Midjourney Character Avatar Prompt for Social Profiles (Copy-Paste)

Profile images are a composition problem first and a style problem second. A front-facing, shoulders-up crop with a clean background will outperform a beautiful but cluttered portrait every time.

This prompt locks the crop and the backdrop so the face stays centered and legible even at 48 pixels.

A stylized character portrait of a calm young woman with short black bob and round glasses, front facing, shoulders up, soft studio lighting, clean pastel lavender background, semi-realistic digital painting, smooth shading, expressive eyes, centered composition --ar 1:1 --niji 6

How to Maximize the Results

  • Model Version: --niji 6 delivers the illustrated look. Switch to --v 6.0 --style raw if you need a photographic result instead.
  • Aspect Ratio: --ar 1:1 is required for nearly every social platform. --ar 4:5 works for professional network headshots.
  • Customization: Adjust hair, eyewear, and the background color freely, but keep front facing, shoulders up, centered composition intact to preserve the crop.
