How to Get Midjourney to Write Text

Intro–Can you add text to Midjourney?

Well, first of all, Midjourney cannot really understand the meaning of the words linguistically. It understands the meaning of the words and how they look like. For that, it can be hard sometimes to generate images with text on them because Midjourney makes some misspellings or errors in writing the correct text given to it. You might get confused if you want Midjourney to be your logo designer or poster designer because it seems like it understands letters absolutely in an abstract and intuitive way. However, there are some tips and tricks tried out by some YouTubers and myself that I will show you today so you can make cool images on Midjourney with your desired text on them. If you know how to write a good prompt in Midjourney, let’s get started!

How to add text to your image in Midjourney – 9 Tips

Start your prompt with that word

Imagine you want to have the word “flower” on your image. In this case, it helps to start writing your text prompt with “flower” itself. 

Repeat the text in your prompt 

When writing your text prompt in Midjourney, repeating the text in your prompt would help you get the exact word in your image. You can choose the word adjustment in your text, but repeating it twice or thrice would be acceptable.

Use quotation marks and ‘write’

Putting your text between two quotation marks makes Midjourney understand that you ant that word as text in your image. You can also command Midjourney to ‘write’ a particular text.

Keep the text short

Keep the text you need to be on your image short; for example, one or two words. Midjourney is not so good at writing short words on images, let alone long phrases! 😁

Add the name of your desired font

Midjourney knows different font names, and adding a font name after the word you enter can help Midjourney understand that you require text on your image and get Midjourney to write text.

Use certain words

Using words that are related to texts can help you big time to get what you want from Midjourney. For example, logo, headline, title, album cover, book cover, watermark, quote, etc. 

Keep generating variations

Writing a good text prompt, you might need help getting what you wanted in the first place. You just need to make Midjourney variations, keep generating new images based on the most favorable one and keep going to get the image you want.

Use an image with your text in the prompt

You can use an image link at the first of your text prompt and command Midjourney to make a custom variation out of it. That image must include text in it, so you get better results.

Couldn’t get what you want? Start cleaning up!

Getting Midjourney to write text can be a time-consuming task. It can be tiring. However, you can take advantage of its ability to create amazing images and add text to them or clean up the text in the photos yourself later. If you’re familiar with photo editing software, you can DIY or easily do it by ordering Photoshop services online.
