# Remix

## Overview

The Remix tool lets you modify existing images by using them as a starting point. Your edit instruction shapes the result, while the parent image grounds the composition.

## Access Methods

Users can access Remix through three routes:

1. **Image feeds** - Hover over images in the gallery, select the More icon, and choose Remix.
2. **Image details** - Use the Remix button in the Details Panel or More menu.
3. **Image import** - Select Remix in the popup when importing or pasting into the Prompt Box.

## Key Features

### Automatic Settings

The original prompt (or auto-generated description for uploads) populates the Prompt Box automatically. On Ideogram 4.0, you can pick any aspect ratio for the output or choose **Original** to match the parent. Prior to 4.0, the parent image's aspect ratio applies by default and cannot be modified without using the Editor tool first.

### Strength Control

Prior to 4.0, a slider ranging from 1 to 100 determines influence level:

* Higher values keep the result closer to the original.
* Setting strength to 0 removes the parent image entirely, generating based solely on prompt and style tags.

On 4.0, the slider is hidden. The model selects the right blend automatically from your edit instruction, so you can focus on the prompt.

### Removing Parent Image

Hovering over the Remix thumbnail reveals an "X" icon for removal from the Prompt Box.
