MidJourney Styles — Visual Reference for AI Art Keywords

What it is

MidJourney Styles and Keywords Reference is a comprehensive visual catalog of MidJourney AI image generation styles, keywords, and parameters. Each style keyword is documented with example images showing what it produces, making it easy to find the right aesthetic for your prompts without trial and error.

The reference is maintained as a GitHub repository and is designed for AI artists, designers, and content creators who use MidJourney regularly. Instead of guessing what a style keyword does, you browse the reference, see the visual output, and copy the keyword into your prompt.

How it saves time or tokens

Finding the right MidJourney style normally requires extensive experimentation -- generating dozens of images with different keywords to see what works. This reference eliminates that trial-and-error loop by showing you the result of each keyword before you use it. You save both time and MidJourney credits by picking the right keyword on the first try. The reference also documents lesser-known parameters and combinations that most users never discover.

How to use

1. Browse the reference pages on GitHub organized by category (styles, artists, materials, lighting, camera angles).
2. Find a style or keyword that matches your desired aesthetic.
3. Copy the keyword and add it to your MidJourney prompt.
4. Combine multiple keywords for more specific results.

Example

# Basic style keyword usage
/imagine a mountain landscape --style raw --ar 16:9

# Combining style keywords
/imagine a portrait, cyberpunk style, neon lighting, cinematic --ar 2:3

# Using documented parameters
/imagine a forest scene --chaos 50 --stylize 750 --ar 16:9

# Material keywords from the reference
/imagine a vase, frosted glass material, studio lighting

Common pitfalls

• MidJourney updates its model regularly, and style keywords can change behavior between versions. What worked in v5 may look different in v6. Always test with your current version.
• Combining too many style keywords produces unpredictable results. Start with one or two keywords and add more incrementally.
• The reference documents keyword behavior at the time of creation. Always verify with a test generation before committing credits to a large batch.
