Tile

Using the Tile Feature

The Tile feature lets you generate images that repeat seamlessly without visible borders or interruptions. It’s available to all paid users and is ideal for creating backgrounds, textures, and repeating patterns directly from a prompt.

To access Tile:

1. Select the Prompt Box to expand it (if not already open) and display the generation settings.

2. Ensure Model version 1.0 is selected under Models + variations — the Tile option is greyed out and unavailable when using any other model version.

3. Select the Tools button to expand the generation tools.

4. Select the More button to open a dropdown menu.

The More dropdown menu.

Important note: The Tile feature is available only in Ideogram model version 1.0.

1. Select the dropdown arrow at the right end of the Tile option to display a list of available tiling styles.

Available grid options.

Grid Styles

These options define how your image repeats:

• Off — Disables the tiling feature.

• Grid — Arranges images in a regular checkered grid.

• Vertical brick — Offsets each column by half its height relative to the one beside it.

• Horizontal brick — Offsets each row by half its width relative to the one above or below.

• Column — Tiles images in a single vertical column.

• Row — Tiles images in a single horizontal row, ideal for banners.

Here are some visual examples of each grid style:

No tile (generated without tiling)

This is the image that will be remixed to generate the tile examples.

Grid (4x4)

This is the most common type of tile, arranged in a checkered grid.

Vertical brick (4x4)

In this example, you can see that the columns are aligned but the rows alternate.

Horizontal brick (4x4)

Here, in contrast, you can see that the rows are aligned but the columns alternate.

Column (1x1)

It's often a good idea to create your image in the same direction of the column (or row) to minimize the effect of repetition.

Column (2x1)

Row (1x1)

Here, the image was generated horizontally to get the maximum number of bottle and minimize visible repetition.

Row (2x1)

Viewing and Adjusting Tiles

When viewing the generated images, you can toggle the tile’s animation by selecting the Play or Pause buttons in the upper corner, depending on the current animation state.

You can adjust the on-screen tile pattern’s size using the Tile scale slider located at the top right...

Downloading Tiles

You can export your seamless Tile images in two ways:

1. From the Details Panel — While viewing a tile image, select the dropdown arrow at the right end of the Download button, then choose a format. Available formats vary depending on the tile type generated.

1. From Library — When one or more tiles are selected, click Download below the image gallery. The 2×2 (or 2×1 / 1×2, depending on the tile type) versions are automatically packaged in a ZIP file and downloaded to your computer where supported.

Combining Remix and Tile

You can combine Remix and Tile to refine or extend an image for use as a banner, pattern, or background. This combination helps you generate exactly the composition and repetition you want.

Here are some examples:
