Batch Workflows

Use batch prompts efficiently

4 min read

After generating prompts in PromptAnvil, the next step is using them effectively in AI platforms. This guide shows you how to work with batch outputs in Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and other tools.

Using with Midjourney

Discord Batch Method

Midjourney requires prompts to be submitted individually via Discord. While there's no official batch feature, automation tools can help speed up the process.

Step-by-step:

  1. 1.Export prompts from PromptAnvil as plain text
  2. 2.Copy prompts to clipboard (one per line)
  3. 3.In Discord, type /imagine prompt: and paste each prompt
  4. 4.For automation, consider browser extensions or unofficial API tools (note: these are third-party and not officially supported)

Pro Tip: Midjourney has rate limits—wait 10-15 seconds between prompts to avoid being temporarily blocked. Use --fast or --relax mode based on your subscription. Fast mode processes 3-4 jobs simultaneously.

Using with Stable Diffusion

Automatic1111 / ComfyUI

Stable Diffusion UIs support native batch processing from text files.

For Automatic1111:

  1. 1.Export prompts as .txt file (one prompt per line)
  2. 2.Go to txt2img tab in WebUI
  3. 3.Enable "Prompt from file" script
  4. 4.Upload your .txt file and click Generate

For ComfyUI:

  1. 1.Use the "Load Lines From Text File" node
  2. 2.Connect to your CLIP Text Encode node
  3. 3.Set batch count and run queue

Best Practices

Start Small

Generate 5-10 prompts first to test your configuration. Adjust weights and logic before creating large batches.

Organize Outputs

Name your exports clearly (e.g., "portraits-dramatic-v1.txt"). This helps track which configuration produced which results.

Monitor Costs

For paid platforms like Midjourney, track how many prompts you submit. Batch generation can consume credits quickly.

Use JSON for Advanced Workflows

Export as JSON if you need metadata like weights, category info, or want to build custom automation scripts.
