Ideogram is an AI image generation model known for producing the best text rendering in AI-generated images. It can generate logos, posters, signs, book covers, and any visual with legible, accurately spelled text — something most other AI image models struggle with. It supports text-to-image generation, image editing, remix (style transfer), and reframe (outpainting).

Why is Ideogram the best at text in images?

Ideogram was specifically trained to understand and render typography within images. While most AI models treat text as visual noise, Ideogram has a dedicated text understanding architecture that ensures characters are properly formed, spelled correctly, and visually integrated into the scene. This makes it the top choice for any design work requiring text.

What is Ideogram Character mode?

Ideogram Character mode maintains consistent character appearance across multiple image generations. Upload reference images to lock a character's identity — facial features, clothing, style — then generate that character in different scenes, poses, and settings. It's ideal for brand mascots, storyboards, and visual narratives.

What is Ideogram Remix?

Ideogram Remix lets you upload a reference image and transform it using a new text prompt while preserving the core composition and layout. You can change the artistic style, color palette, or mood without losing the structural elements of the original image — perfect for iterating on designs or creating style variations.

What is Ideogram Reframe?

Ideogram V3 Reframe is an AI outpainting tool that extends images beyond their original borders. Change aspect ratios (e.g., square to widescreen), expand backgrounds, or add more context to any edge of the image. The AI seamlessly generates matching content that blends with the original.

How does Ideogram compare to Midjourney?

Both are top-tier AI image generators, but they excel in different areas. Ideogram leads in text rendering (signs, logos, posters) and offers Remix/Reframe tools. Midjourney excels at artistic quality, aesthetic coherence, and has a more mature community. For designs requiring text, Ideogram is the clear choice. For pure artistic output, Midjourney often produces more visually striking results.

Can I use Ideogram for logo design?

Yes. Ideogram is one of the best AI models for logo exploration and brand identity concepts. Its text rendering accuracy means brand names appear clean and legible. Use it for rapid prototyping of logo ideas, then refine the best concepts in vector software. The Character mode helps maintain brand consistency across assets.

How much does Ideogram cost?

On our platform, Ideogram is available with pay-as-you-go credits. Ideogram Character (text-to-image) and Character Edit/Remix (image-to-image) cost 18 credits per generation. Ideogram V3 Reframe costs 7 credits per generation. We offer free trial credits to get started — no subscription required.

What types of content work best with Ideogram?

Ideogram excels at: typography-heavy designs (posters, banners, social media graphics), logo and brand identity concepts, product photography with text labels, book and album covers, signage and storefront mockups, and any image that requires accurate text rendering. It also performs well on photorealistic scenes, character illustrations, and editorial content.

What are the best Ideogram alternatives?

Top alternatives include Midjourney (artistic quality, community), Flux 2 (open-source, prompt adherence), DALL-E (OpenAI integration, editing), Recraft V3 (vector graphics, icons), and Stable Diffusion 3.5 (open-source, customizable). For text rendering specifically, Ideogram remains the leader — other models are catching up but still produce text errors more frequently.
