# P-Image-Ideogram: fast text-to-image models Ideogram publishes a public search API over its indexed pages; the guide is at https://ideogram.ai/agents/agent-access. Source: https://ideogram.ai/tools/p-image-ideogram/ Source observed: 2026-11-03T18:37:54.890Z Last checked: 2026-11-08T15:45:21.123+00:00 Indexed: 2026-11-03T18:39:14.076+00:00 --- # P-Image-Ideogram We offer P-Image-Ideogram, a family of Pareto-optimal image models built with Pruna AI. It is designed to balance image quality, latency, and cost for high-volume production and rapid iteration. ## Quality–cost Pareto frontier We compare models by Elo rating versus cost per image. The chart uses ratings from the third-party [Design Arena image leaderboard](https://www.designarena.ai/leaderboard/image); moving up and left is better. It covers 66 text-to-image models with published per-image pricing. Costs come from each provider’s per-image list price. Data was pulled on 2026-07-29. P-Image-Ideogram (Pruna × Ideogram) has two displayed 1K-resolution Quality modes on the Pareto frontier: | P-Image-Ideogram mode | Design Arena Elo | Cost per image | |---|---:|---:| | Very Low 1K | 1166 | $0.003 | | Low 1K | 1191 | $0.0075 | Other frontier points shown in the chart are GPT-Image-1 Mini (Elo 1206, $0.011), Krea 2 Turbo (Elo 1223, $0.015), Krea 2 Medium (Elo 1228, $0.030), GPT-Image-1.5 (Elo 1309, $0.034), and GPT Image 2 (Elo 1387, $0.053).

P-Image-Ideogram is our fast text-to-image model, built with Pruna AI. At 1K resolution, it typically returns an image in about 2.9–5.0 seconds and costs roughly $0.003–$0.015 per image depending on Quality. Very High costs $0.033 per 1K image for the most demanding briefs. We built it for high-volume production and iteration without moving to slower premium models. ### What is Quality? Quality is a five-level control: **Very Low, Low, Medium, High, and Very High**. It trades off speed, price, and the compute applied to the prompt. The levels are not a strict worse-to-better ladder; choose them according to the complexity and precision of the brief. - **Medium:** everyday default. - **High:** dense typography, complex prompts, and fine detail. - **Very High:** maximum compute for the hardest briefs. - **Very Low or Low:** drafts and A/B exploration. ### How does P-Image-Ideogram compare on speed and price? On human-preference and automated-judge benchmarks, quality is near leading image models while runs are often about a second and below approximately $0.02 at 1K, compared with tens of seconds and $0.10 or more for GPT-class and Nano Banana Pro runs. These figures are directional. ### Is there an API? Yes. Send a `POST` request with a prompt to `/v1/text-to-image/p-image-ideogram` and include an `Api-Key` header. Optional fields are `quality`, `resolution`, and `aspect_ratio`. ```text POST /v1/text-to-image/p-image-ideogram Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY ``` Accepted values include: - `quality`: `VERY_LOW`, `LOW`, `MEDIUM`, `HIGH`, or `VERY_HIGH` - `resolution`: `1K` or `2K` - `aspect_ratio`: optional Defaults are `quality=MEDIUM` and `resolution=1K`.
