About Ideogram Vector 1.0

SVG vectors from a prompt or a picture, with clean lettering.

Call it with the model name ideogram/vector-1/text-to-image on POST /jobs/createTask, from $0.174.

Introduction

Ideogram Vector 1.0 Text to SVG draws a new vector file from a description.

Key features

Native vector output

The model returns path and gradient elements, not a picture inside an SVG wrapper.

Lettering that reads

Ideogram is known for typography. In our runs short words such as FOXTROT and NORTH SHORE came back spelt correctly and placed as part of the layout.

Three tiers and 17 ratios

Low is for quick drafts, medium for most work and high for the most detail. The canvas runs from tall 1:4 to wide 4:1.

Pricing

Prices are in USD. The API uses a separate USD balance. Website credits cannot be used or transferred to it, and API funds cannot be transferred to website credits. When a task is accepted, we reserve the maximum quoted amount from your API balance. On completion, we charge for actual usage, never more than the hold, and release the remainder. If the task fails, the hold is released.

Prompt guide & pro tips

Put words in quotes or capitals

Write the exact text you want lettered, and keep it to a few words.
