Midjourney Version 7 Update (Draft Mode & Voice Mode)

What if you could create AI images ten times faster, use half the GPU cost, and never even touch your keyboard?

That’s exactly what Midjourney V7 is bringing to the table with two new powerhouse features: Draft Mode and Voice Mode.

This isn’t some minor tweak. It’s a total creative shift for how you work with AI visuals.

What's New in Midjourney V7

Midjourney V7 comes with two new tools that are built to speed up your workflow, slash your costs, and make your creative process feel frictionless:

• Draft Mode – Create images ten times faster and use half the GPU resources.
• Voice Mode – Speak your prompts instead of typing them.

Now let’s walk through exactly how to use both of them to level up your image generation.

Draft Mode: Speed and Efficiency Without Sacrificing Creativity

If you’re constantly iterating on visuals or testing new ideas, Draft Mode is going to be your new favorite feature.

What is Draft Mode

Draft Mode allows you to generate images at a fraction of the time and cost.

It’s designed for speed and experimentation.

You can get rough versions of your prompts almost instantly, so you can test ideas before investing in final versions.

How to Turn on Draft Mode

1. Go to the Midjourney Web App at midjourney.com/app.
2. Click the Draft Mode lightning bolt icon in the prompt bar.
3. Enter your prompt and hit generate.

The result will be a lower-resolution draft that renders quickly and uses fewer resources.

From there, you can click Enhance or Vary to upscale it to full quality.

This is the fastest way to generate batches of concepts, find your favorite direction, and then polish the winner.

Voice Mode: Talk Your Ideas Into Reality

Voice Mode adds an entirely new layer to how you interact with Midjourney.

You don’t need to be a prompt engineer.

You just need to say what’s in your head.

What is Voice Mode

Voice Mode lets you speak your prompt instead of typing it.

It works hand-in-hand with Draft Mode, giving you a faster, more natural way to build your ideas.

How to Use Voice Mode

1. First, make sure Draft Mode is turned on.
2. Then click the microphone icon in the Imagine bar.
3. Speak your idea out loud and let Midjourney handle the rest.

Whether you're describing a dream-like landscape, a futuristic product design, or a photorealistic character, Voice Mode keeps the flow going.

You say it, Midjourney builds it.

Unlock Personalized Results with Global Profiles

Midjourney V7 also introduces a personalization feature that learns your creative preferences.

By rating around 200 image pairs, you unlock your own Global Personalization Profile.

This profile helps tailor every image you generate to your unique style, especially when using Draft Mode.

It makes the fast results more relevant and on-brand.

Why This Changes Everything

• Faster image generation means more ideas explored in less time.
• Lower GPU usage means more budget to experiment.
• Voice-based input makes creativity feel natural and frictionless.
• Drafts can be enhanced, upscaled, and perfected instantly.

This isn’t just an update. It’s a full-blown creative advantage.

And if you’re not using it, you’re already behind.

How to Get Started

Go to the Midjourney Web App, enable Draft Mode, and try Voice Mode for your next creation. Start with a quick idea, speak it out, and see how fast you can turn it into a high-quality image.
