Ideogram receives broad operating/improving/promoting rights while content is stored; public output may be remixed by other users. The private-content exception limits other users' reuse, not every vendor processing right. New images on Plus and higher plans are private until published; Free is public.

Basis and limits of the recorded score
The existing 4.5/5 rating is retained. Its original scoring worksheet is unavailable; this documentation review does not rescore the product or measure output quality.
Overview
This entry describes character-reference work inside Ideogram rather than a separately licensed downloadable character model. Current documentation directs users to Ideogram 4.5 with one to five character images, reused with prompts for new scenes.
References guide generation; they do not lock identity or guarantee consistency. Current support differs across models, and this review did not establish continued availability of every older Character interface. Obtain consent and likeness rights before using a real person's reference.
