Style


The --style parameter replaces the default aesthetic of some Midjourney Model Versions. Adding a style parameter can help you create more photo-realistic images, cinematic scenes, or cuter characters.

Default Model Version 5.2 and the previous version 5.1 accept --style raw. Model Version Niji 5 accepts --style cute --style scenic --style original or --style expressive


Model Version 5.2 Styles

The current default Model Version 5.2 and the previous model version 5.1 have one style parameter, --style raw. --style raw uses an alternative model that may work well for users already comfortable with prompting who want more control over their images. Images made with --style raw have less automatic beautification applied, which can result in a more accurate match when prompting for specific styles.
