Personalize the appearance of your Midjourney images with the Style Tuner. Use the “tune” command to generate a range of sample images that showcase different visual styles based on your prompt. Pick your favorite images, and you’ll receive a unique code that you can use to customize the look of future job applications.

Share your Style Tuner and Codes with others to share, explore, and experiment with different aesthetics.

/tune is only compatible with Midjourney Model Version 5.2
/tune is only available while in Fast Mode.
--style parameters created with the Style Tuner are compatible with --stylize values between 20–1000.

How to Use the Style Tuner

1. Generate Your Custom Style Tuner

Create a Style Tuner page using the /tune command.

2. Select Your Preferred Options

Style Directions: Choose the number of image pairs you want to see in your Style Tuner (16, 32, 64, or 128 pairs).
Default Mode: Choose which style mode you prefer. (Default or Raw)

3. Submit your Job

Click the Submit button.
Confirm your submission.

Your Style Tuner generates a pair of images for each Style Direction. A Style Tuner with 16 directions will generate 32 images. A Style Tuner with 128 directions will generate 256 images. Generating these images uses your subscription’s Fast GPU time.

4. Open Your Custom Style Tuner

When your Style Tuner is ready, the Midjourney Bot will send you a direct message with a link to your Tuner.

5. Select images

Your Style Tuner will show rows of image pairs, each representing a distinct visual direction for your prompt. Click on the image you prefer in each pair. If you don’t feel strongly about either image, leave the empty middle box selected.

6. Copy Your Code

The Style Tuner generates a code you can add to your prompts with the --style <code> Parameter. Learn more about parameters.

To copy your prompt and Parameter

Find your customized code at the bottom of the page.
Click the Copy button to copy your original prompt and newly generated --style <code> parameter.

You can share your Style Tuner page with friends and generate new codes without using any additional GPU minutes!

7. Generate an Image

Return to Discord
Use the /imagine command and paste your copied prompt and --style <code> parameter into the prompt field.

8. Use Additional Midjourney Tools

Take your image further by using other Midjourney tools like Upscale, Pan, Zoom-Out, Remix, or Vary-Region.

9. Experiment and Explore

Use your style code with a new prompt: The Style Tuner uses your initial prompt to help you visualize the impact of your choices. However, the generated codes can be used with any prompt.
Experiment: Style codes and prompts interact in complex ways. A code may have a strong effect on one prompt and a subtle effect on a similar prompt. The images you choose in your Style Tuner can combine in unexpected and creative ways. Use style codes as a tool to explore new looks and visuals.
Generate more codes: You can return to your Style Tuner page at any time to change your selections and create new codes.
Share style codes: You can share or use style codes created by friends. Check out the Midjourney style-tuner channel to share your codes and discover new styles!

10. Save and Reuse Your Codes

Use the /settings command and turn on 📌Sticky Style. Sticky Style will save the last --style parameter used in your personal suffix, so you don’t have to repeat the code on future prompts. Change codes by using a new --style or unselecting 📌Sticky Style.
Use custom options to store your favorite codes.
Or, create your own Discord server to organize your images, prompts, image references, and Style Tuner codes.
