Reuse your transparent PNGs in launch pages, promotional banners, and social media posts. Teams can edit individual images in the app or connect larger workflows through the API.
Keep typography, logos, and detailed graphics intact
Ideogram handles the fine strokes and spaces within lettering, logos, badges, and illustrations. Remove the surrounding background to reuse the graphic on new colors and layouts, from posters and flyers to presentations and design mockups.
Prepare illustrations for print-on-demand
Remove backgrounds from artwork to create transparent designs for shirts, stickers, and merchandise mockups. Try the cutout on different product colors and check the fine outlines before choosing a layout.
Check the image dimensions and your printer’s requirements before sending the design to print.
Remove the background from your picture
Isolate a person from a busy scene to prepare a profile picture, headshot layout, or creator graphic. Use the cutout in a YouTube thumbnail or social post, with space around the subject for text.
For portraits, check the hair and clothing edges in the preview. A clear source photo makes those details easier to review. You can also isolate pets for custom cards and social posts.
Use your cutout on a new background
A transparent PNG gives you a subject you can reuse. Place it over a white background for a simple product layout, a brand color for a campaign graphic, or another photo for a new composition.
In Ideogram Studio, add your background image first, then place the cutout above it as another layer. Adjust the size and position before exporting. Add text and arrange cutouts with other images to create a collage, poster, or presentation.
