How to "Steal" Any Image Style with AI (Consistency Guide)
Found a stunning illustration on Pinterest or Xiaohongshu and thought: "I wish I could make all my WeChat covers look like this"?
Good news. You no longer need to guess the prompts. Midjourney v6 has introduced powerful features to extract and copy styles instantly.
Method 1: The "Describe" Trick (For Prompts)
If you want to know the keywords describing an image style (e.g., "Cyberpunk", "Ukiyo-e"), use this method.
- Open Discord and type
/describe. - Upload your reference image.
- Midjourney will give you 4 detailed text descriptions.
- Copy the style keywords from the result and use them in your own prompts.
Method 2: Style Reference (The Pro Way)
This is the game-changer feature introduced in 2024. It copies the vibe, colors, and texture without copying the subject.
How to use it:
- --sref: Stands for "Style Reference". Paste the image link after this tag.
- --sw 100: Sets the "Style Weight" (0 to 1000). Higher number = stronger copy of the style.
Why is this useful for WeChat Creators?
- Brand Consistency: Use the same
--srefimage for all your article covers to build a recognizable brand. - Copy Trending Styles: See a popular 3D icon style? Just reference it. No need to learn 3D modeling.
