# Private Generations

With an Ideogram **Plus Plan** or higher, you can generate private images that only you can view.\
Private images remain private even after your subscription ends — you can still access and download them in JPG format. To unlock all download options again, resubscribe to a *Plus Plan* or higher.

For more details about purchasing, upgrading, or managing your subscription, visit [Available Plans](/plans-and-pricing/available-plans.md).

## Generating Private Images

You can set your generation visibility using the **Visibility** button.

1. Select the Prompt Box to show the generation settings (if not already visible).
2. Select the **Change visibility** button on the right side of the settings row to open the dropdown, then choose **Published** (anyone can see and use) or **Unpublished** (only you can see and use) for your next generation.

## Viewing Your Private Generations

To view private generations, open **My images** (Library) and switch to the **Unpublished** tab. The **Published** tab shows everything visible to the community.

## Changing Image Visibility

To make an unpublished image public or take a published image private, you can:

1. When viewing an image in detail, select **Publish to community** in the action icons at the top of the Details Panel.

2. To update multiple images at once, open **My images**, select the images (click or drag across the grid), then use the **⋯** menu in the bar that appears at the bottom and choose **Publish** or **Unpublish**.
