Ideogram Sketch to Render API vs a Sume image reference edit
Ideogram's Sketch to Render turns a fashion sketch into garment imagery. On Sume, send the sketch URL in image_urls with a prompt describing materials.

Ideogram's Sketch to Render "turns a fashion sketch into photorealistic garment or product imagery" from an uploaded sketch_image. Sume has no fashion-specific tool in the docs read; the equivalent is an image edit with the sketch URL in image_urls and a prompt that states materials and rendering.
Ideogram facts are from its Sketch to Render page, read 2026-10-01.
What does Sketch to Render take?
POST /v2/tool/sketch-to-render is multipart. sketch_image (up to 50 MB; JPEG, PNG, WEBP, HEIF, AVIF, GIF, BMP, TIFF, MPO) and instruction are required; instruction carries material and rendering direction. Optional fields include aspect_ratio (default 1:1), quality, seed, num_images, and webhook_url. It returns a generation_id to poll.
How do I do it on Sume?
The Image 1.0 page lists "Edit / reference" as prompt plus image_urls (1 to 10 public HTTPS URLs). Put the sketch first, write the fabric, colorway, and lighting in prompt, and set aspect_ratio and num_images (1 to 4) as needed (see Image 1.0). The model decides how closely the sketch's silhouette is kept; nothing in the docs promises it. A close cousin is GPT Image 2.5 sketch to image.
| Need | Ideogram | Sume |
|---|---|---|
| Sketch input | sketch_image file | image_urls, public HTTPS |
| Direction | instruction (required) | prompt (required) |
| Count | num_images | num_images 1 to 4 |
| Ratio | aspect_ratio, default 1:1 | aspect_ratio, per-model catalog |
What gets rejected?
Reference URLs must be public HTTPS; localhost, private-network, and non-HTTPS URLs are rejected before submission. A parameter the selected model does not list returns 400 unsupported_parameter instead of being dropped, so do not send fields such as seed unless the model lists them.
