Active Midjourney subscription
Discord account linked to Midjourney
Basic understanding of Discord interface
Images ready to upload (JPEG, PNG, or WebP format)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Open Discord and navigate to Midjourney

Launch Discord and go to your Midjourney server or open a direct message with the Midjourney Bot. Make sure you're in a channel where you have permission to use bot commands.

Use #newbies or #general channels if you're on the official Midjourney server

Type the blend command

Type /blend in the message field. Discord will show you the command options. Press Tab or click on the /blend suggestion to activate the command interface.

Upload your first two images

Click on the image1 field and upload your first image by selecting it from your device. Then click on the image2 field and upload your second image. Both images must be under 25MB each.

Images with similar aspect ratios tend to blend more seamlessly

Add additional images (optional)

For more complex blends, click image3, image4, or image5 fields to add up to 3 more images. Each additional image will influence the final composition and style of the blended result.

Start with 2-3 images for your first blend to understand how the feature works

Adjust dimensions (optional)

Click the dimensions field to select your preferred aspect ratio. Choose from options like Portrait (2:3), Square (1:1), or Landscape (3:2). If not specified, Midjourney will use a default ratio.

Match the dimensions to your intended use case for best results

Execute the blend command

Press Enter to submit your blend command. Midjourney will start processing your images immediately. You'll see a progress indicator showing the blend is being generated.

Wait for results and select variations

After 30-60 seconds, Midjourney will display 4 blended variations in a grid. Use the U1, U2, U3, or U4 buttons to upscale your preferred version, or V1-V4 to create variations of a specific result.

Save multiple versions to compare different blending outcomes

Refine with additional prompts

To further customize your blend, copy the job ID and use it with the /imagine command along with additional text prompts. Add descriptive words after your blended image reference to guide the AI toward your desired style or elements.

Use prompts like 'more colorful', 'artistic style', or 'photorealistic' to refine the blend

Common Issues & Troubleshooting

Images won't upload or show error message

Check that your images are in JPEG, PNG, or WebP format and under 25MB each. Try compressing large files or converting unsupported formats.

Blend result looks nothing like source images

This happens when images have very different styles or subjects. Try blending images with similar color palettes or compositional elements for better results.

Command not working or showing permissions error

Ensure you have an active Midjourney subscription and are using the command in an appropriate channel. Try refreshing Discord or switching to a direct message with the Midjourney bot.

Blend taking too long or stuck processing

Wait up to 2 minutes for processing. If still stuck, try the command again. During peak hours, generation may take longer due to server load.
