Whether you’re new to MidJourney or have been using it since the beginning, you’re about to see just how much it has evolved.

Let’s take a trip through each version, from V1 to V6, and explore how MidJourney has improved with each iteration.

The Journey from V1 to V6: Key Milestones

1. MidJourney V1 (February 2022)
The beginning of it all. V1 was revolutionary at the time, but looking back, it seems basic compared to today’s standards.

Only 1,000 users were allowed in the initial phase. Early users shared their creations on social media, marking the birth of what would become a creative powerhouse.

With V2, the platform introduced new features like Upscaling and Variations, allowing users to refine their images. As MidJourney’s popularity grew, so did its user base, prompting the switch to a paid model.

V3 brought in two crucial parameters: Stylize and Quality. This version gave artists more control over the final look of their images, making it a game-changer for detailed artworks.

6. MidJourney V5.1 and V5.2 (May & June 2023)

7. MidJourney V6 (December 2023)
The most recent version is V6, and it’s a total game-changer. The improvements in image quality are mind-blowing, with photorealism reaching new heights. Plus, for the first time, text generation is now possible in MidJourney images. From creating hyper-realistic portraits to generating text-based designs, V6 brings a new level of precision and creativity to the platform.

Thinking this evolution what is clear is that from the v3 to the v4 there has been an incredible leap in terms of quality and results

Midjourney V4 has been the first step towards the realism and the definition, with an incredible, incredible esthetics...i really loved generating images with Midjourney V4.

Then from the V5 thing got more precise and detailed images, more realism, more quality..a new way to create photography has risen, but the truly stunning and genuine marvel that i felt starting using Midjourney V4 from the V3 wasn't equaled.

Let's see some V4 and V6 images fight!
