Midjourney

Midjourney is a subscription creative platform for generating and refining images and short videos from text and reference images. Its website combines image creation with an Explore community, an Editor, Personalization profiles, Moodboards, conversational prompt writing, and tools for organizing and downloading creations. The service also remains available through the Midjourney Discord server. All current plans are paid subscriptions; GPU time, video access, privacy, and Relax Mode depend on the selected tier.
