Ideogram Vector and Precise Edit Guide

Ideogram Vector 1.0

Creates editable SVG artwork from text, or converts images into vectors

Precise Edit

Edits finished images with instructions, changing only what you ask

Vector gives you designs you can resize forever. Precise Edit lets you fix them without starting over.

Released on October 22, 2026, Vector 1.0 is Ideogram’s first vector model. It outputs SVG files you can recolour, resize, and edit in design tools like Figma or Illustrator.

• Text to vector: describe a logo, icon, or illustration
• Image to vector: convert an existing image into SVG
• Available in the Ideogram app, the API, and partner platforms
• API pricing starts at $0.10 per image-to-vector conversion

• Logo concepts and brand marks
• Icon sets for apps and websites
• Stickers, merch, and print designs
• Illustrations that need to scale to any size

A flat vector logo for a cycling café called “Spoke & Bean”: a coffee cup formed from a bicycle wheel, two colours, bold clean lines, no gradients, works at small sizes.

• Ask for flat colours and simple shapes
• Limit the number of colours
• Put exact text in quotes

Precise Edit is the editing mode of Ideogram 4.5, released on September 30, 2026. You describe a change, and it keeps everything else as it was, copying unchanged pixels from the original so images do not drift over many edits.

• Limit edits to an area with a mask
• Use up to four reference images
• Chain many edits, one change at a time
• Keeps the original image size

• Change a product’s colour across a campaign
• Swap or translate text in a finished design
• Retouch photos without changing faces
• Make client revisions without regenerating

• Make one change per instruction
• Name what must stay the same
• Mask small areas for tight control
• Save versions so you can step back

Change the headline text to “Grand Opening Saturday” in the same font and colour. Do not change anything else.

• Create the logo or icon with Vector 1.0
• Refine the SVG in your design tool
• Place it in campaign images
• Use Precise Edit to make sizes, colours, and language versions

• Vector 1.0 does not have an edit endpoint; edit SVGs in a design tool
• Complex scenes make heavy SVG files; simple designs vectorise best
• Ideogram’s claims about pixel preservation come from its own tests
• Check text spelling in every output

• Check that logos are not too close to existing trademarks
• Only convert images you own or have rights to
• Follow Ideogram’s terms for commercial use
