Scene and subject
State what appears in the image with concrete nouns before adding styling or camera language.
Midjourney prompt format
Image to Midjourney Prompt Generator
Convert a reference image into a Midjourney-ready prompt with clear scene language, visual style, composition, and optional parameters.
Create a Midjourney prompt
Put the image description first. Add Midjourney parameters after the prompt, where they can tune the output instead of replacing the idea.
Build the prompt before the parameters.
Midjourney responds best when the core visual direction is readable on its own. Parameters are useful after the scene, mood, and composition are already clear.
Composition
Describe wide angle, close crop, centered subject, top-down view, symmetry, depth, or negative space.
Style strength
Use words for material, color, era, and rendering style before relying on stylize values.
Parameters
Add aspect ratio, stylize, and variation controls only after the written prompt is already specific.
A Midjourney prompt should stay readable.
Use the reference as evidence. Keep the words that would change the generated image, and remove filler that does not affect the result.
Weak version
modern reading room --ar 16:9
Stronger prompt
warm architectural photograph of a modern reading lounge with a stone fireplace, wood ceiling beams, leather lounge chair, floor-to-ceiling windows, soft afternoon light, quiet luxury hotel atmosphere, balanced editorial composition --ar 16:9 --s 180
Midjourney prompt building blocks
Use these examples to separate visual description from Midjourney-specific controls.
Architecture Prompt
Subject and room details come first, then aspect ratio and stylize settings at the end.
Anime Prompt
Character design, expression, outfit, and setting usually matter more than a long parameter chain.
Vintage Poster Prompt
Era, print texture, color palette, and simplified shapes help Midjourney understand the reference style.
