About this tool

Ideogram is a text-to-image generator known for being unusually good at rendering legible text inside images, which makes it a favorite for posters, logos, packaging mockups and social graphics. The current Ideogram 3.0 model improves photorealism, prompt adherence and style consistency, and the product adds tools like Magic Prompt for prompt rewriting, a Canvas with inpainting and outpainting, style references, character consistency and a Remix feature for variations. Ideogram is offered as a web app, mobile app and API, with a free tier and paid Plus, Pro and Team plans. It is widely used by marketers, designers, indie founders and educators who need on-image typography that other image models still struggle with. The company is led by former Google Imagen researchers and has positioned itself as the typography-first alternative in the image gen space.
