What is Ideogram?

Ideogram is a generative media platform for creating and refining visual assets. Its creative workspace combines image generation, editing, and purpose-built apps for tasks such as background removal, object removal, ad resizing, color variations, and material changes. Ideogram 4.0 and 4.5 support prompt-based creation, readable text within images, and iterative editing.

Users can work in the visual workspace, while developers can integrate image and video models through a shared API. The API combines authentication and billing across models and lets developers switch models by changing the model identifier. An MCP connection also lets compatible assistants, including Claude and Cursor, use Ideogram within agent workflows.

Paid subscriptions provide monthly priority credits, private generation, unlimited slow credits, and access to image and video models. Higher tiers add batch generation or team administration. Enterprise options include custom models trained on company visual data, custom SSO, legal indemnification, and dedicated support. Credit consumption varies by model and rendering settings.
