Use Your Photo in Midjourney

October 21, 20252 min read

Want stunning AI images that actually look like you?

Here’s a quick guide to turning your photo into custom characters or scenes inside Midjourney (or similar AI art platforms).


1️⃣ Upload Your Photo

  • Go to Midjourney (or your chosen AI image platform).

  • Look for the Upload or Add Image option — usually in the user dashboard or image creation area. Upload image or add with link.

  • Pick a clear, well-lit photo that follows platform size and quality guidelines.


2️⃣ Start Your Prompt

  • After uploading, right-click the image and choose Copy Link (or on mobile: tap & copy link).

  • In the Midjourney chat, type:

    /imagine

    then hit Return.

  • Paste the link to your uploaded photo after your prompt and add your description.

  • You can also add an aspect ratio if you want, e.g. --ar 1:1 (square) or --ar 16:9 (wide).

Example:

/imagine A vibrant digital painting of me as an explorer goddess, cinematic lighting --ar 9:16<PASTE YOUR IMAGE LINK HERE>

3️⃣ Submit & Wait

Press Enter and let Midjourney work. The AI will process your photo and prompt — usually within a minute or two — to generate unique image variations.


4️⃣ Review & Download

  • When images are ready, click to upscale your favorites or generate more variations.

  • Download the ones you love to use in posts, websites, or creative projects.


💡 Pro Tips

  • Use a high-quality, front-facing photo for best likeness.

  • Include details in your prompt (style, mood, color palette).

  • Keep experimenting — small changes in words create very different looks.
