Ideogram

Category: AI Image/Design

AI image generation that actually renders text correctly.

Ideogram is the image model that solved typography, you can prompt logos, posters, infographics, and ad creative with legible text inside, which DALL-E and Midjourney still fumble. That makes it the obvious pick for marketers generating thumbnails, headlines, social tiles, and any image where words matter. The 3.0 model added stronger style control and image-to-image editing. Free tier gives daily generations; paid tiers unlock priority queue and higher resolutions. Less of an aesthetic powerhouse than Midjourney, but for marketing assets where text legibility is the brief, it's the standout.
