How to use it

  2. Paste the full prompt text after the image URL, adjusting pet type (dog/cat/rabbit) if needed.
  3. Review the 4-image grid and upscale (U1–U4) the strongest result.
  4. Use 'Vary (Subtle)' on the upscaled image to refine crown placement or lighting.
  5. Download at max resolution and share with caption: 'Sat for my portrait. No notes.'

Pro tips

  • Upload a clear, well-lit front-facing photo of your pet for the best likeness — avoid blurry or low-res shots.
  • Add --iw 1.5 in Midjourney to increase image weight and preserve your pet's face more faithfully.
  • Try swapping 'crimson curtains' for 'midnight blue velvet' to match your Instagram feed's color palette.
  • Generate 4 variations (default grid) and upscale the one with the sharpest eyes — eyes make or break pet portraits.
  • Use Midjourney's Vary (Subtle) on your best result to get minor refinements without losing the composition.
