If you are tired of generating square images in midjourney and you want to make something different, you are not alone.
Most people use the default aspect ratio because they are not aware of other options.
In this article, you will discover fifteen different aspect ratio prompts with image examples that you can use in midjourney.
What does aspect ratio do?
Aspect ratio is a term that is used to describe the relationship between the width and height of your image. It affects the composition and even the style of the generated image.
By default, midjourney creates images with 1:1 aspect ratios, which is fine for most projects.
But if you want to generate images for a specific purpose, such as Instagram Stories, then you must use the right dimensions to make sure it fits properly.
To create a custom aspect ratio in midjourney, all you have to do is add –ar width:height or –aspect ratio width:height to the end of your prompt.
The following are prompt examples of fifteen various aspect ratios that you can create in midjourney version 5 and above.
