treatment, not the exact pixels. You'll get a picture in the same visual family, which is usually what people actually want when reverse-engineering a reference.

Midjourney image to prompt generator

Drop in a reference image and this image to prompt tool hands back a written Midjourney prompt describing subject, composition, lighting, lens and colour treatment. Set the version, aspect ratio, stylize, chaos and exclusions, and copy a finished /imagine command. Free, no sign-up.

/imagine command(sample reference)

/imagine prompt: a vast abandoned observatory on a cliff above a frozen fjord at blue hour, its cracked copper dome half open to a sky with the last band of orange on the horizon. Extreme wide establishing shot from a low vantage on the snow, a single tiny figure with a lantern walking the path toward the entrance to give scale. Cool ambient twilight across the snowfield, a warm practical glow spilling from the dome's opening, faint aurora ribbons above. Palette: deep steel blue, ice white, oxidised green copper, one ember orange. Anamorphic 35mm look at f/8, everything sharp to the horizon, drifting snow in the foreground, light atmospheric haze between the cliffs, epic quiet film-still mood. --ar 16:9 --v 7 --style raw --stylize 100

This command is built from a sample analysis of a cinematic environment. Change the controls to see it update, or upload your own reference.

Camera reading: 35mm anamorphic look, f/8, 1/30s, ISO 800, low angle from the snowfield, extreme wide

How the command builder works

1. Upload the reference. Promptify reads subject, framing, light direction, lens character and grade, and keeps the reusable description.
2. Set the parameters. Choose a version and aspect ratio, then move stylize and chaos. Turn raw mode on for photographic references.
3. Edit the exclusions. The negative prompt arrives as a --no list you can trim or extend.
4. Copy and run. Paste the finished command into Midjourney. If results drift from the reference, lower stylize and try again.

Midjourney parameters worth knowing

Parameter	What it does
--ar 3:2	Aspect ratio. Match it to the reference image or your final placement.
--v 7	Model version. v6 and v7 read natural-language prompts best.
--style raw	Turns off Midjourney's default beautification — vital for photographic or documentary references.
--stylize 100	How much artistic licence Midjourney takes. Low (50–150) stays close to your description; high (600+) drifts.
--chaos 0	Variation between the four grid images. Keep at 0 when you are matching a reference.
--no text, watermark	Exclusions. Add anything the reference happens to contain that you do not want.

How this differs from the general image tool

The image to prompt page gives you a full written analysis with switchable sections for any generator. This page skips straight to Midjourney: it keeps only the reusable description, turns the negative prompt into an editable --no list, and attaches the parameters you choose, so the output is a single command you paste into Discord or the web app.

Common mistakes when prompting Midjourney from a reference

Stacking style words. “cinematic, hyperrealistic, 8k, masterpiece, trending” cancels itself out. One clear stylistic statement beats five vague ones every time.

Forgetting --style raw. Midjourney's default look pushes contrast and saturation. For documentary, product or editorial references it'll overshoot unless you turn that off.

Mismatched aspect ratio. A composition written for a 3:2 frame falls apart at 1:1. The subject gets recentred and the negative space you wanted just disappears.

Describing content instead of treatment. Want the look of a reference, not its subject? Keep the lighting, lens, palette and grain sentences and swap out only the subject clause.
