• Product shot

  Matte black ceramic mug on a pale linen surface, soft window light from the left, shallow depth of field, editorial product photography

Why Ideogram on AI Image Tools

• Words that come out spelled right

  Headlines, labels, logos and signs are what Ideogram is for. Short text in quotes is the job it was designed around, rather than an afterthought.

• Three speeds, one model

  Turbo at 5 credits for drafts, Balanced at 9 for most work, Quality at 13 when the final file matters. Same prompt, same model; the speed setting trades time for detail.

• Remix a picture you already have

  Upload an image and describe a new version: a different style, a new headline, another colourway. Remix reinterprets the whole picture, so for small precise edits use FLUX.1 Kontext or Nano Banana instead.

• Pay only for what comes back

  Credits are charged when an image is delivered. A failed or timed-out run costs nothing.

Every image model in one place

How to write a prompt for Ideogram

• Quote the text

  Write the words exactly as they should appear, in quotes: a poster that says "SUMMER SALE 50% OFF".

• Keep it short

  A headline and a line or two beat a paragraph. Long passages are where any image model starts to slip.

• Name the typography

  Bold sans-serif, hand-lettered script, retro neon sign: the style of the letters is part of the prompt.

• Draft on Turbo

  Get the layout and the wording right at Turbo, then rerun the same prompt on Quality.
