# Midjourney adds a 24-image big-batch draft mode in V8.1

By Steven Van · 2026-06-21

The job costs half as much as a Standard-res 4-image job, and "Vary" upscales any result to full resolution.

Midjourney has added a big-batch draft mode to **V8.1**: a job that generates 24 lower-resolution images for half the price of a Standard-res 4-image job. Pressing "Vary" on any result produces a full-resolution version.
