API request and parameters

Use images:generate on your API key. This configuration runs image to image and returns image/jpeg.

Upload an image using the same API key, then replace YOUR_UPLOADED_ASSET_ID. Input upload example. Choose a different configuration ID to change the workflow or output settings. Send only options listed below.

This configuration has no additional request options.

Replace the prompt and set a unique MELDPORT_IDEMPOTENCY_KEY for this operation. The example quotes the request and then creates one paid job. Read the billing rules before accepting variable charges.

About this model

Ideogram 4.5 is Ideogram's image generation and editing model, built for iterative work that keeps untouched regions intact across repeated edits. It generates images from text at 1K and 2K presets, and edits a source image using up to four more images as references, with an optional mask to limit where changes land. It suits product imagery, campaign variations, interior restyling, and pose changes guided by a skeleton reference.
