how to use style reference in midjourney

HeyBraza points at the image icon and the style-reference drop slot so your --sref lands in the right place, not as a plain image prompt.

style reference (--sref) lets you carry one consistent look across many midjourney images - but in the web app it's a specific drop slot, and people keep dumping their image into the wrong one. here's exactly where the style-reference slot is and how to use a code or an image.

or do it yourself

  1. 1click the image icon in the imagine bar to open your uploads library, and upload a reference image if it isn't there yet.
  2. 2drag the image from the library into the imagine bar and drop it into the 'style reference' section (not the image-prompt one).
  3. 3to use a saved style instead of an image, type --sref followed by the code (e.g. --sref 12345) at the end of your prompt.
  4. 4tune how strongly it applies with --sw (style weight) - higher copies the style harder, lower keeps it loose.
  5. 5type your subject in the imagine bar and send - the new image takes your style from the reference, not its content.

common questions

what's the difference between an image prompt and a style reference?

an image prompt borrows the content and composition; a style reference (--sref) borrows only the look - colors, texture, mood - and applies it to a new subject.

where do i find sref codes?

you get one from any image's job details, or use --sref random for a surprise style, then reuse the code it gives you to lock that look.
