Ideogram Editor

With Ideogram's Editor feature, you can modify an image as you see fit, cropping, resizing, tweaking and making adjustments that will be taken into account in conjunction with your prompt the next time you remix it. You can even use it to design, from scratch, the visual composition of the image you want to achieve. To access this feature, simply select the prompt field and choose one of the two available options:

2. If you already have an image present from a previous generation or an image you've uploaded, click or tap the pencil icon on the right-hand side of the image in question.
