How to use Midjourney’s website to generate amazing images with AI
Screenshot by Lance Whitney/ZDNETLooking for a logo for your business, artwork for a project, or an image for a report? You can choose from an array of generative AI apps and sites to create your image. However, one service that offers truly impressive results is Midjourney. With this tool, you can simply describe the type of image you want by entering a text prompt. In return, the site delivers four high-quality renderings.

That process required a fair amount of fiddling with text-based prompts, which was a clumsy and sometimes frustrating experience. To appeal to those who didn’t like the Discord method, Midjourney kicked off a dedicated website late last year.

Now that the site is accessible to anyone, all Midjourney users can use it to generate images. One of the perks of the website, at least for now, is that your first 25 AI-generated images are free.
