# 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](/using-ideogram/generation-settings/available-models.md) — 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 <picture><source srcset="/files/bbvScHeWGxLkjTbtJpXt" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)"><img src="/files/G9uvkUnXUA9rkmLWWyVG" alt="More options icon" data-size="line"></picture> to open a dropdown menu.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important note:** The Tile feature is available only in **Ideogram model version 1.0**.
{% endhint %}

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

#### 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:

<table data-card-size="large" data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>No tile (generated without tiling)</td><td><img src="/files/jHOFvJbSNGb9jl7cnOlO" alt="Original image to be remixed." data-size="original"></td><td>This is the image that will be remixed to generate the tile examples.</td></tr><tr><td>Grid (4x4)</td><td><img src="/files/01y40BpXh2ojPlZbgMEY" alt="Example of the Grid tiling style (4×4)" data-size="original"></td><td>This is the most common type of tile, arranged in a checkered grid.</td></tr><tr><td>Vertical brick (4x4)</td><td><img src="/files/BoVhlt4qGtLVnWhvreZv" alt="Cottage-and-garden scene tiled 4x4 in vertical brick style, each column offset by half a tile" data-size="original"></td><td>In this example, you can see that the columns are aligned but the rows alternate.</td></tr><tr><td>Horizontal brick (4x4)</td><td><img src="/files/aGG0qlvm7LJJf3jyp1Xl" alt="Yellow cottage scene tiled 4x4 in horizontal brick style, each row offset by half a tile" data-size="original"></td><td>Here, in contrast, you can see that the rows are aligned but the columns alternate.</td></tr><tr><td>Column (1x1)</td><td><img src="/files/YO4gQiKK9zzLkmE6B739" alt="Tall single-column tile of dark ivy climbing a weathered stone wall" data-size="original"></td><td>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.</td></tr><tr><td>Column (2x1)</td><td><img src="/files/uVnB1qe9RlirPLFC9V5g" alt="The ivy-covered stone wall repeated twice vertically as a seamless 2x1 column tile" data-size="original"></td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

Row (1x1)

### Viewing and Adjusting Tiles

When viewing the generated images, you can toggle the tile’s animation by selecting the **Play** <img src="/files/2Kjn7Kg9xxTLiKihneFY" alt="Play button icon" data-size="line"> or **Pause** <img src="/files/xRf1iVEorQxR2mHzo6nF" alt="Pause button icon" data-size="line"> 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.

<figure><picture><source srcset="/files/OM5BpdAcoaCC42sDWI3w" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)"><img src="/files/4WmpfnJgDUDbArZGO0nW" alt="Download menu listing 1x1, 2x1, 4x1, and 8x1 tile options" width="160"></picture><figcaption><p>Menu showing the available download Tile formats.</p></figcaption></figure>

2. 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](/using-ideogram/features-and-tools/remix.md) 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:

### Example 1

Image generated from a normal prompt:\
![Watercolor of a fluffy sparrow perched on a steaming teacup decorated with flowers](/files/3swrdlwkcIhh1wRmGimT)

2x2 Tile generated from a Remix of the image above:\
![Seamless 2x2 tile of the watercolor sparrow perched on a teacup](/files/HuYkD1Oecf6rS0W2CM46)

### Example 2

Image generated from a normal prompt:\
![Seven cats peeking over a weathered wooden fence under a blue sky](/files/6UkcuVNU7kRPifxPdh00)

2x1 Tile generated from a Remix of the image above:\ <img src="/files/JbQxtCzXUpSIrv1SVXAy" alt="The cats on a fence image tiled 2x1 into a wide seamless banner of kittens peering over fence posts" data-size="original">
