Async Workflow
This model uses asynchronous execution. Submit a request and poll for the result.
- Submit — POST to /v1/run, receive an
id - Poll — GET /v1/run/{id} until status is
completed,failed, ortimeout - Retrieve — Read
outputsfrom the completed response

Ideogram V3 Reframe
ideogram-ai/ideogram-v3/reframe expands or recomposes an existing image for a new aspect ratio while preserving its important subject and visual intent. Ideogram V3 Reframe generates plausible content beyond the original boundaries and adjusts composition so the result feels authored for the new canvas rather than merely padded. This combination makes the model a practical choice when the creative outcome depends on those qualities rather than on a generic media conversion.
For production work with ideogram-ai/ideogram-v3/reframe, it suits adapting campaign art, posters, product visuals, and social assets across wide, square, and portrait placements without rebuilding every version. The result is most reliable when the source material and creative brief clearly describe the intended subject, progression, visual or sonic character, and the qualities that must remain unchanged.
Highlights
Generative reframing adapts an existing image to a different canvas and aspect ratio.
Content-aware expansion creates plausible scenery and detail beyond the original boundaries.
Subject preservation keeps important people, products, text, and style recognizable.
Composition adaptation rebalances placement so the new format feels intentionally designed.
Pricing
| Rendering speed | Price per image |
|---|---|
| Turbo | $0.030 |
| Balanced | $0.060 |
| Quality | $0.090 |
When to Use
| ✅ Good fit | ❌ Consider alternatives |
|---|---|
| The model's named workflow matches the source material and intended output | A different input modality or model route is required |
| A managed asynchronous result is suitable for the production pipeline | A synchronous, interactive editor is essential |
| The documented controls cover the required duration, framing, or format | The project needs controls outside this endpoint's schema |
| Creative iteration benefits from a repeatable request structure | Exact deterministic pixels, frames, geometry, or samples are mandatory |
| A finished downloadable media asset is the desired deliverable | Editable source layers or a native project file are required |
Prompt Guide
For image-conditioned generation, state the intended result first, then add the subject or source treatment, progression, style, and delivery constraints. Keep one creative variable per phrase, use the documented field names for controls, and change one setting at a time when comparing results.
