Describe

Describe is a powerful feature that allows you to detail the content of an image, whether uploaded or generated by Ideogram. There are three ways to access this feature:

Method 1: When viewing images in feeds

While browsing images in any section, click on the "More" icon located at the bottom right, just below the image.

Method 2: When viewing a specific image

When viewing a particular image, click on the "More" icon in the upper right corner.

Method 3: From the prompt area, when there is an parent image

If there is an image in your "Prompt Area", click on the "Describe" icon on the right side of the parent image preview.

When you activate the Describe function, the AI will analyze your image and generate a suitable prompt that describes the content of the submitted image. Below are three examples of real photographs where the Describe function was used, and Ideogram’s AI was asked to generate the corresponding images without using the Remix or Magic Prompt features.

Prompt from Describe: A picturesque town nestled between a dense forest and a serene lake. The town is characterized by a main road that runs through it, flanked by houses on both sides. The houses vary in size and color, with some having red roofs. The forest is ablaze with autumn colors, ranging from golden yellows to fiery reds and deep oranges. In the background, majestic mountains rise, partially obscured by a layer of mist. The sky above is clear with a few wispy clouds, suggesting a bright and sunny day.

Prompt from Describe: An antique wooden radio with intricate carvings, placed on a wooden shelf. Above the radio, there are glass containers, possibly for decorative orbs. The radio is surrounded by lush green plants, with one plant trailing down the side of the shelf. The setting appears to be indoors, with a white wall in the background.

If the result you get from Describe doesn’t meet your expectations, try using the Editor to crop your original image to a different aspect ratio or zoom in on the main subject. This may generate a slightly different prompt that could produce a better image.
