Niji 7
Niji 7 emphasizes clear line work, consistent small features, and literal prompt interpretation. Its default appearance uses flatter forms than the preceding release.
What the release provides
The January 2026 release supports style references. It does not support the older Character Reference control. The model's design emphasizes coherent drawing with fewer distracting details.Niji 7 release
How to use it well
Practical guidance. Name the background and supporting objects when they matter. For a recurring character, describe the features that distinguish that character instead of relying on a broad style phrase.
Explicit scene details change the composition
The Niji 7 guide explains that short prompts can produce fewer supporting elements than Niji 6. It recommends specifying the scene elements you want, rather than expecting the model to add them.Niji 7 prompting guide
