In the Archive section, you have the ability to view all your creations in a chronological manner. This feature helps you keep track of your creative journey over time.
Search bar (Subscription Users)
Search Functionality in the Midjourney Web App
Using the Search Bar
As a subscribed user, you gain access to the search bar where you can look up image prompts, either your own or those used by others. This offers a convenient way to quickly locate specific images.
Searching with Job IDs
You can also search for particular articles or images using their unique Job ID.
Find a Job ID
What is a Job ID?
A Job ID is a unique identifier assigned to each image generated on the Midjourney platform. It typically looks like a string of numbers and letters, for example, 9333dcd0-681e-4840-a29c-801e502ae424.
Where to Find Job IDs
On the Web: Navigate to your member gallery and select the options (...) next to an image, then choose Copy followed by Job ID.
From the URL: The Job ID appears as the last segment in the URL when you're viewing an image in your Midjourney gallery.
https://www.midjourney.com/app/users/381590592095911946/?jobId=9333dcd0-681e-4840-a29c-801e502ae424.
From the File Name: When you download an image, the Job ID is included as the last part of the file name, like so: ReinaChen_A_pencil_drawing_of_a_house_in_the_middle_of_a_light__5b592c99-3b5d-4470-9385-214b852e321e
Using the 'Show' Command
To revive a previously generated image, use the /show <Job ID #> command in any Bot Channel.
This will bring back the associated image for you to view or further interact with.
Community Feed/Community Showcase
This secretion also known as the Midjourney Gallery, the Community Showcase is where all images generated by the community are displayed.
Community Showcase - Features for Non-Subscription Users
If you haven't subscribed to the service, you'll see the Community Showcase. Hovering over an image will reveal additional details, including parameters, prompts, time of generation, and the author's name.
Categories in the Showcase:
Recent: Showcases newly generated images in the community.
Top: Highlights the most popular images.
However, without a subscription, you are unable to perform actions such as sharing or downloading images.
Community Feed: For Subscribers
Subscribers will see a more comprehensive interface called the Community Feed, which is divided into two main sections: Exploration and Ranking Pairs.
Explore Section
Within 'Explore', the following categories are available:
Popular: Features images with a high engagement rate.
Rising: Highlights images that are gaining popularity.
New: Shows off the latest additions.
Top: Displays the highest-ranked images.
Favorites: Lists the images you've bookmarked.

Earn Free Fast Hours
Midjourney rewards the top 1,000 users who have ranked the most pairs the previous day with 1 Fast Hour. Securing this takes around 50 pair rankings or about 10 minutes of your time. This is a great value offer because a Fast Hour typically costs $4.
