I spent time digging deep into each one of these and there are some absolute KILLERS in here—175+ to be exact. Something for everyone, too.

It was no easy feat.

But my labors are your gain.

For those who are new to using style codes, here are some common questions I get asked about them (answers below).

SREF codes are specific parameters used in Midjourney to apply preset styles to generated images. Each code corresponds to a particular visual effect or aesthetic, allowing creators to achieve consistent and unique styles without complex prompts.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝗥𝗘𝗙 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘀
To apply an SREF code, simply add it to your prompt when generating an image. For example: poster --sref 19961010

The --sref parameter followed by the code number will apply the corresponding style to your image.

𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗨𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗥𝗘𝗙 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘀
𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆: SREF codes help maintain a consistent style across multiple images.
𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆: They eliminate the need for lengthy, complex prompts to achieve specific styles.
𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: You can easily explore various styles by trying different codes.

𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗥𝗘𝗙 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘀
There are a few ways to discover SREF codes:
► Unlock them yourself by typing your prompt, followed by --sref random.
► Social channels like YouTube and X
► Community databases

The –sw (style weight) parameter determines how strongly the style reference affects the output. This parameter ranges from 0 to 1000, allowing you to fine-tune the extent to which the style is reflected in your results. With a default value of 100, increasing the style weight intensifies the influence of the style reference on your output.

I tend to use --sw 250 but you can absolutely go higher or lower, just my preference (tip: stay above --sw 100 when testing)

I want this!
