8 parameters · 2 required · 6 optional
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
image | string | Required | URL of the input image for image-to-image generation. |
prompt | string | Required | The prompt to generate an image from. |
seed | integer | Optional | The seed to use for generation. If not provided, a random seed will be used. |
strength | number | Optional | How much to transform the input image. 1.0 ignores the input image entirely; lower values stay closer to it. · Min: 0 · Max: 1 · Default: 0.8 |
aspect_ratio | string | Optional | The aspect ratio of the generated image. · Options: 21:9, 16:9, 3:2, 4:3, 5:4, 1:1, 4:5, 3:4, 2:3, 9:16 21:916:93:24:35:41:14:53:42:39:16 |
output_format | string | Optional | The format of the generated image. · Options: jpeg, png · Default: "jpeg" jpegpng |
expansion_model | string | Optional | Which model expands the prompt. 'None' disables prompt expansion and skips its fee; 'Medium' is fast; 'Large' uses Ideogram's Magic Prompt for the highest quality. · Options: None, Medium, Large · Default: "Medium" NoneMediumLarge |
rendering_speed | string | Optional | The rendering speed to use. Faster speeds use fewer denoising steps. · Options: TURBO, BALANCED, QUALITY · Default: "BALANCED" TURBOBALANCEDQUALITY |
Output Schema
| Field | Type | Description |

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) |
error | object | null | Error details if failed, null on success |
error.type | string | Machine-readable error type code |
error.message | string | Human-readable error description |
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
