Midjourney V7 Prompt Guide: Tips, Parameters & Best Prompts 2026

Midjourney V7 represents a massive leap forward in prompt comprehension, photorealistic texture rendering, and typography placement. To take advantage of these updates, you must adapt your prompt formulas and parameter settings.

Core Midjourney V7 Parameter Guide

Parameters tell the Midjourney bot how to construct the aspect ratio, style, and randomness of your image. Here are the core parameters you should append to every prompt:

Parameter Function Recommended Setting
--ar [X:Y] Sets aspect ratio. V7 supports any ratio without rendering distortion. Use 16:9 for cinema, 9:16 for mobile.
--style raw Disables Midjourney's default artistic optimization, giving you raw control. Highly recommended for editorial, photorealistic, or flat graphic art.
--stylize [0-1000] Controls how much artistic flare Midjourney adds to your scene. Use --s 100 for photorealism, and --s 750 for fantasy illustration.
--weird [0-3000] Adds quirky, unique, or unconventional elements to the generation. Use --w 250 for unique branding or editorial fashion concepts.

Mastering Style Reference (--sref) and Character Reference (--cref)

V7 has perfected character and style consistency. If you want to keep the same character face across multiple images or copy a specific aesthetic style, use reference tags:

  • Character Reference (--cref url): Appends a reference image URL to lock in facial features, body structure, and hair. You can control the weight with --cw [0-100]. Use --cw 0 to copy the face only, and --cw 100 to copy the face, hair, and clothing.
  • Style Reference (--sref url): Appends a style image URL to mimic the exact colors, brush strokes, textures, and lighting of the source. Control the strength with style weight (--sw [0-1000]).

Writing Prompts for Text Rendering

Unlike earlier versions that scrambled text, Midjourney V7 can render clean words and signage. To render text accurately, place the target words inside double quotes, and specify the font style. For example:

"A minimal flat vector logo of a coffee shop, with the text "ROAST" written below it in a clean sans-serif typeface, solid cream background, modern branding design --style raw --ar 1:1"
