Ideogram

The AI image generator that finally gets typography right

Ideogram is purpose-built to solve the hardest problem in AI image generation: accurate text rendering inside images. While other models garble letters and distort words, Ideogram consistently produces readable, well-styled typography integrated naturally into illustrations and designs. It's the preferred tool for social media graphics, poster designs, logo concepts, and any visual that requires legible text as part of the composition.

Best for

Social media graphics with accurate headline text

Poster and event flyer designs with legible typography

Logo concept exploration with styled lettering

Book covers and album art requiring title text

Prompt tips for Ideogram

#1

Put the exact text you want rendered in quotation marks within your prompt: a motivational poster saying "You Are Enough"

#2

Specify font style descriptors like 'serif', 'handwritten', 'bold sans-serif', 'neon sign' to guide typography aesthetics

#3

Use the Magic Prompt toggle to let Ideogram expand sparse prompts into detailed generation instructions automatically

#4

Describe text placement explicitly: 'centered at top', 'bottom-left corner', 'overlaid on the sky area' for precise layout

Sample prompts

A motivational poster with the text "DO THE WORK" in large bold condensed sans-serif font, distressed texture, dark charcoal background, orange accent color, gritty athletic aesthetic, centered composition
A coffee shop chalkboard menu design with "DAILY SPECIALS" as the header, illustrated coffee cup and steam on the left, hand-lettered style, warm cream and dark brown colors
Album cover art for an indie folk band, watercolor forest illustration, the band name "The Hollow Pines" in elegant serif font at the top, muted green and amber palette, square format
