Remix with Ideogram 4.0

Transform an existing image with Ideogram 4.0, guided by a text prompt. Upload the source image using multipart/form-data. Returns results directly by default; set async or supply a webhook_url to get a generation_id and poll GET /v2/generations/{generation_id}.

Authentication

Api-Keystring

API key for access control. Use in the header with the name "Api-Key"

Query parameters

dry_runbooleanOptionalDefaults to false

When true, the request is validated and priced but not run: nothing is generated, stored, or billed, and no safety review is performed. The response is a PriceQuote object instead of the usual response for this endpoint. Send exactly the request you would send to generate, so the quote reflects the same options.

Request

Use multipart/form-data to upload the source image.

promptstringRequired1-10000 characters

The prompt that guides the remix. It is always read as an editing instruction, so there is no magic_prompt option.

imagefileRequired

The image to transform (max 50MB). JPEG, PNG, and WEBP are supported. Multipart requests only. The uploaded image is saved to your account as the remix's source. Omit resolution to keep its shape.

image_weightintegerOptional1-100

Optional. How closely the result should follow the source image, from 1 to 100. When omitted the server chooses a value from your prompt, which is the usual case. Only accepted when the output keeps the source image's shape: combining image_weight with a resolution whose aspect ratio differs from the source's is rejected with a 400.

num_imagesintegerOptional1-8Defaults to 1
The number of images to generate.
resolutionenumOptional

Optional. When supplied, the images are generated at this resolution. When omitted, the source image's shape is kept. A resolution whose aspect ratio differs from the source's cannot be combined with image_weight.

rendering_speedenumOptionalDefaults to default
The rendering speed to use.
Allowed values:
asyncbooleanOptionalDefaults to false

When false (the default), the request waits until the images are ready and returns them in data. When true, the request returns as soon as it is accepted; poll for completion and results with GET /v2/generations/{generation_id} using the returned generation_id.

webhook_urlstringOptionalformat: "uri"<=2048 characters

HTTPS URL that Ideogram delivers the generated result to. Ideogram sends a JSON POST to this URL once all images for the request have finished generating. The body mirrors the synchronous generate response: request_id, created, and a data array containing every generated image (url, prompt, resolution, seed, is_image_safe). Each delivery is signed with Ed25519 and verifiable against the public keys at https://api.ideogram.ai/v1/.well-known/jwks.json. Must be HTTPS; private and loopback hosts and the cloud metadata service are rejected.

Response

The remixed images (synchronous requests), or an acknowledgement to poll with GET /v2/generations/{generation_id} (async requests).

generation_idstring

URL-safe base64 ID of the accepted generation. Accepted by the GET /v2/generations/{generation_id} polling endpoint.

seedinteger0-2147483647
Random seed. Set for reproducible generation.
datalist of objectsOptional

The remixed images, in generation order. Present only for synchronous requests (async omitted or false).
