How to blend multiple images on Midjourney
Quick Answer
Midjourney's blend feature combines 2-5 images to create a new composite image. Use the /blend command in Discord, upload your images, and Midjourney will merge them based on their visual elements and composition.
Prerequisites
- Active Midjourney subscription
- Discord account linked to Midjourney
- Basic understanding of Discord interface
- Images ready to upload (JPEG, PNG, or WebP format)
1
Open Discord and navigate to Midjourney
Launch Discord and go to your Midjourney server or open a direct message with the Midjourney Bot. Make sure you're in a channel where you have permission to use bot commands.
Tip
Use #newbies or #general channels if you're on the official Midjourney server
2
Type the blend command
Type
/blend in the message field. Discord will show you the command options. Press Tab or click on the /blend suggestion to activate the command interface.3
Upload your first two images
Click on the image1 field and upload your first image by selecting it from your device. Then click on the image2 field and upload your second image. Both images must be under 25MB each.
Tip
Images with similar aspect ratios tend to blend more seamlessly
4
Add additional images (optional)
For more complex blends, click image3, image4, or image5 fields to add up to 3 more images. Each additional image will influence the final composition and style of the blended result.
Tip
Start with 2-3 images for your first blend to understand how the feature works
5
Adjust dimensions (optional)
Click the dimensions field to select your preferred aspect ratio. Choose from options like Portrait (2:3), Square (1:1), or Landscape (3:2). If not specified, Midjourney will use a default ratio.
Tip
Match the dimensions to your intended use case for best results
6
Execute the blend command
Press Enter to submit your blend command. Midjourney will start processing your images immediately. You'll see a progress indicator showing the blend is being generated.
7
Wait for results and select variations
After 30-60 seconds, Midjourney will display 4 blended variations in a grid. Use the U1, U2, U3, or U4 buttons to upscale your preferred version, or V1-V4 to create variations of a specific result.
Tip
Save multiple versions to compare different blending outcomes
8
Refine with additional prompts
To further customize your blend, copy the job ID and use it with the
/imagine command along with additional text prompts. Add descriptive words after your blended image reference to guide the AI toward your desired style or elements.Tip
Use prompts like 'more colorful', 'artistic style', or 'photorealistic' to refine the blend
Troubleshooting
Images won't upload or show error message
Check that your images are in JPEG, PNG, or WebP format and under 25MB each. Try compressing large files or converting unsupported formats.
Blend result looks nothing like source images
This happens when images have very different styles or subjects. Try blending images with similar color palettes or compositional elements for better results.
Command not working or showing permissions error
Ensure you have an active Midjourney subscription and are using the command in an appropriate channel. Try refreshing Discord or switching to a direct message with the Midjourney bot.
Blend taking too long or stuck processing
Wait up to 2 minutes for processing. If still stuck, try the command again. During peak hours, generation may take longer due to server load.
