Models / Ideogram 4.5

With each edit, leading image models introduce artifacts, pixel shifts, and color changes. Ideogram 4.5 eliminates artifact buildup, making multi-turn editing possible. Live in the Ideogram App, MCP, and the API in four quality modes at native 2K resolution.

Edit at any resolution

Edit high-resolution images without downsizing them. Ideogram 4.5 preserves the edges of an edited crop, so you can stitch it seamlessly back into the original. Create new colorways or fix a detail while keeping the rest of your image sharp and untouched—ready for close-ups and large-format print.

API

Build with Ideogram 4.5 through the API.

Ideogram 4.5 is available through two endpoints.

  • Generate creates new images from a prompt and up to 5 optional reference images.

  • Precise Edit changes part of an existing image while leaving the rest untouched.

Both endpoints offer four quality modes, so you can choose the right balance of cost and fidelity.

Price per image
Quality Generate(prompt only) Generate(with references) Precise Edit
Very low Not available $0.008 $0.008
Low $0.03 $0.03 $0.03
Medium $0.06 $0.06 $0.06
High $0.10 $0.22 $0.22

Each image has a fixed price. It does not change with prompt length, the number of reference images, or the output resolution, and no subscription is required.

Edit only what you want without artifact buildup.

Start with an image you love and tell Ideogram 4.5 what to change. Keep refining it over as many turns as you need, and the rest of your image stays intact.
