# Available Models

When generating images with Ideogram, you can choose between model options where your account, plan, endpoint, and selected workflow support them. The selected model affects prompt interpretation, visual style, speed options, supported settings, and credit usage.

To select a model:

1. Open the [Prompt Box](/using-ideogram/ui-overview/ui-components/prompt-box.md).
2. Open the model picker or model/variations menu.
3. Choose the model, number of images, and supported [Render Speed](/using-ideogram/generation-settings/render-speed.md) for that workflow.

## Ideogram 4.0

Ideogram 4.0 is the current Ideogram model for prompt fidelity, crystal-clear type, reliable editing, native transparency, style control, and design-quality outputs.

Use Ideogram 4.0 for practical design workflows such as posters, campaigns, print-on-demand artwork, interface assets, brand worlds, and images that need to hold up beyond the first prompt.

Ideogram 4.0 is available across approved public surfaces including the Ideogram app, API workflows, MCP for agents and internal tools, and open weights or open-source releases for builders. Exact availability can vary by account, endpoint, plan, and rollout.

The product docs use the label **Ideogram 4.0**. For exact API model values, endpoint support, and request schemas, use the public developer docs at [developer.ideogram.ai](https://developer.ideogram.ai).

## Earlier and Legacy Models

Older models may still appear where your account, plan, endpoint, or workflow supports them.

| Docs label            | API/model value if public | Notes                                        |
| --------------------- | ------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Ideogram 3.0 Latest   | `V_3_1`                   | Public if still exposed.                     |
| Ideogram 3.0 March 26 | `V_3_0`                   | Older 3.0 option.                            |
| Ideogram 2a           | `V_2_1`                   | Faster 2.x model.                            |
| Ideogram 2.0          | `V_1_5`                   | Older 2.x model.                             |
| Ideogram 1.1 / 1.0    | `V_1_1` / `V_0_3`         | Legacy.                                      |
| Auto                  | `AUTO` if public          | Automatically selects model where supported. |

## Compatibility

Not every model supports every setting. Controls such as Flash render speed, custom dimensions, color palette, negative prompt, tile, character reference, style reference, product references, custom models, Canvas, and API availability can differ by model and rollout.

Where available, Ideogram 4.0 supports post-generation workflows such as remove background, prompt edit, layerize or editable text layers, extend, reframe, upscale, remix, and Magic Fill.

For API model values and endpoint-specific availability, use the public developer docs at [developer.ideogram.ai](https://developer.ideogram.ai).
