StyleForger.com

It turns out most people simply don’t want to create an account - even a free one. And that’s fair. There’s no point investing time into features no one feels inclined to use.

I do receive a lot of traffic, though, and they can’t all be bots. So I’ve decided to simplify the site. Some features will step aside for now, especially those that rely on user accounts, like personal collections, style notes, favourites, galleries, and moodboards. A few of these may return later - favourites and moodboards in particular - once there’s a clearer need for them.

For now, you can browse by version, search by colour, search by keyword, or simply hit random and see what fate delivers.

And to those who are using the site and genuinely finding it helpful - thank you. Your support means more than you know.

StyleForger just got a gorgeous makeover! The main gallery now features a beautiful masonry style layout. Nicer hover effects and the boring pagination was replaced with a simple 'load more' option for smoother browsing. 

Grid is so last season :)

MidJourney has just opened up v7.0 for testing, and naturally, we dove right in to see how it would affect style reference codes (--sref). But after generating a few samples, it turns out... they’re virtually identical to v6.1 — at least for now.

That means no real style shift, no noticeable evolution, and certainly nothing worth rewriting our style grid over.

So, for the time being, StyleForger will continue using --v 6.1 for all future --sref uploads. If that changes, you’ll be the first to know. Stay sharp, stay styled.

I just added a new feature to StyleForger that makes it even easier to stay updated on your favorite curations. You can now subscribe to curations and get notified whenever new styles are added. If you’ve been following a particular collection and checking back manually, this should make things a lot smoother.

For now, this is limited to curations, but who knows—subscribing to user collections might be next. I’ll see how this goes and expand from there.

If you have feedback or ideas to improve this, let me know. StyleForger is always evolving, and this is just one more step toward making it more interactive and useful for everyone.

Check it out and start following your favourite curations!

Over the past year, StyleForger has grown into a powerful resource for MidJourney users, offering an extensive collection of curated styles. Now, I’m taking things a step further with the StyleForger App for macOS, a standalone tool designed to streamline prompt building and style selection.

What is the StyleForger App?

At its core, the StyleForger App is a MidJourney Prompt Builder that allows users to craft and refine prompts with precision. The app features:

A Style Browser, directly connected to StyleForger.com, allowing users to browse thousands of styles and instantly attach them to their prompts.

A MidJourney Parameter Editor, making it easy to tweak settings like chaos, stylize, aspect ratio, and quality.

Preset Templates for common use cases such as cinematic shots, hyperrealism, fantasy art, and more.

A one-click copy function, so users can paste their prompt directly into MidJourney and start generating.

Why Build This?

MidJourney offers incredible creative freedom, but structuring prompts efficiently can be a challenge. The StyleForger App removes that friction, allowing users to quickly select styles, fine-tune parameters, and improve their prompts—all from a polished macOS interface.

What's to come?

Store your prompts and create a prompt database. Upload your best image so you can always check back later and improve

A lot of work. so stay tuned for more. 

Why are there fewer styles than yesterday?

I mentioned in an earlier post that 'some' styles were created with a different prompt and resulted in poor image. Since I now added a 'search by colour' option, some of the results were quite poor, which left me no choice but to delete all bad styles. Turns out there were quite a few more than just 'some'.

Hey everyone! I'm really excited to share a new feature I've been working on: Dropzone Image Search.

This tool lets you drag and drop an image to search for styles that match its colour palette. Whether you're an artist, designer, or just looking for some creative inspiration, this feature is designed to make your life a little easier.

Here's how it works:

Drop an Image: Just drag your image into the dropzone area.

Colour Analysis: The system will automatically pick out key colours from your image.

Matching Styles: You’ll get a selection of styles that share similar colours to help spark new ideas.

I built this because I know how helpful it can be to find styles that match a specific visual reference. It’s great for those moments when you have an idea in your head but need the right palette to pull it all together.

Give the Dropzone Feature a try and see what styles you can discover! As always, it's free. All you need is an account. 

I'm thrilled to announce the launch of Moodboards, a brand-new feature on StyleForger designed to spark creativity and inspire your next artistic journey.

What Are Moodboards?

Moodboards are curated collections of images that bring together styles, themes, and aesthetics to fuel your imagination. Whether you're looking for fresh ideas or simply want to immerse yourself in creative possibilities, moodboards provide a visually cohesive way to explore different artistic concepts.

For a detailed look at the power of moodboards, check out this great explanation.

Explore My Curated Moodboards

The current collection of moodboards has been carefully crafted by me, showcasing some of my favorite styles and creative inspirations. Head over to the new Moodboards section to explore them. Each moodboard offers a glimpse into different visual narratives, complete with unique themes and perspectives.

Coming Soon: User-Created Moodboards

This is just the beginning! In the near future, logged-in users will be able to create and share their own moodboards on StyleForger. Imagine collaborating with a community of like-minded creatives, where everyone contributes to a rich tapestry of artistic exploration.

I can’t wait to see how you make this feature your own. Until then, dive into my curated moodboards and let your creativity soar!

Sometimes, you just have to roll up your sleeves and make some changes under the hood. When I first created this page, I hastily dumped everything into the root directory and hoped for the best. Spoiler alert: it didn’t work out quite as planned. Shocking, I know. But with the help of a shiny new maintenance mode, I finally took the time to sort everything into neat, organised sections—exactly how I should have done it from the start. 🥳

...Because Not Everyone Lives in the Shadows

We’re thrilled to announce that you can now choose between basking in our new super-bright Light Mode or sticking with the classic Dark Mode you know and love. Once logged in, you can browse, collect, and archive styles in the mode that suits your vibe. Whether you’re a night owl or a daylight enthusiast, the power is in your hands!

Stay stylish (and appropriately illuminated),

The StyleForger Team
