Create an imageWhat Midjourney is
Midjourney is an independent research lab in San Francisco and the image model of the same name. You generate on its website or through a Discord bot. The model is updated regularly, the current default in the docs is V8.2, with personalization to your taste and an edit model.
Midjourney can also animate an image into a 5 second video, using the image as the first frame.
Why Midjourney is awkward from Russia
Midjourney runs on a paid subscription, and since 2022 international cards issued by Russian banks fail abroad. You need a foreign card or a reseller. The interface, docs and community are in English.

How Solistra is different
Instead of one model you pick the right one for the job. FLUX and Seedream for photorealism, Nano Banana for editing with a sentence and references, Ideogram and GPT Image for posters with text, Recraft for logos and icons. If you would rather not choose, Auto picks a model for you.
Every generation shows its credit price on the button before you run it. You can then animate the image in Video, remove the background in the photo studio or drop it into a Design template.
When to stay with Midjourney
If you want Midjourney’s distinctive look, have tuned your personalization and pay with a foreign card, there is no need to switch. Other models do not reproduce that style, and you would have to approach it with prompts and references.
