Ideogram Editor

With Ideogram’s Editor feature, you can modify an image as you see fit, including cropping, resizing, tweaking, and making adjustments that will be considered along 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:

1. If you already have an image from a previous generation or an image you’ve uploaded, click or tap the Editor icon on the right-hand side of the image.

2. Click or tap the Editor icon to access the feature and start from a blank canvas.

The different tools available

In the Editor, you have various tools available to you.

Examples

You can use the editor to draw any image from scratch. Ideogram's model can handle abstract drawings:

Then, you can add some text to it this way:

Some scribbles to indicate where the text should go.

Adjusting the prompt to include your text: Photo of a frog on a country road at sunset with text "Have a good day!" in swirly lettering (Remixed at a strength of 4/5 and without Magic Prompt.)

Result:

Here's our frog with the added text.

Finally, lets add a dragonfly to the image, just because we can:
