# Ideogram

> Image generation, including transparent output. The one that renders legible text inside an image.

Image generation, including transparent output. The one that renders legible text inside an image.

## Connecting

In the dashboard, open **Connectors**, find Ideogram and press **Connect**. The key you enter is checked against Ideogram before anything is saved, so a key that is refused never becomes a connection that fails later.

### What you will need

| Field   | What it is            |
| ------- | --------------------- |
| API Key | Your Ideogram API key |

### Getting the credential

1. Create an API key at [ideogram.ai](https://ideogram.ai) under **API**
2. Paste it into the connector

## Notes

* `rendering_speed` trades quality against cost: `TURBO`, `DEFAULT`, `QUALITY`.
* `num_images` is charged per image.
* Results are copied onto BoostGPT storage, so the link keeps working.

## What an agent can do with it

| Tool                   | What it does                                                                                                                                                                |
| ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `generate_image`       | Generate an image from a text prompt with Ideogram v4. Use this when the image needs readable words in it — posters, logos, signage — which most image models render badly. |
| `generate_transparent` | Generate an image with a transparent background — for a logo or sticker meant to sit on top of something else.                                                              |
| `get_generation`       | Fetch a generation by id. Only needed when a request was made with async set; an ordinary call returns the image directly.                                                  |
