Midjourney v8 focuses on text rendering & control

Midjourney v8 focuses on legible typography inside images and finer control over composition via expanded reference-image tooling.

Typography pass

Text rendering — long a weak spot — uses a dedicated glyph pass that designers report is finally usable for short headlines and poster mockups, though paragraph-length copy still falters.

Short headlines finally look intentional — paragraph-length copy still needs manual touch-up.

Reference controls now accept multiple mood boards with weighted influence, making brand-locked sets easier without endless re-rolling.

v8 also refreshes default aspect ratios and upscaler quality, with a migration guide for prompts that relied on deprecated flags from v7.
