Ideogram Launches Vector Model: Text and Images to Editable SVG in Seconds

On October 23, image generation company Ideogram officially launched its first vector model, Ideogram Vector, along with the companion Vectorizer tool. Its two core capabilities: generating clean, editable SVG vector graphics directly from text prompts, and converting any existing image into a detailed, scalable vector graphic in about 5 seconds—suited for logos, typography, illustrations, posters, and more. Unlike most AI image tools that output only flat PNGs, every shape in its SVG output is an independent, editable path with smooth gradients and crisp typography.

Confirmed

Feature set: text-to-vector and image-to-vector, available on both web and API; the platform's Vectorizer interface offers Simple/Default detail levels, with each conversion costing 10 credits (@testingcatalog).
API pricing (@socialwithaayan): text-to-SVG is priced by quality—Low $0.13/image, Medium $0.16/image, High $0.20/image, and High with a reference image at $0.32/image; image-to-vector costs $0.10/image.
Hands-on results: @socialwithaayan uploaded a sneaker product photo and got an SVG with 998 independent paths within seconds, with the laces, suede panels, and outsole individually selectable and editable; when the same shoe was scaled up 10x, the product photo's edges blurred while the SVG lines stayed clean.
Text handling: a one-line prompt for a RUN CLUB logo in three styles—retro badge, line art, and poster—each delivered in under a minute with all letters spelled correctly.
Workflow combos: an SVG generated by Ideogram Vector (essentially code) was handed to Claude for recoloring; Claude changed only the suede, stripes, and sole colors while preserving stitching and shading details, producing 4 colorways from a single file.

Why it matters

Vector output tackles two long-standing pain points of AI-generated images: pixel graphics blur when scaled up, and AI-rendered text is often misspelled. A single SVG file works as both a small icon and large-format print material, with every shape independently editable and modifiable in tandem with other AI tools (such as LLMs), opening new automation possibilities for design workflows.
