What Midjourney Guides and Tools Does Midlibrary Offer?
Updated
Midlibrary is more than a style index: alongside its library of Midjourney artistic styles and SREF codes, it publishes workflow guides and provides browser-based tools for exploring and organizing styles. The guides cover practical Midjourney tasks such as upscaling, style usage, and comparisons with other image models, while the tools include Personal Style Libraries, Color Roulette, Style Roulette, and Style Benchmark. Most of this is accessible from the site's main navigation, though saving styles into collections involves tier limits.
Guides and Educational Content
Midlibrary's "Learn" section organizes its written material into Guides, Experiments, and Reviews. The site describes these as covering "Midjourney Guides, Experiments, Reviews," and the homepage highlights several recent entries:
- How to use Midlibrary — a starting-point guide for navigating the style library.
- Creative Upscaling with Magnific AI — an upscaling workflow guide.
- Midjourney Vs. Nano Banana — a comparison piece on AI art output.
- Tripo AI: From Midjourney Generations to 3D Models — a guide on moving Midjourney images into 3D.
- Upscaling AI Art for High-Quality Printing, Pt. 1 — listed among the most popular guides, aimed at print preparation.
There is also an In Focus series, which profiles individual artists and styles; the homepage names Claude Cahun as a current entry. A separate Masters Of Midjourney course is listed under the Learn menu.
These are editorial guides rather than interactive tools — you read them to pick up a workflow, then apply it in Midjourney yourself.
Tools for Exploring and Saving Styles
The site lists four tools under "Midjourney tools":
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| Personal Style Libraries | Lets you save styles into named collections |
| Color Roulette | A randomized way to explore color directions |
| Style Roulette | Surfaces styles at random, presumably for discovery |
| Style Benchmark 3 | Benchmark-oriented style content |
The library itself is the core resource: the site states it holds 4,000 artistic styles represented by unique reference codes (SREF codes) and 5,505 categories covering artists, artistic techniques, art movements, and titles. Each style entry offers Save to Collection, Copy SREF code, and Copy prompt actions, so you can move a style directly into a Midjourney prompt.
A practical example
Suppose you want a textured, painterly look for a portrait. You browse the "Popular Styles This Month" list, find an entry such as Vermiculation texture under General Modifiers, click Copy SREF code, and paste it into your Midjourney prompt as the style reference. If you expect to reuse it, click Save to Collection and give the collection a name.
Compilations and Curated Lists
Beyond individual style pages, Midlibrary publishes Best Styles Compilations and Top Artistic Styles lists. These are curated groupings rather than tools — useful when you want a shortlist instead of browsing thousands of entries. The "Popular Styles This Month" block on the homepage also rotates current favorites across categories like General Modifiers, Illustrators, and Fashion Designers.
Newsletter and Ongoing Content
The site offers a Newsletter signup and points to a Daily Instagram account for regular style posts. It also states that supporting the project through Patreon helps keep the library free for everyone — which indicates the core library is intended to remain openly accessible, while the site's pricing signals (subscribe, upgrade) relate to account tiers.
What to Know Before You Rely on Collections
The collection interface shows a capacity counter ("15 / 25") and a prompt to "Upgrade your tier to save more styles" and "Upgrade your tier to add more Collections." In other words, saving styles is available, but the number of saved styles and collections is capped by account tier. If your workflow depends on building large personal libraries, check your tier's limits first; if you only need to copy SREF codes and prompts occasionally, the cap is unlikely to matter.
The site also notes that its images are created by the Midlibrary team using Midjourney AI and are "not representative of real artists' works," and asks users to request permission before reusing published materials.
