Edit with masks in Ideogram 3: change only selected regions (content, style, or text) while keeping the rest of the image intact.
The best image results come from specific composition, style, and lighting language. Be explicit about what should be in frame and what should feel dominant.
Best results start with a precise subject, composition, and style direction.
Ideogram Edit V3 on Pixio is Ideogram's mask-based edit mode: change only selected regions (content, style, or text) while keeping the rest of the image intact. Use it when you need precise, localized edits and optionally want to add or change text in the image.

| Mode | Input | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Edit (mask) | Image + mask + prompt | Localized content, style, or text changes |
| Option | Values | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Image | Your upload | Base image |
| Mask | Your mask (region to edit) | Defines which area is changed |
| Prompt | Your text | What to put in the masked region (content, style, or text) |
| Credits | Plan-based | Check model card in Pixio |
Credits are plan-based; check the model card in Pixio for your plan and cost per image.
[What to put in the masked region]. For content: describe the new object or scene. For text: write the exact text you want in the image. For style: describe the look (e.g. "watercolor", "neon sign").
"A large vintage clock on the wall. Same lighting as the room."
"Text: OPEN 24/7. Neon style, red and blue."
"Replace with a window showing a sunset over the ocean. Match room lighting."
"A potted plant in a ceramic vase. Realistic, same style as room."

Tell the model what should dominate the frame first.
Use lighting language early; it changes everything downstream.
When editing, describe what stays, not just what changes.
References help when continuity matters more than novelty.
A strong image prompt defines the subject, composition, lighting, and finish instead of leaving them implied.
Use precise visual language to control subject, composition, lighting, and style from the start.
Preserve the useful parts of the image while steering the rest with masks, references, or prompt edits.
Bring in reference images or LoRAs when consistency is more important than exploration.
Ideogram Edit (V3) is strongest when the visual brief is specific about framing, style, and what should read first.
Use it for campaign images, product shots, subject consistency, or polished concept work.
When editing, say exactly what changes and what must remain untouched.
Lock the subject, composition, and lighting direction before you chase style nuance.
Use references or edits when the same subject, style, or layout has to survive across versions.
Once the frame works, refine only the weak areas instead of rewriting the whole composition.
Finish strong compositions by scaling them without rebuilding the frame from scratch.
Use editing tools after the initial generation when the composition is right but the details still need polish.
