What should I do if Ideogram is not working?

First confirm it is a platform-wide issue by checking prismix.dev/service/ideogram. If it shows an active outage, the provider is aware and working on a fix. If Prismix shows Operational but you still have issues, the problem may be account-specific, regional, or a local network issue.

Quick check: is Ideogram down right now?

Prismix: prismix.dev/service/ideogram — live status + 30-day uptime + incidents.
API call: curl https://prismix.dev/api/v1/statuses | jq '.services[] | select(.id=="ideogram")'
Direct test: curl https://api.ideogram.ai/generate -H "Api-Key: YOUR_KEY" -d '{"image_request":{"prompt":"test","aspect_ratio":"ASPECT_1_1","model":"V_2"}}' — a 200 response confirms the API is reachable.

Common causes of "Ideogram not working"

Text not rendering correctly in generated images — Ideogram's main differentiator is text-in-image quality; use "rendering_speed": "QUALITY" (not TURBO) for best text accuracy. Complex text (more than ~10 words) may wrap unexpectedly — test text positioning with "placement" hints in the prompt.
Magic Prompt changing my prompt significantly — Magic Prompt is enabled by default and rewrites your input for better results. Set "magic_prompt_option": "OFF" in the API request to use your exact prompt without rewriting.
V2 vs V2 Turbo quality differences — V2 Turbo is 3× faster but lower quality; V2 is the standard model; V_1 is deprecated and produces significantly worse results. Always use model: "V_2" or "V_2_TURBO" in the API.
Remix output too different from source — Ideogram Remix starts from an existing image; use image_weight between 0.5 (more creative) and 1.0 (stays close to source). "STYLE_REFERENCE" keeps the visual style; "COMPOSITION_REFERENCE" keeps the layout.
API 429 rate limit — Ideogram's free tier allows 10 slow queue credits/month; API requires a paid plan. Ideogram uses a credit system: 1 credit = 1 standard generation; V2 Turbo uses fewer credits than V2. Check balance at ideogram.ai/account.
Canvas edits not applying to the right area — Ideogram Canvas uses mask-based editing; the mask must be a PNG with transparent areas marking where to edit. If the mask colors are wrong (should be RGBA with alpha channel), edits apply to the wrong region.
