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.
