Midjourney Commercial Use: Can You Sell Midjourney Images?
Yes — images made on a paid Midjourney plan can be used commercially. The main condition is company size: a business with more than $1 million in annual gross revenue needs the Pro or Mega plan. There is no free Midjourney plan, so every commercial user is on at least Basic at $10 a month.
Here is which plan you need, and one important catch about copyright.
Which Midjourney plan you need for commercial use
| Plan | Price per month | Commercial use | Stealth Mode |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $10 | Yes, if revenue under $1M | No |
| Standard | $30 | Yes, if revenue under $1M | No |
| Pro | $60 | Yes, any size | Yes |
| Mega | $120 | Yes, any size | Yes |
Prices are Midjourney's US monthly rates; annual billing is 20% cheaper. Check Midjourney's current terms before commercial use. Full detail in the Midjourney price guide.
The copyright catch
Being allowed to use an image commercially is not the same as owning a copyright you can enforce. In the United States, purely AI-generated images generally cannot be registered for copyright, because protection requires meaningful human authorship.
In practice that means you can use Midjourney images in ads, thumbnails, products and client work, but you may not be able to stop someone else from copying an unedited image. Substantial human editing or combining the image into a larger original work strengthens your position.
This is a general summary, not legal advice. For anything high-value, such as a logo or product packaging, it is worth checking with a lawyer.
Why Stealth Mode matters for client work
On Basic and Standard, your generations appear in Midjourney's public gallery. Anyone can see them, including prompts for unreleased products or client campaigns.
Stealth Mode, available on Pro and Mega, keeps generations private. For agencies and freelancers working under NDA, that alone can justify Pro even for small businesses.
Choosing the right plan
Personal or small business under $1M: Basic or Standard are fine commercially. Standard adds unlimited Relax mode.
Client work under NDA: Pro, for Stealth Mode.
Business over $1M revenue: Pro or Mega is required.
