How to Edit Midjourney Images Just Using the Website

Getting Started with the Editor

First, go to a Midjourney image you want to change on the Midjourney website. Find and click the “Editor” button. This opens the image in the editing area.

At the top, you’ll see different tools. We’ll cover what they do.

Changing Parts of Your Image (Repaint/Vary Region)

The editor lets you change just parts of your image. This is called repainting or varying a region. The first two tools are Erase and Restore.

Using the Erase Brush

The Erase tool is selected by default. It works like a brush. You paint over the area you want Midjourney to change. You can change the brush size using the slider or your mouse scroll wheel.

Tips for using the brush:

Paint an area a little bigger than what you want to change. This gives Midjourney more room to work.

If you erase too much, switch to the Restore brush or hold the Shift key while painting to bring the original area back.

Making Changes

Once you’ve brushed over the area:

Edit your original prompt text in the prompt box. Tell Midjourney what you want the brushed area to become. For example, if you painted over a shirt, you could add “wearing a tuxedo” to the prompt.

Or, leave the prompt as is if you want Midjourney to decide how to fill the space based on the rest of the image.

You can even remove things entirely. Paint over an object or person, then edit the prompt to describe the scene *without* that element. You can add the `–no [element]` parameter (like `–no person`) to help ensure items are removed.

Click “Submit” to generate new options based on your changes.

Working with Midjourney can be a lot about trial and error to get the perfect image. Sometimes generating many variations to find the best one takes time. Did you know there’s a tool called the

Changing Image Size and Positioning (Zoom and Pan)

The editor also lets you easily change the view of your image.

Zooming Out (Reframing)

To make your image cover a smaller part of the frame (zoom out):

Drag the “Scale” slider up to 10x.

Or, click and drag the corners of the image frame. The Scale slider will update as you drag.

A neat feature is dragging the arrows in the center of the image. This lets you place your starting image exactly where you want it within the new larger frame. Grid lines help you snap it to the center.

Adjust the prompt if needed to describe what should fill the new empty space, then click “Submit”. Zooming out is great for turning a close-up into a wider shot.

Zooming In (Potential Future Feature)

While you can drag the bars inward around the image, the editor does not currently support submitting a job to zoom *in*. However, the way the interface works suggests this might be a feature added later.

Changing the Image Shape (Aspect Ratio)

You can also adjust the shape of your image using the editor.

Click one of the preset aspect ratio buttons (like 16:9 for wide or 9:16 for tall).

Or, drag the small gray bars on the sides of the image frame to create a custom shape.

After changing the shape, drag the image around to position it where you want it inside the new frame. Be sure to update your prompt if the new shape adds a lot of empty space you want Midjourney to fill. Click “Submit” to get your image in the new aspect ratio.

Managing multiple aspect ratios or experimenting with different scales and paints can create many files. Tools like the

Where to Use the Editor

The new image editor interface is only available on the Midjourney website right now. You can still do similar repainting and reframing on Discord, but the steps are different.

Summary

Midjourney’s website image editor is a useful new tool. It brings repaint and zoom features into one easy place. You can make detailed changes with the brush, zoom out to add more to your scene, and change the image shape all within the same interface. This editor hints at easier ways to work with your images directly on the web platform in the future.
