The Midjourney tile parameter is a feature that allows users to generate images that can be used as repeating tiles to create seamless patterns for various applications such as fabrics, wallpapers, and textures. To use the tile parameter, you simply add --tile to the end of your prompt. For example, if you want to create a tile with a watercolor koi pattern, your prompt would be “watercolor koi --tile“
Example 1: Watercolor Koi –tile
💡 Prompt: watercolor koi --tile --v 6.0
Example 2: Mona Lisa –tile
💡 Prompt: mona lisa --tile --v 6.0
Do you see the beautiful transitions between two aligned images? Note that the single output from the prompt was this image, and I arranged it as a tile:
Example 3: Soccer Girl –tile
💡 Prompt: soccer girl --tile --v 6.0
Example 4: Fairy Tale –tile
💡 Prompt: boy and girl fairy kiss each other on leaf in spring --tile --v 6.0
Example 5: Python Snakes –tile
💡 Prompt: python snakes --tile --v 6.0
Bonus Example: Lord Voldemort –tile
💡 Prompt: lord voldemort --tile --v 6.0
The --tile parameter is compatible with Midjourney Model Versions 1, 2, 3, test, testp, 5, 5.1, and 5.2. However, it does not work with the Niji model or Version 4. It’s important to note that the --tile parameter only generates a single tile. To visualize how the tile repeats and forms a pattern, you would need to use a pattern-making tool like a seamless pattern checker.
