Midjourney Character Counter
Midjourney prompts have a hard 6,000 character cap, but words beyond roughly 60 carry rapidly diminishing influence. Check your prompt length here before you run /imagine.

About this tool
Midjourney technically accepts prompts up to 6,000 characters, but that's not the number that actually matters for image quality: once a prompt passes roughly 60 words, additional words have progressively less influence on the final composition.
This counter shows both numbers at once — your raw character count against Midjourney's hard limit, and clear guidance on whether you're in the effective sweet spot, the diminishing-returns zone, or over the hard cap entirely.
For best results, put your most important subject, style and lighting details in the first 40–60 words, and use the ––ar parameter (generate one instantly with our Aspect Ratio Calculator) rather than describing dimensions in prose.
Frequently asked questions
What is Midjourney's maximum prompt length?
Midjourney's hard limit is 6,000 characters. Prompts longer than that will be rejected.
How long should a Midjourney prompt actually be?
Most experienced users recommend staying around 60 words or fewer, since Midjourney's natural language processing gives diminishing weight to words beyond that point.
Does Midjourney count words or characters?
Midjourney enforces a hard character cap (6,000), but the more practically important guidance is word-based: roughly the first 60 words carry the most influence.
