Fine-tuning outputs: Using --no, --tile, and --repeat

Midjourney isn’t just about generating beautiful images—it’s also about giving you the tools to shape those results with precision. For creators who want more control, parameters like --no, --tile, and --repeat offer powerful ways to fine-tune outputs.

Whether you're removing specific elements, designing seamless textures, or generating visuals for looping animations, these features help bring more intention to your creative process. While they were once limited to Discord, they’re now fully supported on both the Discord and Web interfaces.

Negative prompting using --no

As you explore Midjourney's tools for refining your image outputs, the --no parameter is one of the most accessible ways to remove specific elements from your results. Whether you’re trying to exclude people from a landscape or eliminate text from a design, --no offers direct, prompt-level control over unwanted content.

Example:

This tells Midjourney to generate the scene while avoiding the inclusion of people and any text (like signs or labels).

Creating seamless textures with --tile

The --tile parameter enables you to generate seamless, repeatable images where all four edges—top, bottom, left, and right—connect perfectly. The result? A tileable image you can duplicate into grids (2×2, 3×3, or larger) without any visible seams.

This is especially useful when creating backgrounds, repeating character patterns, or surface designs that need to extend infinitely—whether for a website, product design, game map, or animation loop.

Example:

Midjourney will adjust the image so that the edges match up when repeated side by side.

You can test the result by tiling it in a design tool like Figma, Photoshop, or any grid-based image viewer.

Using --repeat to generate looping visuals

The --repeat parameter lets you generate multiple image grids from a single prompt—all in one go. It’s not about creating animation frames directly, but rather about quickly producing sets of image variations that you can review or combine later. Here's how it truly works, based on Midjourney's docs:

Example:

Despite its name, --repeat doesn’t create frame-to-frame animation directly. Instead, it gives you multiple outputs to choose from or assemble manually.

Fine-tuning with --no, --tile, and --repeat gives you precise control over your outputs—helping you remove specific elements, create seamless patterns, or generate multiple variations for looping visuals. These features are now fully supported in both the Web and Discord interfaces, making it easier than ever to refine your results. Whether you're working on design, texture, or animation projects, learning to use these parameters can take your creative process to the next level.
