If you are a creative person, you are in luck: we live in a golden age to let your imagination run wild with the help of artificial intelligence. If we stick to image generation, Midjourney is one of the most outstanding tools because of how impressive it is and the best thing is that you can use it from your phone for free. A good experiment to test it can be to generate an image as a wallpaper for your mobile : we show you how to do it with Midjourney and Discord step by step.
ChatGPT may be the most popular AI tool around, but OpenAI is by no means the only company getting into AI. And when it comes to visuals, what can be achieved with Midjorney in our experience is more impressive than its OpenAI counterpart Dall-E2, although it requires a bit more effort. In any case, as you will see, it will be a matter of a few minutes and at zero cost.
How to generate images with Midjourney from your mobile
To generate images with Midjourney, the first thing you need to install on your Android phone is the Discord application ( download it from the Google Play Store ), since this tool does not have its own website or application for its use. In other words, everything is done from the Discord servers, using text orders that you will have to enter.
Now open the app and sign up using an email or phone number. Once you log in, in the menu on the left side click on the “+” and at the bottom click on ” Join the server ” and write ” Midjourney “. If you prefer, you can do it directly by clicking on this link to the Midjourney server and log in with your username.
Now that you are inside, look at the list of channels created within the server that you will see in the upper left menu and enter any that appear under ” Newcomer rooms” (or “Newcomers rooms 2), they are the ones that are used to request images The name of the channels are similar to “newbies-XX”, where XX is a number (I have entered newbies-15).
At the bottom of that channel you will see a white box where you can enter text. That’s where you have to write the description of what you want, but not in any way: type “/imagine” . As you type it, you will see how Discord offers you suggestions, specifically you are interested in the “prompt” command.
Now yes, write below what you want to be generated. The more precision and clarity you have, the better the results will be. Of course, you will have to do it in English , so either you defend yourself with the language of Shakespeare or you will have to use the translator. When you have done so, click on send. The first time you do it you will have to accept the terms of service.
And now that? Since the channels are public, your requests will be mixed with the rest of the users, so you will have to pay attention and not miss the generated images.
Take a look at the four images generated by Midjourney to see if any of them convince you. Keep in mind that by default they are assigned numbers from 1 to 4 according to their position, which will allow you to add subsequent orders :
- If you use U1-U4, the tool will refine the photo by improving the resolution (upscale)
- If you use V1-V4, the tool will generate four images from the chosen one.
When you already have the photo you like, tap on it to see it on your screen and save it to your Android phone photos .
This is a basic tutorial for Midjourney, but as you’ll see even with your first try, you have plenty of scope to customize the generated image to your liking. With Midjourney’s free access you have 25 images at your disposal … and the rest of the channel.
