Input Schema

5 parameters · 2 required · 3 optional

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`image`	string	Required	The image URL to upscale
`prompt`	string	Required	The prompt to upscale the image with · Default: ""
`seed`	integer	Optional	Seed for the random number generator
`detail`	integer	Optional	The detail of the upscaled image · Min: 1 · Max: 100 · Default: 50

Output Schema

Field	Type	Description
`id`	string	Unique identifier for the generation task
`status`	string	Task status: pending, running, completed, failed, timeout
`model`	string	Model used for the generation
`outputs`	array	Array of output items
`outputs[].url`	string	URL of the generated artifact
`outputs[].content_type`	string	MIME type (e.g. image/png, video/mp4)

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, or timeout
Retrieve — Read outputs from the completed response

API README

Ideogram Upscale

upscale in the Ideogram lineup is built to increase useful image detail while preserving the original composition. The ideogram upscale 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/upscale, 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

Detail-aware enlargement. Adds plausible fine structure while increasing useful presentation size.

Composition preservation. Retains source subjects, framing, and visual identity during enhancement.

Texture refinement. Improves surfaces, edges, and local clarity without recreating the scene from scratch.

ideogram upscale finishing-stage utility. Prepares selected concepts for larger exports, sharper previews, and downstream layout work. This is the defining creative strength of the ideogram upscale configuration.

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.
