# Magic Prompt

Magic Prompt helps you craft better prompts effortlessly. It uses Ideogram’s built-in language model to interpret, refine, or expand your text to increase variety and visual quality in the generated images. You can also write in your native language — Magic Prompt translates and enhances it for you.

## Magic Prompt options

To access the Magic Prompt options:

1. Select the [Prompt Box](/using-ideogram/ui-overview/ui-components/prompt-box.md) to reveal the generation settings (if not already visible).
2. Choose a model, as the model will determine if Magic Prompt settings can be changed.
3. Select **Magic Prompt** (displayed as the selected option such as <kbd>**Auto**</kbd>) to open the dropdown menu.

### Magic Prompt Modes

* **Auto** — Lets Ideogram decide how many images use enhanced prompts based on the length of your original prompt.
* **On** — Applies the enhanced prompt to all four generated images.
* **Off** — Uses your original prompt without any modification.

## Examples

Here are a few examples of Magic Prompt in action, showing the enhanced prompts and resulting images.

### Example 1 — Cat and beach ball

> **Original Prompt:**
>
> *A cat on the right side of a beach ball on a sunny beach.*

#### With Magic Prompt off:

With Magic Prompt set to **Off**, Ideogram generated four images that follow the instructions from your original prompt.

#### With Magic Prompt on

In this example, Magic Prompt generated an enhanced version of the prompt, adding common beach elements and introducing artistic and playful details

In the example above, the first image was generated by the AI according to the enhanced *Magic Prompt* prompt below:

> **Magic Prompt:**
>
> *A playful cat is sitting on the right side of a vibrant beach ball, situated on a sunny, sandy beach. The beach is dotted with sunbathers and colorful umbrellas. Waves gently lap at the shore, and a pristine blue sky is adorned with a few fluffy white clouds. Seagulls soar overhead, adding to the lively and carefree atmosphere.*

**Tip:** When you select an image, the [Details Panel](/using-ideogram/ui-overview/ui-components/details-panel.md) shows both the original and enhanced prompts if *Magic Prompt* was active when generating that image.
{% endhint %}

Below are a few other examples of images generated with and without Magic Prompt.

### Example 2 — Cupcake and strawberries

> **Original Prompt:**
>
> *Photo of cupcake and strawberries.*

> **Magic Prompt:**
>
> *A delectable photo of a scrumptious cupcake adorned with fresh, vibrant strawberries. The cupcake features a soft, fluffy frosting covered in colorful sprinkles, while the strawberries add a touch of natural sweetness and elegance. The background evokes a sense of warmth and comfort, with a rustic, vintage feel, and a hint of a sunlit afternoon.*

It features a pioneer-style wooden cabin nestled among tall pine trees, with a bright yellow sun shining overhead and a blue sky. In the background, there's a lake surrounded by lush green grass. The camp's name is written in bold, playful letters in a mix of red, orange, and yellow, evoking the warmth and excitement of summer. The logo exudes an atmosphere of adventure and friendship.*
