Ideogram 4 Quality AI Generator
Generated on PixelDojo with Ideogram 4 Quality. Produced by PixelDojo's generation pipeline.
Ideogram 4 Quality costs 3 credits per image, the most expensive tier in the Ideogram 4.0 family, and it finished our studio product test in about 41 seconds on August 26, 2026. The catalog markets it as the slowest tier. In our test it was not meaningfully slower than the cheaper ones. We ran it once, on a product photography brief, and this page reports exactly what came back and what the 3 credits actually paid for.

Ideogram 4 Quality
Test notes: the 3 credit quality tier
The brief was a hard one
Matte black earbuds in an open case, an unbroken light gray backdrop, subtle reflection under the case. That last instruction is the kind of detail cheaper models tend to skip.
What we saw in the output
Matte black earbuds sit in an open case, each bud stamped with a small L or R, a soft round shadow beneath the case, and a faint reflective disc under it that mirrors the case itself. A thin diagonal wire lies across the unbroken gray backdrop as a styling prop, and two small amber LED indicator dots sit on the case body.
The reflection instruction actually landed
That subtle reflection under the case, easy to skip, showed up as a soft glass-like disc beneath the product with a faint mirror of the case in it. Not every model gets this detail right on the first pass.
Speed did not track the marketing
Ideogram markets Quality as its slowest tier. Our timed run came in at about 41 seconds, close to the 36 to 43 second range we measured for Turbo and Balanced on their own prompts, not a large gap.
2048x2048 by default, same as Balanced
No resolution was set. The automatic default produced a square 2048 pixel image, matching the size we saw from the balanced tier on a different prompt.
We tested the top tier once, on a product shot. 3 credits, about 41 seconds, kept without a retry.
Why Choose Pixel Dojo for Ideogram 4 Quality
Professional-quality results with cutting-edge AI technology
3 credits per image
The ceiling price in the family. Resolution choice does not change it.
About 41 seconds, measured
Timed on August 26, 2026 from request to finished file, default settings, kept on the first result.
Detail instructions actually followed
The reflection under the case, the L and R markings on the buds, and the LED indicator dots all rendered without a retry.
How It Works
How we tested it:
Give it a detail-heavy brief on purpose
We chose a product photography prompt with a specific, easy-to-skip instruction (a subtle reflection under the case) to see whether the top tier actually earns its price.
Set tier to quality
This is what charges 3 credits instead of 1 or 2 and routes the request to the highest-fidelity model in the family.
Time it the same way as the cheaper tiers
Request to finished file, no retries, so the turnaround number is directly comparable to the Turbo and Balanced runs.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about Ideogram 4 Quality
What does Ideogram 4 Quality cost?
3 credits per image, flat, regardless of resolution.
How fast is Ideogram 4 Quality?
About 41 seconds in our August 26, 2026 test, default settings, a single run kept without a retry. Real turnaround moves with queue load.
Is it actually slower than Turbo or Balanced?
Not by much in our one test. Turbo finished a different prompt in about 36 seconds and Balanced in about 43 seconds. Quality landed inside that same range at about 41 seconds, so the price difference bought detail fidelity more than it cost turnaround time.
What does the extra 2 credits over Turbo buy?
In our product photography test, it bought a reflection under the case, L and R markings on the earbuds, and small LED indicator details, the kind of fine instruction-following that a hero image or print-ready shot needs.
How do I call it from the API?
POST to /api/v1/models/ideogram-v4-quality/run with your API key and a prompt. Add a resolution field for an explicit size, or leave it out for the automatic default.
When should I use Turbo instead?
Turbo costs 1 credit and is the right choice for drafts, iteration, or any job where a slightly softer result is fine. Save Quality's 3 credits for the shot that is actually going out the door.
