Anyone can try Midjourney for free (no Discord required)
Anyone can try Midjourney for free (no Discord required)
Midjourney is now available to everyone, with the Midjourney website available to anyone, whether they’re a new or returning user. And if you sign up quickly, you can even get a limited-time free trial to create AI art.
Midjourney is now available to everyone without Discord
For most of its existence, Midjourney has been limited to Discord, with anyone interested in the AI art generator needing to sign up for Discord before they could use Midjourney. This is considered a beta version of the AI image creation software.
Midjourney launched its alpha site in December 2023, VentureBeat reported. However, the company initially limited access to existing users who had created 10,000 or more images, meaning the site was unavailable to most people.
The Midjourney site is now available to anyone who wants to use it. Even new users who just signed up. And you don't have to go through Discord to try it out.
You can still sign up through Discord, but you don't have to, since Google is now an option. And if you're quick, Midjourney even lets you create some images for free without having to pay a dime.
Free trial for those who sign up quickly
If you sign up with your Google account, you'll immediately get access to create 25 free images. That's a huge deal.

You can then start creating AI art to your liking (at least temporarily) with a series of prompts. The results are extremely impressive, especially after some tinkering. It’s understandable why many people love using Midjourney to create AI art and are tempted to pay for the privilege.
Other AI image generators available (and free)
The great thing is that Midjourney is available to anyone who wants to use it. And if you can sign up to start using it while the free trial is still available, you won't even have to pay anything.
The problem that Midjourney faces, however, and perhaps the reason why access is being opened up this way, is the level of competition that exists. Not only are there plenty of other AI art generators available, many are free to use. And while they may not be as powerful as Midjourney, for free it’s hard to beat.
However, if you can snag a free trial of Midjourney while it's still available, you can do so. You'll have to be quick, though, as Midjourney makes it clear that this is a temporary offer.
