Niji V7 Character Consistency Guide

Since CREF isn't available in Niji V7, here's how to maintain character consistency across multiple generations.

📝

1. Create a Character Bible

Document every detail: hair color and style, eye shape and color, distinctive features, clothing details, accessories. Be extremely specific.

🔒

2. Lock in SREF Code

Find or create an SREF code that matches your character's aesthetic. Use this same code for all generations of that character.

📋

3. Use Template Prompts

Create a base prompt template with all character details. Copy and modify only the pose/action/scene for each generation.

🔄

4. Regenerate Consistently

Use the same seed when possible. Generate multiple versions and select the most consistent ones for your project.

Example Character Template for Niji V7:

[CHARACTER NAME], young woman with long silver hair in twin tails, bright amber eyes with star-shaped pupils, wearing a black and gold sailor uniform, red ribbon choker, silver star earrings, [ACTION/POSE], [BACKGROUND], anime screenshot style --niji 7 --sref [YOUR_CODE] --ar 3:4

Niji V7 FAQ

Everything you need to know about Niji V7, answered.

Niji V7 is the latest anime-focused AI image generation model from Midjourney, released on January 9, 2026. It's developed in collaboration with Spellbrush and represents the most significant upgrade in 1.5 years, featuring crystal-clear details, improved coherency, literal prompt understanding, and enhanced linework aesthetics.

You can access Niji V7 in two ways: In Discord, add --niji 7 at the end of your prompt. On the Midjourney web interface, select "Niji 7" from the Version dropdown menu. You need an active Midjourney subscription to use Niji V7.

No, CREF is not currently supported in Niji V7. The official team has announced they are working on "something super special" as a replacement that they believe users will prefer over the old cref functionality. In the meantime, use detailed character descriptions and SREF codes for consistency.

Niji V7 interprets prompts more literally than V6. "Vibes-y" or abstract prompts may not produce expected results. To adapt: be more specific and descriptive, use concrete terms instead of mood words, and add structure to your prompts (subject + environment + style + composition).

Niji V7 is specifically optimized for anime and illustrative styles, developed with Spellbrush. Midjourney V7 is the general-purpose model. For anime art, Niji V7 produces better linework, more authentic anime aesthetics, and superior coherency for anime-style characters and scenes.

The best Niji V7 prompts are specific and literal. Use structure like: [Subject description] + [Environment] + [Style keywords] + [Composition/camera angle] + [Parameters]. Effective keywords include "anime screenshot", "minimalist graphic logo", "90s anime", "cel-shaded", and specific artist style references.

Commercial use rights depend on your Midjourney subscription tier. If your company's annual revenue exceeds $1 million, you need a Pro or Mega plan for commercial use. Also note that if you upscale someone else's image, the rights remain with the original creator. Always check the latest Terms of Service.

SREF codes may produce different results in Niji V7 compared to V6. If you need to use legacy style codes, add --sv 4 to use V4-era styling. For best results, test your existing codes and create new ones optimized for V7's capabilities.
