Ideogram capabilities
10 mapped capabilities, each graded and dated. The map shows what Ideogram can do; the audit shows whether it’s worth consolidating — and a guide shows how to move.
Capabilities
Batch generation via CSV upload
provisionalverified ~2 months agoProcesses a spreadsheet of image-generation prompts in a single upload, running jobs in the background and delivering results as a ZIP download.
Canvas with Magic Fill (inpainting) and Extend (outpainting)
provisionalverified ~2 months agoCanvas is an infinite creative board for composing, generating, and editing images. Magic Fill lets users mask a region and replace or add content via a text prompt. Extend expands an image beyond its original borders while preserving style consistency.
Character Consistency (single-photo identity preservation)
provisionalverified ~2 months agoGenerates images where a specific person or character maintains facial identity across different poses, outfits, and environments from a single reference photo. Marketed as a free AI headshot generator.
Developer API (REST)
provisionalverified ~2 months agoA public REST API for programmatic image generation, editing, and manipulation. Exposes Ideogram 3.0 model family (current primary API model), with operations including Generate, Remix, Edit, Reframe, Replace Background, Face Swap, Upscale, Describe, and Remove Background. Earlier model versions (2.x, 1.x) also selectable via API value constants.
Image upscaling (2x resolution enhancement)
provisionalverified ~2 months agoEnlarges generated or uploaded images up to 2x their original resolution with AI-driven detail synthesis. Adjustable Resemblance (1–100) and Detail (1–100) sliders control fidelity vs. creative enhancement.
Style References and Style Codes
provisionalverified ~2 months agoUsers upload up to 3 reference images to guide the aesthetic (color, texture, composition) of new generations without reusing specific content. Generated styles can be saved as a reusable Style Code. A Random style option draws from a library of 4.3 billion presets.
Subscription plans, credits, and commercial rights
provisionalverified ~2 months agoIdeogram offers a Free tier plus paid plans (Basic, Plus, Pro) and a Team plan. Across all tiers — free users included — Ideogram does not restrict users' rights in their generated output, and commercial use is permitted (per its Terms of Service: 'we do not restrict your rights in your outputs').
Text-to-image generation
provisionalverified ~2 months agoConverts a natural-language text prompt into images using Ideogram's diffusion-based models. The current web-app flagship is Ideogram 4.0 (optimized for prompt fidelity, text rendering, editing capabilities, and design-quality outputs). The prior Ideogram 3.0 generation led human-preference evaluations (ELO 1132 vs Imagen3 1023, Flux Pro 998) for photorealism, prompt adherence, and text rendering, and remains selectable (V_3_1 = latest, V_3_0 = March 26 variant).
Typography and text rendering in images
provisionalverified ~2 months agoGenerates images with legible, stylized embedded text — Ideogram's core differentiator over competing image generators. Ideogram self-reports ~95% text accuracy (independent testing puts it nearer 90%); the Ideogram 4.0 model scores 0.97 on the X-Omni English OCR benchmark. Handles logos, posters, book covers, social graphics, and complex multi-word compositions.
