Stylize

​

Control the artistic flair in your images with the stylize parameter: --stylize or --s

For more information about V8.2, see our Version article.

​

What is Stylize?

Think of stylize as a slider that changes how much artistic creativity is applied to your image. With a low stylize setting, it’s like asking for an image that follows your prompt very closely—Midjourney sticks to the facts without much extra flair. With a higher stylize setting, it’s like giving Midjourney more freedom to interpret your idea. The image might look more artistic and visually interesting, but it could stray from the exact details of your prompt. So, stylize lets you choose if you want your image to be more literal (based on your prompt) or more creative and artistic. The default value for stylize is 100, and you can adjust it anywhere between 0 and 1000 with the latest Midjourney versions. Video tutorial: Watch this quick video tutorial on Stylize below.

​

Setting the Stylize Value

• On Web
• In Discord

Add --s # to the end of your prompt in the Imagine bar. You can choose a default Stylization for all your images in the settings panel. To do this, click the settings button in the Imagine bar. Once you set it, this will apply to all your future prompts. Add --s # to the end of your prompt in Discord. You can also set the default Stylize value for all your images using the settings command and selecting one of the Stylize preset buttons. 🖌️ Stylize med is the default. You can see the exact value of each preset by selecting it and looking at “Current suffix”
