The world of AI generated art has been painting itself into history these past couple of years, with more platforms to create images from simple text prompts being created regularly. MidJourney has made a name for itself as one of the most advanced text-to-image applications out there. If you haven’t heard of it yet, you might be asking what is MidJourney, and well, then what is MidJourney V6?
MidJourney V6 – what is it and what’s new? With each new installment further blending the lines of fantasy and reality, read on if you’re interested in finding out more.
What is MidJourney?
MidJourney is a text-to-image software that will transform written text inputs, known as prompts, given by the user into AI generated visual art using natural language processing.
When used efficiently and with precision, MidJourney can help you create virtually anything from realistic portraits of fantasy characters to dreamy landscapes, from simple written input.
MidJourney V5 was considered a huge triumph for both the company and the world of AI generated art itself due to its undeniable improvements to its predecessors, including V4. Following this, fans of MidJourney are tantalized by the possibilities of what the next installment could bring. Here are some of the expected and predicted features of MidJourney V6.

What’s new in MidJourney V6?
Midjourney V6 is anticipated to add several improvements and new capabilities to the software, making it even more robust and user-friendly. Here are some of the expected new features and enhancements so far:
- Higher image resolution
- Smarter natural language processing
- Improved hand generation
- 3D models
Higher image resolution
MidJourney V5 had an impressive resolution of 1024×1024 resolution, but V6 is expected to release a new upscaler with a maximum resolution of 2048×2048 pixels – almost twice as much as the existing. As a result, Midjourney V6 will enable you to produce photographs that are crisper and more detailed, appropriate for a variety of uses and platforms.
We can expect a higher resolution and levels of realism than we have ever seen from this generative platform before.
Smarter natural language processing
We can expect V6 to have even more advanced natural language processing and coherency than previous versions. It will be able to understand more conversational language without getting confused, making it even more efficient at generating images with a likeness to the vision of the creator.
Improved hand generation
The improvement of the generation of physical human features by MidJourney in V5 really blew users out of the water, so there is no doubt that this might be another thing the developers will be working on. The software continues to strive to close the gap between human creativity and artificial intelligence.
3D models
There has been some speculation that one of the new features of MidJourney V6 will be the capability of it to create 3D models, as well as to export users images in a larger variety of formats. This has the potential to really revolutionize the creation of digital content, as well as expand the context in which AI generative art could be used.
When will MidJourney V6 be released?
It is still unknown exactly when we can expect MidJourney V6 to be released, and we are still waiting on more official announcements from MidJourney on this new version of its software.
You can access the other versions of MidJourney on Discord if you’re excited for the release of V6 but still need to get familiar with the software in the meantime. We have also covered some of the best MidJourney prompts here if you need some inspiration to get you started.
Final Thoughts
Overall, V6 is almost a completely new universe for the MidJourney team, with an even more dynamic range of tools at the users fingertips to create both realistic and unrealistic artwork. Although we have no official release date, we can wet our appetite with these rumored features for now.
It is almost scary to see how quickly the program has developed, given that it was only created in July of last year. But will it remain as popular given how many other programs are being created? We’ve weighed up the differences between MidJourney and Stable Diffusion and also explored its free alternative OpenJourney that are other generative AI software with similarly advanced features.
