# Remix

The Remix tool lets you modify an existing image, whether it was generated in Ideogram or uploaded. The AI uses the original image as a base for the new one, letting you control how much it influences the final result.

## How to Use Remix

You can access Remix in several ways:

1. **From image feeds** (Home and Creations pages) –\
   Hover over any image in the [Image Gallery](https://docs.ideogram.ai/using-ideogram/ui-overview/ui-components/image-gallery), select the **More** icon <picture><source srcset="https://1799634369-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FzjhNby3LLsIikYuvxAJP%2Fuploads%2FPYS9T78uhmDmuEqNWvcb%2FMore%20-%20White%2020px.svg?alt=media&#x26;token=cba9b268-f5f2-4895-bef0-fa43e5ae3724" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)"><img src="https://1799634369-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FzjhNby3LLsIikYuvxAJP%2Fuploads%2FqhNBoUUnrp0grTzHJonA%2FMore%20-%20Black%2020px.svg?alt=media&#x26;token=dee426ba-09fe-4735-bdd3-81c5ecb71035" alt=""></picture> at the top of the image, and choose **Remix** from the [More menu](https://docs.ideogram.ai/using-ideogram/ui-overview/ui-components/more-menu-...).
2. **From image details** –\
   In the [Details Panel](https://docs.ideogram.ai/using-ideogram/ui-overview/ui-components/details-panel), select the **Remix** button.\
   Alternatively, select the **More** icon <picture><source srcset="https://1799634369-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FzjhNby3LLsIikYuvxAJP%2Fuploads%2FPYS9T78uhmDmuEqNWvcb%2FMore%20-%20White%2020px.svg?alt=media&#x26;token=cba9b268-f5f2-4895-bef0-fa43e5ae3724" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)"><img src="https://1799634369-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FzjhNby3LLsIikYuvxAJP%2Fuploads%2FqhNBoUUnrp0grTzHJonA%2FMore%20-%20Black%2020px.svg?alt=media&#x26;token=dee426ba-09fe-4735-bdd3-81c5ecb71035" alt=""></picture> in the upper-right corner and choose **Remix** from the More menu.
3. **When importing an image into the** [Prompt Box](https://docs.ideogram.ai/using-ideogram/ui-overview/ui-components/prompt-box) –\
   In the popup window, select **Remix** to use the feature on that image.

When using Remix, the original prompt — or the auto-generated description from an uploaded image — automatically fills the Prompt Box. The parent image’s [Aspect Ratio](https://docs.ideogram.ai/using-ideogram/generation-settings/aspect-ratio-and-dimensions) (or the closest available ratio) is applied automatically.

You can edit the prompt and settings, except for the aspect rati&#x6F;*.*\
To change it, use the [Editor](https://docs.ideogram.ai/canvas-and-editing/editor) to crop, resize, or adjust the image before launching Remix.

## Adjusting the Strength

Remix lets you control how much influence (called **Strength**) the parent image has on the new one.\
Click the **Remix** thumbnail in the [Prompt Box](https://docs.ideogram.ai/using-ideogram/ui-overview/ui-components/prompt-box) to open its options.

* Use the **Strength** slider or enter a value between 1 and 100.
* Higher values make the new image closer to the original.
* Set the **Strength** to 0 to remove the parent image entirely and generate a new one based only on the prompt and style tags.
