Midjourney v7 parameters cheatsheet (every flag, with examples)
Every Midjourney v7 parameter you can use in 2026: aspect ratio, style, character reference, weight, chaos, seed, niji, stop, no, tile, and the new --omni controls.
Composition + format
| Item | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
--ar W:H | Aspect ratio of the output. v7 supports any ratio between 1:14 and 14:1. | --ar 16:9 |
--tile | Generate a seamlessly tileable image for backgrounds, fabric, or textures. | |
--stop N | Stop the diffusion at N% of steps to force a sketchier, less detailed look. | --stop 60 |
Style + aesthetic
| Item | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
--stylize 0-1000 | How strongly Midjourney imposes its house aesthetic. Low = literal, high = artistic. | --stylize 250 |
--chaos 0-100 | Variation across the 4-image grid. Higher chaos = more diverse, less predictable. | --chaos 30 |
--niji 7 | Switch to the Niji anime/illustration model. | --niji 7 |
--raw | Disable some default beautification — closer to your literal prompt. | |
Reference + consistency
| Item | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
--cref <url> | Character reference. Tells v7 to keep the same character across outputs. | --cref https://imgur.com/face.png --cw 100 |
--sref <url|code> | Style reference. Borrow the look of a source image or saved style code. | |
--sw 0-1000 | Style reference weight: how strongly the style of --sref influences output. | |
--cw 0-100 | Character reference weight: how strictly to keep the --cref face. | |
Iteration + reproducibility
| Item | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
--seed N | Pin the random seed so the same prompt + seed produces a reproducible image. | --seed 12345 |
--no X | Exclude something. Negative prompt. | --no text, watermark |
--weird 0-3000 | Push toward unusual, unexpected aesthetics. | |
Performance + quality
| Item | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
--quality 0.25/0.5/1/2 | GPU time multiplier. 1 = default, 2 = more detail and slower. | |
--draft | Fast preview mode — uses a small fraction of GPU minutes. | |
FAQ
What is the default aspect ratio in Midjourney v7?
1:1 (square). Use --ar 16:9 for cinematic, 9:16 for stories, 3:2 for editorial.
Does --stylize still work in v7?
Yes, --stylize 0-1000 still controls how strongly the Midjourney house style is applied. Default is 100; many photoreal prompts work better at 25-75.
Can I combine --cref and --sref?
Yes. Use --cref for character identity and --sref for art style at the same time. Tune both weights independently with --cw and --sw.
