After a long time, Midjourney has made a big update with the release of its latest image model: Midjourney V7. This new version brings major upgrades—smarter features, faster rendering, and deeper personalization. The Release comes right after OpenAI’s buzzworthy Ghibli-style image tool, but Midjourney V7 is carving its own path.
What’s New in Midjourney V7?
Midjourney V7 is more than just an update—it’s a complete overhaul. According to founder David Holz, it runs on a “totally different architecture,” which means it doesn’t just look better—it thinks better.
Here’s what you can look forward to:
- Smarter Prompt Interpretation: It understands your text inputs more naturally and accurately.
- Enhanced Image Quality: Expect lifelike textures, better body structures, and realistic hands.
- Personalization Options: Tailor the results to match your aesthetic and creative preferences.
- Draft Mode: Create images up to 10x faster at half the cost—ideal for quick concepts or rapid prototyping.
How Personalization Works
Before jumping in, there’s a quick setup step: rate around 200 images to help the system learn your style. Whether you’re into dreamy landscapes, surreal portraits, or specific color schemes, V7 will adapt to your artistic vibe. Once set up, you can toggle personalization on or off in the Midjourney web app or through Discord.
Modes to Match Your Workflow
| Mode | Speed | Cost | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Turbo | Blazing fast | Uses more tokens | Lower detail |
| Relax | Slower pace | Uses fewer tokens | Higher quality |
| Draft Mode | Quickest | Budget-friendly | Lower resolution (but upgradable later) |
Draft Mode is perfect when you’re pressed for time or running low on credits. You can always enhance images with a single click afterward.
What’s Still Missing – For Now
Some features are still in the process. However, V7 is powerful, it currently doesn’t support image upscaling or retexturing—but both are expected within the next month or two. Even more exciting, video and 3D generation tools are also on Midjourney’s roadmap.
Why Midjourney V7 Stands Out
- First major model update in a year
- Entirely new engine under the hood
- More intuitive text-to-image understanding
- Personalized art generation
- Lightning-fast Draft Mode
- Easy access via web and Discord
Getting Started with V7
- Personalize your experience: Spend a few minutes rating images—it’s worth it.
- Keep prompts simple: Clear and concise text gets the best results.
Midjourney V7 isn’t just a visual upgrade—it’s a smarter, faster, and more creative partner for your imagination.
