About Ideogram

Ideogram solved the one problem every other AI image generator struggles with: putting readable text on images. While Midjourney and DALL-E produce gibberish when you ask for a poster with a headline, Ideogram renders clean typography about 90% of the time. For marketers who create social graphics, event flyers, ad banners, and product mockups, this is a practical superpower. Version 3.0 added style references where you can upload up to 3 images to match an existing brand aesthetic, plus a library of 4.3 billion random styles you can browse and save. The Canvas editor lets you refine, extend, or inpaint specific areas without regenerating the whole image. Magic Prompt auto-expands simple descriptions into detailed scenes, which speeds up the ideation process for marketing teams running through multiple concepts. The free tier gives you limited generations with public visibility. The Plus plan at $20/mo (or $15/mo annual) provides 1,000 priority credits plus unlimited slow generations. Pro at $60/mo (or $42/mo annual) bumps to 3,500 priority credits with batch generation up to 500 prompts via CSV. The Team plan at $30/user/mo is designed for agencies and in-house teams. Ideogram is not going to replace Midjourney for photorealistic art, but for functional marketing graphics where the text needs to be right, nothing else comes close.
