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.

**Tool:** Midjourney v7

## 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.
