Ideogram 4.5 edits only the part of an image you pick, company says

Ideogram has announced Ideogram 4.5, an image model that the company says fixes one of the biggest headaches in AI image editing: when you edit one part of a picture, the rest should not change. The article gives an example: swap someone's outfit, and their body shape and background should stay intact.

The article notes that leading models such as GPT-Image 2.5 and Nano Banana have gotten much better at this kind of consistent editing, but they still tend to produce artifacts, especially after multiple edits. Ideogram's claim is that Ideogram 4.5 only touches what the user tells it to. The target use cases are product photography, interior design, photo restoration and in-image text editing. The article adds that early testers confirm strong consistency across edits, without naming them or giving figures.

On availability and price, Ideogram 4.5 comes in four quality tiers, ranging from 0.8 to 22 cents per image, all at native 2K resolution. The model is available now on the Ideogram platform and through the API. Partners include Picsart, Runway, Pika and Leonardo AI. Ideogram also says an open-weight release is coming soon.

Key facts

  • Ideogram 4.5 is pitched as an image model that edits only the part of an image the user specifies, leaving the rest unchanged; this is the company's claim.
  • It offers four quality tiers priced from 0.8 to 22 cents per image, all at native 2K resolution.
  • It is available now on the Ideogram platform and through the API; partners named are Picsart, Runway, Pika and Leonardo AI.
  • Target use cases are product photography, interior design, photo restoration and in-image text editing.
  • Ideogram says an open-weight release is coming soon.

Why it matters

Edits that spill into the rest of the picture are a common frustration with AI image tools. The article says even leading models like GPT-Image 2.5 and Nano Banana, which have improved, still tend to produce artifacts, especially after several edits in a row. If Ideogram 4.5 does leave untouched areas alone, as the company claims, repeated edits become more practical for work such as product photos or interior mockups.

Who it affects

The stated target uses are product photography, interior design, photo restoration and in-image text editing, so people doing that kind of work are the obvious audience. The named partners are Picsart, Runway, Pika and Leonardo AI. The article does not say what those partners do with the model.

How to use it

The model is available now on the Ideogram platform and through the API. It has four quality tiers, ranging from 0.8 to 22 cents per image, and every tier outputs at native 2K resolution. Ideogram also says an open-weight release is coming soon.

How solid is it

The core claim comes from Ideogram itself. The article cites early testers who confirm strong consistency across edits, but names none of them. No benchmark results or quantitative measure of editing consistency are given. The article also gives no comparison numbers against GPT-Image 2.5 or Nano Banana; they appear only as models that still tend to produce artifacts.

Risks and caveats

Treat the consistency claim as unproven until independent testing, especially over multiple edits, where the article says rivals struggle. The source does not say which tier costs what or which tier has which features, only the overall price range. The open-weight release has no date beyond "coming soon" and no license is named. The source also does not explain how the model achieves localized editing.
