Using Aspect Ratios and Resolutions
Last updated September 9, 2024
Controlling the aspect ratio and resolution of your images is essential for creating artwork that fits your intended purpose. Whether you're designing for social media, print, or other uses, Midjourney provides tools to customize these aspects.
Aspect Ratio
- Understanding Aspect Ratio: Aspect ratio refers to the ratio of an image's width to its height. Common aspect ratios include 16:9 (landscape), 9:16 (portrait), and 1:1 (square).
- Using the `--ar` Parameter: To adjust the aspect ratio of an image, use the `--ar` parameter followed by the aspect ratio you want. For example:
- `--ar 16:9` (landscape)
- `--ar 9:16` (portrait)
- `--ar 1:1` (square)
Resolution
- Resolution Basics: Resolution refers to the number of pixels in an image, which determines the overall detail and sharpness.
- Upscaling: You can increase the resolution of an existing image by using the "U" button to upscale it to a higher quality.
- Quality Parameters: While upscaling improves resolution, you can also influence the resolution with the `--quality` parameter.
- `--quality normal`
- `--quality high`
- `--quality rough` (lower resolution)
