Native transparent background output Generates images with a clean alpha channel in a single step — no post-processing or background removal required.
-
Multiple rendering speed tiers Choose between flash, turbo, balanced, or quality to balance speed and output fidelity based on your workflow needs.
-
Flexible aspect ratios Supports multiple orientations for any platform or design format.
-
Strong prompt adherence Ideogram V3 delivers accurate text rendering and detailed scene composition from natural language descriptions.
-
Prompt Enhancer Built-in tool to automatically improve your text descriptions for richer results.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| prompt | Yes | Text description of the image subject, style, and mood. |
| aspect_ratio | No | Output aspect ratio. Default: 1:1. |
| rendering_speed | No | Generation speed and quality tier: flash, turbo, balanced (default), or quality. |
How to Use
- Write your prompt — describe the subject, style, and visual details. Use the Prompt Enhancer for better results.
- Select aspect ratio — choose the format that fits your target design or platform.
- Select rendering_speed — flash or turbo for fastest output, balanced for standard use, quality for highest fidelity.
- Submit — download your transparent PNG image ready for compositing.
Pricing
| Rendering Speed | Cost per Image |
|---|---|
| flash | $0.03 |
| turbo | $0.03 |
| balanced | $0.06 |
| quality | $0.09 |
Best Use Cases
- Graphic Design & Compositing — Generate isolated subjects ready to place directly into any background or layout.
- Product Photography — Create clean product images on transparent backgrounds for e-commerce and marketing.
- Stickers & Overlays — Produce illustration and character assets for social media, messaging, and streaming overlays.
- Print & Merchandise — Generate transparent artwork for apparel, packaging, and print-on-demand workflows.
- UI & App Design — Create icons, illustrations, and visual elements with clean edges for digital interfaces.
Pro Tips
- Describe the subject clearly and avoid mentioning backgrounds — the model will handle transparency automatically.
- Use quality mode for detailed illustrations or fine-textured subjects where edge accuracy matters most.
- Use flash or turbo for rapid iteration when testing prompt directions before a final quality render.
- Include style cues like “watercolor”, “vector illustration”, or “3D render” to control the visual treatment of the transparent subject.
Notes
