Midjourney Web Guide 2025: How to Create AI Images and Videos Without Discord
Artificial intelligence is redefining creativity, and Midjourney remains the most talked-about tool in generative art. While it started as a Discord-only experience, you can now create directly on the Midjourney website — no bot commands required. This guide walks you through everything you need to know about using Midjourney’s web app in 2025.
Why the Web Version Matters
- Lower barrier to entry: No need to learn Discord commands.
- Visual interface: Simple buttons for upscaling, variations, and video.
- Still powerful: All subscription tiers apply equally in the web app.
- Optional Discord: Use it only if you want community interaction or experimental features.
Step 1: Sign Up and Log In
- Go to midjourney.com.
- Log in with either your Google account or your Discord profile.
- Pick a subscription plan — Basic, Standard, Pro, or Mega. Midjourney no longer offers unlimited free trials, so a plan is required to generate consistently.
Step 2: Create Your First Image
- Navigate to the Create page.
- At the top, use the Imagine Bar to type your text prompt.
- Watch your image generate in real time inside the Creation Feed.
Prompt Example
a celestial council in a grand hall, classical architecture, golden rim light, dramatic shadows, ultra-detailed, cinematic
Pro tip: Strong prompts combine subject + style + lighting + perspective + mood.
Step 3: Refine and Edit
- Upscale: Increase resolution and detail.
- Variation: Subtle or strong variations expand creative options.
- Image editor: Upload your own image and edit directly in the web app.
- Zoom/Pan: Extend compositions beyond the original frame.
Step 4: Understand GPU Modes
Midjourney subscriptions give you GPU time, not just “image counts.”
- Fast Mode → Quick results, GPU time deducted.
- Relax Mode → Slower but unlimited (Standard plan and above).
- Stealth Mode → Keep generations private (Pro and Mega only).
- Turbo → Fastest response, higher GPU cost.
Step 5: Generate Videos
Yes, Midjourney now supports video generation in its web app.
- All plans: SD video in Fast mode.
- Standard/Pro/Mega: HD video in Fast mode.
- Pro/Mega: Unlimited SD video in Relax mode.
- Parameters: Use
--motion,--loop, or--bs(batch size) for advanced video control.
Step 6: Manage Privacy and Publishing
- Stealth Mode: Hide your work from the public gallery (Pro/Mega).
- Publish/Unpublish: Choose which creations appear in your profile.
- Account linking: If you’ve used Discord in the past, connect accounts to keep your full history.
Workflow Example (Web-Only)
- Log in → Create page.
- Enter a prompt in the Imagine Bar.
- Generate in Fast Mode for a quick result.
- Use Variations to explore multiple looks.
- Upscale the best candidate.
- (Optional) Switch to Video mode → choose SD or HD.
- Save or publish — toggle Stealth if you want it private.
Which Plan Is Right for You?
- Basic ($10/mo): 3.3h Fast GPU time. Good for learning and casual use.
- Standard ($30/mo): 15h Fast + unlimited Relax images. Perfect balance for hobbyists and designers.
- Pro ($60/mo): 30h Fast, Stealth Mode, unlimited Relax. Ideal for freelancers and agencies.
- Mega ($120/mo): 60h Fast, maximum concurrency, unlimited Relax. Built for heavy commercial use.
Final Thoughts
Midjourney’s web app has transformed accessibility: you no longer need Discord to create AI art. Whether you’re experimenting with fantasy concept art, product mockups, or cinematic video loops, the browser-based workflow is fast, intuitive, and powerful. Discord is still there if you want community feedback or advanced features, but for most creators, the web version is now more than enough.
