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 More options icon to open a dropdown menu.

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:

Grid (4x4)Example of the Grid tiling style (4×4)This is the most common type of tile, arranged in a checkered grid.
Vertical brick (4x4)Cottage-and-garden scene tiled 4x4 in vertical brick style, each column offset by half a tileIn this example, you can see that the columns are aligned but the rows alternate.
Horizontal brick (4x4)Yellow cottage scene tiled 4x4 in horizontal brick style, each row offset by half a tileHere, in contrast, you can see that the rows are aligned but the columns alternate.
Column (1x1)Tall single-column tile of dark ivy climbing a weathered stone wallIt'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)The ivy-covered stone wall repeated twice vertically as a seamless 2x1 column tile
Row (1x1)
Wide shot of assorted glass bottles lined up along a dimly lit bar counter

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

Row (2x1)
The bar counter image repeated twice side by side, forming a seamless extra-wide banner of bottles
### Viewing and Adjusting Tiles When viewing the generated images, you can toggle the tile’s animation by selecting the **Play** Play button icon or **Pause** Pause button icon 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.

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](https://1799634369-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FzjhNby3LLsIikYuvxAJP%2Fuploads%2FTL9Lo2d4XnZRRk3ue8dt%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=731a74e6-6660-4f0a-8af7-245a3f92e12e) 2x2 Tile generated from a Remix of the image above:\ ![Seamless 2x2 tile of the watercolor sparrow perched on a teacup](https://1799634369-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FzjhNby3LLsIikYuvxAJP%2Fuploads%2FwJxEJC0Pc14jevsmX1r7%2F2x2-tiled.png?alt=media\&token=499cafe9-5df7-42c8-b651-8435b03f9d15) ### Example 2 Image generated from a normal prompt:\ ![Seven cats peeking over a weathered wooden fence under a blue sky](https://1799634369-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FzjhNby3LLsIikYuvxAJP%2Fuploads%2Ft7KrYNZBrUgpXGeokTWy%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=84c1363b-6a28-4385-98ae-0ed9445c07b2) 2x1 Tile generated from a Remix of the image above:\ The cats on a fence image tiled 2x1 into a wide seamless banner of kittens peering over fence posts
