images-generate

Generate images with Ideogram 3.0 from a text prompt

Generate one or more images from a text prompt with Ideogram 3.0, with optional style controls: style codes, a style preset, a color palette, or style references. Supply style references as a saved style (style_reference_collection_id), as style_reference_asset_identifiers references (images already stored with Ideogram), or as raw style_reference_images bytes (multipart requests only). These three style reference forms cannot be combined.

By default the request blocks until the images are ready and returns them in data. Set async to true to return immediately after the request is accepted, then poll for completion and results with GET /v1/generations/{generation_id} using the returned generation_id.

Supplying a webhook_url makes the request asynchronous whatever async says: the response returns as soon as the request is accepted, and the finished result is POSTed to that URL.

Request body

promptstring required

The prompt to generate images from.

negative_promptstring

Description of what to exclude from the images. Descriptions in the prompt take precedence over descriptions in the negative prompt.

seedinteger

Random seed. Set for reproducible generation.

The resolutions supported for Ideogram 3.0.

aspect_ratio'1x3' | '3x1' | '1x2' | '2x1' | '9x16' | '16x9' | '10x16' | '16x10' | '2x3' | '3x2' | '3x4' | '4x3' | '4x5' | '5x4' | '1x1'

The aspect ratio to use for image generation, which determines the image's resolution. Cannot be used in conjunction with resolution. Defaults to 1x1.

rendering_speed'FLASH' | 'TURBO' | 'BALANCED' | 'DEFAULT' | 'QUALITY'

The rendering speed to use.

magic_prompt'AUTO' | 'ON' | 'OFF'

Determine if MagicPrompt should be used in generating the request or not.

num_imagesinteger

The number of images to generate.

style_codesStyleCode[]

A list of 8-character hexadecimal codes representing the style of the image. Refer to each endpoint for supported combinations with style types, presets, and reference images.

The style type to generate with.

A predefined style preset that applies a specific artistic style to the generated image.

style_reference_collection_idstring

A saved style to apply, by its URL-safe base64 collection id. Cannot be combined with style_reference_asset_identifiers or style_reference_images.

style_reference_collection_version_idstring

Optional URL-safe base64 version id pinning a specific version of the style_reference_collection_id collection. Ignored without it.

style_reference_imagesstring[]

Images to use as style references (max 10, max size 25MB per image), as raw bytes; only JPEG, PNG, and WEBP formats are supported. Multipart requests only; cannot be combined with style_reference_collection_id or style_reference_asset_identifiers.

enable_copyright_detectionboolean nullable

Optional. Opt this request into post-generation copyright detection. Adds detection latency; flagged images come back with is_image_safe: false.

asyncboolean

When false (the default), the request blocks 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 /v1/generations/{generation_id} using the returned generation_id.

webhook_urlstring uri

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.

privateboolean nullable

When true or omitted, the output is kept private to your account. Set to false to publish the output to the public feed. Enterprise accounts always generate privately.

target_collection_idstring

A collection you can write to, by its URL-safe base64 collection id. The output images are added to it when the request completes.
