Midjourney V8.2 AI Image Generator

V8.2 improves aesthetics and image quality over V8.1, adds the --q 1-4 detail parameter at no extra cost, and outputs native 2K with HD quality. In Draft mode, V8.2 returns 24 lightweight sketches per run instead of V8.1’s 4 images.

Draft mode returns 24 lightweight 512px sketch images in a single run. It is designed for quickly exploring compositions and directions before spending credits on finished Fast or HD generations. Draft cannot be combined with HD quality.

--q (or --quality) sets the detail level from 1 to 4, written directly in your prompt. Level 4 engages the high-quality mode. It is passed through natively and costs nothing extra.

No. V8.2 supports Draft and Fast speeds only—Turbo is not available on this version. For the highest quality, use Fast speed with HD quality for native 2K output.

Yes. --sref works on V8.2: point the model at a reference image and generate new subjects in that style. Note that --oref and --cref are not supported on V8.2.

Yes. Place up to 4 publicly accessible image URLs at the start of your prompt and describe what to keep or change. One image needs a text description to be valid; two or more images can stand alone.

Two: standard and HD. HD renders at native 2K resolution and costs 1.5x the standard credits. HD cannot be combined with Draft mode.

Midjourney moderates each image individually. If some variations are filtered, the remaining ones are delivered normally and the task completes; if all images are filtered, the task fails and the reserved credits are refunded in full.

Yes. You can start with free trial credits on AI Effect, then continue with pay-as-you-go credits. No subscription required.

You pay per generation with credits: 16 credits for Draft or Fast at standard quality, and 24 for Fast with HD (native 2K, a 1.5x multiplier). Draft returns 24 sketches and Fast returns 4 finished images at the same credit price. Sign-up includes free trial credits—no subscription.

No. AI Effect runs Midjourney V8.2 directly on the web with pay-as-you-go credits—no Discord account, no monthly subscription. Write your prompt, generate, and download.

No. --q (1-4) is a free detail-level parameter passed through with your prompt and never changes the credit price. The only quality option that changes pricing is HD output, which costs 1.5x credits for native 2K.

Midjourney generations typically take a few minutes, longer than most other image models. You can keep working while your generations run—results appear as soon as they finish.

Concept art and illustrations with the classic Midjourney aesthetic, posters and covers, brand and campaign visuals, style-consistent image sets with --sref, and quick composition exploration with Draft mode.
