Seed

Seed numbers are generated randomly for each image but can be specified with the --seed parameter. If you use the same seed number and prompt, you will get similar final images.

• --seed accepts whole numbers 0–4294967295.

• --seed values only influence the initial image grid.

• Identical --seed values using Model Versions 1, 2, 3, test, and testp will produce images with similar composition, color, and details.

• Identical --seed values using Model Versions 4, 5, and niji will produce nearly identical images.

• Seed numbers are not static and should not be relied upon between sessions.

If no Seed is specified, Midjourney will use a randomly generated seed number, producing a wide variety of options each time a prompt is used.

Jobs run three times with random seeds:

prompt example: /imagine prompt celadon owl pitcher

Jobs run two times with --seed 123:

prompt example: /imagine prompt celadon owl pitcher --seed 123
