Pro Tips for Best Results

Be specific about what to change AND what to preserve — "keep the lighting natural".
Use Realistic style for fashion and portrait work, Fiction for creative/fantasy content.
Start with Turbo mode to test your prompt, then switch to Quality for the final version.
Describe outfit changes in detail — color, style, material, fit.
The model preserves facial identity well — focus your prompt on clothing and accessories.
Match aspect ratio to your intended platform: 1:1 for profiles, 9:16 for stories, 16:9 for banners.

Notes

If using a URL for the image, ensure it is publicly accessible. A preview thumbnail confirms successful loading.
The enable_base64_output option is only available through the API.
Processing time varies by rendering speed selection.
Enable Safety Checker for content that will be publicly shared.

Ideogram Character API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/ideogram-ai/ideogram-character with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to completed, then read the output URL from data.outputs[0]. Examples for Ideogram Character below.

HTTP example

# Submit the prediction
curl -X POST "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/ideogram-ai/ideogram-character" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "A cinematic shot of a city at sunset, soft golden light",
    "image": "https://example.com/your-input.jpg",
    "style": "Auto",
    "rendering_speed": "Default",
    "aspect_ratio": "1:1",
    "enable_base64_output": false
}'

# Response includes a prediction id. Poll for the result:
curl -X GET "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/predictions/{request_id}/result" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY"

# When status is "completed", read the output from data.outputs[0].

Node.js example

// npm install wavespeed
const WaveSpeed = require('wavespeed');

const client = new WaveSpeed(); // reads WAVESPEED_API_KEY from env

const result = await client.run("ideogram-ai/ideogram-character", {
        "prompt": "A cinematic shot of a city at sunset, soft golden light",
        "image": "https://example.com/your-input.jpg",
        "style": "Auto",
        "rendering_speed": "Default",
        "aspect_ratio": "1:1",
        "enable_base64_output": false
});

console.log(result.outputs[0]); // → URL of the generated output

Python example

# pip install wavespeed
import wavespeed

output = wavespeed.run(
    "ideogram-ai/ideogram-character",
    {
    "prompt": "A cinematic shot of a city at sunset, soft golden light",
    "image": "https://example.com/your-input.jpg",
    "style": "Auto",
    "rendering_speed": "Default",
    "aspect_ratio": "1:1",
    "enable_base64_output": false
}
)

print(output["outputs"][0])  # → URL of the generated output

Ideogram Character API — Frequently asked questions

What is the Ideogram Character API?

Ideogram Character is a Ideogram model for image editing, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Ideogram Character creates consistent characters from one reference image, in many styles, and supports inpainting to place the character into existing images. Ready-to-use REST API, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.

How do I call the Ideogram Character API?

POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to "completed", then read the output URL from the result. The playground generates a ready-to-paste code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for whatever inputs you've set. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/ideogram-ai/ideogram-ai-ideogram-character.

How much does Ideogram Character cost per run?

Ideogram Character starts at $0.15 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.

What inputs does Ideogram Character accept?

Key inputs: `prompt`, `image`, `aspect_ratio`, `enable_base64_output`, `rendering_speed`, `style`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/ideogram-ai/ideogram-ai-ideogram-character.

How long does Ideogram Character take to generate?

Average end-to-end generation time on WaveSpeedAI is around 17 seconds per request — measured across recent runs. Queue time scales with global demand; live status is visible in the prediction record.

Can I use Ideogram Character outputs commercially?

Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (Ideogram). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
