In the ever-expanding world of AI-generated art, Midjourney now offers a way to bring your personal taste and style directly into your creations with the --p personalization parameter. By simply ranking image aesthetics and favoriting images on midjourney.com, you can teach Midjourney to generate images that reflect your unique visual preferences. Here’s how to use --p and why it’s a game-changer for personalized AI artwork.

1. What is the --p Parameter?

The --p (or --personalize) parameter allows you to apply a custom style tailored to your taste based on your interactions on midjourney.com. As you browse and rank image pairs or give a heart (❤️) to images you like, Midjourney captures these preferences, forming a "style profile" unique to you. This profile then guides the generation process, aligning the output with your artistic leanings.

To activate your personalized style, simply add --p or --personalize at the end of your prompt:

2. Building and Evolving Your Style Profile

The more you rank and like images, the more refined your personalized style becomes. Midjourney uses only your interactions with images from the broader community, not likes on your own images, so your style is truly shaped by the aesthetics that catch your eye. Over time, the AI refines its understanding of your preferences, allowing you to produce increasingly tailored artwork.

You can also access older versions of your personalization style or even explore the style of other users by using personalization codes. To apply a specific style code, use:

By default, --p uses the latest version of your personalized style.

3. How to Personalize with Niji

For fans of the anime-focused Niji model, Midjourney offers a separate personalization system. By ranking Niji image pairs, you can create a distinct personalization profile for Niji Version 6. This profile functions independently from your main Midjourney profile, giving you precise control over both styles.

4. Getting Started with --p

You’ll need to interact with a sufficient number of images to unlock the --p feature. If you attempt to use --p before ranking enough image pairs or liking enough images, Midjourney will prompt you to continue interacting until there’s enough data to accurately reflect your taste.

The --p personalization feature is a powerful way to bring your personal aesthetic into your Midjourney experience. Whether you’re drawn to surreal landscapes, modern fashion, or minimalist designs, your unique visual style can now guide every prompt. With --p, your creations evolve alongside your preferences, making AI artwork more intuitive and personal than ever.

So, start exploring, ranking, and liking on midjourney.com, and watch your personalized style come to life!
