Midjourney is one of the top AI image makers. You type something like “a fox wearing a wizard hat, oil painting, moody lighting” — and it draws that for you.

What makes it special

• Beautiful style. Many artists say Midjourney’s images look more like real art than other AI tools.
• Huge community. Millions of users share prompts and pictures.
• Fast. Usually makes 4 versions in under 30 seconds.

How you use it

Originally Midjourney only worked inside Discord (a chat app). You’d type /imagine and your prompt. Now it has a proper website too. Both work.

Price

Starts at $10/month for the Basic plan. Heavy users pay $30-$60/month for more image creations per month.
