Simple Ways to Organize Your Midjourney Images

Accessing Organization Tools

To start organizing, go to the Midjourney website. Look at the menu on the left side. Click on the “Organize” option. Here, you will see all the images you have generated so far.

Creating a Standard Folder

On the right side of the screen, you will find the “Folders” option. Click on it to manage your folders. To make a new folder, select “Create new folder.” Give your new folder a name. You can call it anything you like, perhaps based on a project, a style, or a theme. After naming it, click “Create Folder.”

Adding Images to a Standard Folder

There are a few easy ways to add images to a standard folder:

Drag and Drop: Click and drag your mouse over several images to select them. Then, simply drag the selected images over the new folder and drop them in.

Selecting Individual Images: Hold down the Shift key on your keyboard and click on individual images. This lets you pick exactly which ones you want to move.

Selecting by Date: You can select all images created on a specific day. If you want to exclude a few from that day, hold Shift and click on the ones you don’t want.

Once your images are selected, drag them into the folder you just created. It’s that simple!

Working with Smart Folders

Midjourney offers another useful type of folder called a Smart Folder. These folders automatically collect images based on search terms you provide.

Creating a Smart Folder

Just like before, click on “Folders” and then “Create new folder.” This time, make sure to select the “Smart Folder” option. Give it a name that relates to the type of images you want it to hold.

An important thing to know about Smart Folders is that you cannot manually add or remove images from them. They work by automatically scanning your library.

How Smart Folders Work

To create a Smart Folder, you need to add at least one word or phrase into the “search terms” box. Midjourney will then look through all your past and future creations for those terms and automatically add matching images to this folder. For example, if you type “kitten” as a search term, the folder will automatically fill with all images you’ve created that contain the word “kitten” in their prompt or description.

Smart Folders are easy to spot. They have a small icon next to their name, which helps you tell them apart from regular folders.

Managing a large library of images can be time-consuming. For those looking to streamline their workflow even further, consider exploring automation tools. The

Regular vs. Smart Folders

Here’s a quick recap of the difference:

Standard Folders: You manually add and remove images. Best for curating specific collections or project assets.

Smart Folders: Automatically populated based on specified search terms. Ideal for organizing images by common themes, subjects, or styles without manual effort.

Both types of folders help you keep your Midjourney creations organized and easy to find.

Improving your image organization is just one step to a better Midjourney experience. If you find yourself repeatedly running similar prompts or managing many projects, check out options for automation. The
