Let me help you understand how to quickly locate your Midjourney seed number – it’s simpler than you might think, and incredibly useful for recreating your favorite AI-generated images.
What is a Midjourney Seed Number?
Think of a seed number as your image’s unique DNA code. It’s a special identifier that Midjourney uses to remember exactly how it created your specific image. When you use the same prompt and seed number combination, you’ll get identical results every time – pretty cool, right?
Finding Your Seed Number
Step 1: Locate Your Image
First, find the image you want to check in your Midjourney Discord channel. It could be in your DMs with the Midjourney bot or in any channel where you’ve generated images.
Step 2: Click the Envelope Icon
Look for the little envelope icon ( ) beneath your image – this is your golden ticket! When you click it, you’ll see the complete prompt information appear, including all the parameters used to create your image.
Step 3: Look for “Seed:”
In the expanded information, you’ll find “Seed:” followed by a number. This is your unique seed number! It’s usually a long string of digits, something like “1234567890”.
Why Seed Numbers Matter
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve generated something amazing and wished I could recreate it exactly. That’s where seed numbers become your best friend. By saving this number along with your prompt, you can:
– Recreate identical images later
– Share exact parameters with other artists
– Experiment with slight prompt variations while keeping the basic structure
– Build a library of your favorite generations
Pro Tips for Working with Seeds
Here’s something I’ve learned from experience: always save your seed numbers for your favorite generations. I keep a simple spreadsheet where I paste prompts and their corresponding seeds. This has saved me countless hours of trying to recreate that “perfect” image.
And here’s a little-known trick: you can actually use someone else’s seed number with your own prompt to see how Midjourney interprets different text with the same seed. It’s fascinating to see how the same seed creates different but somehow related images across various prompts.
Remember, as of 2025, Midjourney continues to evolve, but seed numbers remain a constant, reliable way to maintain consistency in your AI art generation. Whether you’re a professional artist or just exploring AI art for fun, understanding how to find and use seed numbers will make your Midjourney experience much more productive and enjoyable.
