Set the creative direction
Choose V7 or V8.2 and describe the subject, medium and atmosphere. Adjust Stylize for aesthetic influence and Variety for more diverse interpretations.
Four directions. One next obsession.
Find a visual direction before you settle on a final image. Midjourney starts with a four-image grid, so you can explore the mood, choose a favorite and follow it into a variation.
Getting your studio ready…

Original four-image grid · Your result will differ.
Choose V7 or V8.2 and describe the subject, medium and atmosphere. Adjust Stylize for aesthetic influence and Variety for more diverse interpretations.
One initial request returns a grid with four compositions. Compare framing and mood, then use the result controls to extract one image or create a variation.
Extraction and variations are additional paid actions. Extracting a grid image does not increase its resolution. These follow-up actions are available for three days after the source task.
This independent interface uses an API provider and is not Midjourney’s own website. Niji, painting masks and the official site’s full editing suite are not included.
| Speed | Credits |
|---|---|
| relax | 10 |
| fast | 12 |
| turbo | 20 |
Each reference adds 3 credits. The Generate button shows your current quote. Compare credit packs and plans.
Extraction and variations cost extra and are available for three days after the original task. Review the price on each action before starting.
Available shapes: 1:1 · 4:5 · 5:4 · 3:2 · 2:3 · 4:3 · 3:4 · 16:9 · 9:16 · 21:9
Write a prompt and choose model settings to generate a four-image grid. After it completes, use the grid actions to extract a chosen image or request a variation. Each additional action shows its own credit cost.
The current integration supports V7 and V8.2, Relax/Fast/Turbo modes, Stylize, Variety, Raw, a seed and a negative prompt. Availability is limited to what our provider supports.
No. Extraction returns the selected image from the grid without a resolution increase. Variations generate a new grid. Both are paid follow-up actions and require a source task from the last three days.
New accounts receive 30 free credits. Generation and reference images use credits; after the welcome credits, choose a one-time pack or a monthly or annual plan. There is no unlimited generation tier.
