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

Ideogram V3 Transparent
transparent in the Ideogram lineup is built to create an isolated image subject with a transparent background. The ideogram v3 transparent configuration combines that transformation with the quality and motion profile represented by this exact model version, so teams can choose it deliberately among adjacent family variants. It is useful when the input already establishes part of the creative intent and the model must supply a polished result rather than a generic media conversion, with subject identity, scene logic, visual hierarchy, and the delivery goal kept explicit.
For production work with ideogram-ai/ideogram-v3/transparent, begin with the non-negotiable content, then describe the desired change, framing, action, atmosphere, and finishing cues in that order. Separate what must remain recognizable from what may vary, and prefer concrete nouns and observable actions over abstract praise. That structure makes outputs easier to compare across storyboard passes, campaign variants, catalog assets, and other repeatable creative pipelines.
Highlights
Native transparent output. Produces an isolated subject ready for layering without a second removal pass.
Clean edge treatment. Resolves difficult boundaries such as hair, fabric, product contours, and soft detail against alpha.
Typography-aware isolation. Keeps lettering and graphic marks legible in logos, labels, stickers, and design elements.
ideogram v3 transparent creative subject generation. Creates the asset itself rather than merely cutting an existing photograph from its background. This is the defining creative strength of the ideogram v3 transparent configuration.
Pricing
| Rendering mode | Price per image |
|---|---|
| TURBO | $0.030 |
| BALANCED | $0.060 |
| QUALITY | $0.090 |
Billing follows params.rendering_speed == "TURBO" ? 0.03 : params.rendering_speed == "QUALITY" ? 0.09 : 0.06.
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 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.
