Midjourney
What Midjourney is
Midjourney is a paid image-generation service available on the web, iOS, and Android. It creates images from text prompts, accepts reference images, supports image editing, and outputs PNG files. The web Editor includes Remix, inpainting, Pan, and Zoom Out. A single image can be turned into a five-second video, with optional text prompting. Subscriptions allow image creation on the Midjourney website and Discord, although those platforms have different features. The listed plans differ by Fast GPU Time, Relax image access, and concurrent prompt limits: Basic includes 3.3 hr/month Fast GPU Time, 200 minutes Fast GPU Time, and three concurrent image prompts; Standard includes 15 hr/month and Unlimited Relax images; Pro includes 30 hr/month and 12 concurrent Fast or three Relax prompts; Mega includes 60 hr/month and the same prompt limits. There is no free plan or website and Discord free trial.
