Remix

Make variations of an image, or restyle a photo in a new style or setting, in the Remix app or inside Studio.

Remix makes variations of an image you already have. Your prompt says what should change, and the source image holds the layout, subject and colors in place. Use it when you like an image but want a new take on it, such as a different style or setting.

The Remix app

Open it

  • On an image page, open More options and choose Remix under Use.

  • Right-click an image, or open its … menu in Assets, and choose Remix.

  • Open Apps and search for Remix.

Settings

  • Model: Auto, Ideogram 4.0 or Ideogram 3.0. Auto is the default and picks for you.

  • Source image: the one image you remix.

  • Prompt: starts with the source image's prompt, so you only change the parts you want. The Describe button writes a prompt from the image, which helps with uploads.

  • Strength: Auto is on by default. Turn it off to show a slider from 1 to 100 (default 50). "Higher strength keeps more of your source image."

  • Number of images: 1 to 8, default 4.

  • Render speed (Ideogram 3.0 only, under Advanced): Default on paid plans, Turbo on the free plan.

Run it

1

Under Source image, click + Add to upload a picture or choose one you already have.

On paid plans, your remixes stay private until you publish one from its image page. On the free plan, they're public.

Remix in Studio

Remix inside Studio needs a paid plan. It works on the whole canvas or on one image layer.

Remix the whole canvas

  1. Click an empty spot so nothing is selected.

  2. Choose Remix in the right sidebar.

  3. Write your prompt in "Describe your remix...".

  4. Set Count (1 to 4).

  5. Click Generate.

    Studio right sidebar with nothing selected and the Remix tool highlighted, showing the Describe your remix box, Count set to 1 and the Generate button.
    With nothing selected, open Remix, describe the change and click Generate.

Each run adds a new version to the version strip, so your original stays put. A Strength slider (0 to 100, default 50) appears only when Studio isn't using Auto.

Remix one image layer

  1. Select the layer.

  2. Choose Remix under Tools.

  3. Describe the change.

  4. Click Generate.

You get one result, and it replaces that layer. There is no strength slider on desktop.

Tips on strength

  • Start with Auto. It works well for most prompts.

  • Want the result to look close to the source, with small changes in color or detail? Turn Auto off and go above 50.

  • Want a bigger change in style or setting, with only the rough layout kept? Go below 50.

  • If a high strength ignores your prompt, lower it in steps of 10 to 20 and run again.

  • Change one thing at a time in the prompt. You can then tell what the strength did.
