Midjourney
What it is
Midjourney is a paid image-generation service available on the web, iOS, and Android. It creates images from text prompts, accepts reference images, and provides editing tools such as Remix, inpainting, Pan, and Zoom Out. Output is PNG, and commercial use is included under its stated terms. A subscription enables image creation on both the Midjourney website and Discord, although their features differ. Midjourney also lists video models and can turn one image into a five-second video with optional text prompting. There is no free plan and no website or Discord free trial; a limited trial is available in the niji · journey app on iOS and Android. Four plans vary by Fast GPU Time, Relax image access, and concurrent prompt limits. API access is not provided, and automated interactions are generally prohibited. Creations are open by default, while Stealth Mode is limited to Pro and Mega.
For and against
For

The verdict
Midjourney offers prompt-based image creation with reference, editing, and limited video capabilities. Plan limits, open-by-default creations, and the lack of API access are important considerations.
Who it suits
It suits people creating images from prompts or references who also want browser and mobile access, editing, or short video generation. Commercial users should review the stated revenue condition and privacy limits before choosing a plan.
