Render Speed

Render Speed controls how much time Ideogram spends producing an image. It affects generation latency, refinement level, and credit usage. Available speeds depend on the selected model, plan, endpoint, and workflow.

To select a render speed:

  1. Open the Prompt Box.

  2. Open the model picker to choose the specific model you want to use.

  3. Open the number of images to be generated.

  4. Choose one of the speeds shown for the selected model.

Image count menu open in the Prompt Box with the Render speed section highlighted showing Turbo, Default, and Quality options

Not every model supports every render speed. If a speed is not shown in the prompt box or is rejected by the API, choose one of the speeds available for that model.

Credit usage can change by model, render speed, output count, and workflow. See Available Plans for the credit system overview and ideogram.ai/pricing for current plan details.
