**Ideogram Vector is an AI model that generates editable SVG vector graphics from a text prompt, with optional reference images. Unlike a PNG from a regular image model, the result is made of paths you can recolour, resize and edit in Figma, Illustrator or Inkscape without losing sharpness. On Raywake one SVG costs at most $0.21 at low quality, $0.26 at medium and $0.32 at high, with no subscription.**

Ideogram Vector has been live on Raywake since 23 October 2026 as [Ideogram Vector](https://raywake.si/explore/ideogram/vector/text-to-vector). The details below come from its request contract and the live prices on 31 October 2026.

## Why generate SVG instead of PNG?

A PNG has a fixed number of pixels: enlarge a logo for a banner and its edges blur. An SVG describes shapes, so it stays sharp at any size and stays small as a file. You can also change a colour, move a shape or delete a detail in any vector editor, instead of regenerating the whole image.

That makes vector output the better fit for:

- logos and brand marks
- icons and icon sets
- stickers, badges and labels for print
- flat illustrations for websites and slides
- patterns and shapes you will edit later

For photos and detailed realistic scenes, a regular image model is still the right tool.

## How much does Ideogram Vector cost?

Ideogram Vector is priced per SVG, by quality. The prices are upper bounds; you see the exact quote before you generate.

| Quality | Price per SVG | Good for                         |
| ------- | ------------: | -------------------------------- |
| Low     |   up to $0.21 | Exploring ideas and layouts      |
| Medium  |   up to $0.26 | Most icons and illustrations     |
| High    |   up to $0.32 | Final logos and detailed artwork |

Asking for several images in one request multiplies the price by the number of SVGs.

## Prompting tips for clean vectors

**Describe a flat style.** Words such as "flat", "minimal", "geometric", "two colours" or "line icon" lead to fewer, cleaner paths that are easier to edit.

**Name the colours.** Listing a palette ("navy, coral and cream") keeps a set of icons consistent.

**Use a reference image for a direction.** Add an image to show a style or composition you want to follow.

**Generate a few, then edit.** Make several low-quality options, pick one, then render it at high quality and adjust it in your editor.

## How to call Ideogram Vector through the API

Quote first. A quote is free and returns the exact price. The model ID is `ideogram/vector/text-to-vector`.

**Quote an Ideogram Vector SVG**

cURL:

```bash
curl --fail-with-body https://api.raywake.com/v1/quotes \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $RAYWAKE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"ideogram/vector/text-to-vector","input":{"prompt":"Flat minimal logo of a fox head made of geometric shapes, orange and charcoal","quality":"high","aspect_ratio":"1:1"}}'
```

Python:

```python
import os
import requests

payload = {
    'model': 'ideogram/vector/text-to-vector',
    'input': {
        'prompt': 'Set of line icons for a coffee shop menu: cup, croissant, bean, kettle',
        'quality': 'medium',
        'aspect_ratio': '1:1',
    },
}
response = requests.post(
    'https://api.raywake.com/v1/quotes',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["RAYWAKE_API_KEY"]}'},
    json=payload, timeout=30,
)
response.raise_for_status()
print(response.json())
```

JavaScript:

```javascript
const payload = {
  model: 'ideogram/vector/text-to-vector',
  input: {
    prompt: 'Flat illustration of a lighthouse on a rocky coast at sunset, three colours',
    quality: 'low',
    aspect_ratio: '16:9',
  },
};
const response = await fetch('https://api.raywake.com/v1/quotes', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.RAYWAKE_API_KEY}`, 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify(payload),
  signal: AbortSignal.timeout(30000),
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Quote failed: ${response.status}`);
console.log(await response.json());
```

The response has a `quote_id`, the price in credits (100 credits = $1) and an expiry time. See the [quotes reference](https://raywake.si/docs/reference/quotes) for every field.

## Common questions

### Is the SVG really editable?

Yes. The output is an SVG file made of vector paths. Open it in Figma, Illustrator, Inkscape or a code editor to change colours and shapes.

### Can I use Ideogram Vector for a logo?

Yes, it is one of the best uses. Check that your design does not copy an existing trademark before you use it commercially.

### Do I need an Ideogram subscription?

No. On Raywake each SVG is paid from your prepaid USD balance.

### Can I turn an existing PNG into an SVG?

You can add an image as a reference, and the model draws a new vector graphic guided by it. It is a new drawing, not an exact trace of the original.
