It is preselected below: put the exact text in quotes, describe the design around it, and pick a speed. 5 — credits per image, Turbo 9 — credits per image, Balanced 13 — credits per image, Quality 10 — free credits on sign-in ## Example prompts for Ideogram The same prompts are behind the “Try an example” button in the input box; each click loads the next one. ### Product shot Matte black ceramic mug on a pale linen surface, soft window light from the left, shallow depth of field, editorial product photography ### Portrait Close-up portrait of an older woman laughing, natural window light, film grain, 85mm lens, shallow depth of field ### Landscape Misty pine forest at dawn, low fog between the trunks, cold blue light, wide shot ## 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 Pick any of these from the Model menu above; the price is shown before you generate. Each name links to what that model is good at.

Ideogram is an AI image company whose models are known for rendering readable text inside images. Ideogram V3 is the version this page runs, through our model provider's API. ### ### Turbo, Balanced or Quality: what is the difference? It is a speed and detail setting on the same model. Turbo costs 5 credits and is for drafts, Balanced costs 9, Quality costs 13 and spends the most effort on detail. ### ### Is Ideogram free here? Every image costs credits: 5 on Turbo. New accounts get 10 credits on sign-in. Free-plan downloads carry a small watermark. ### ### Can I edit a photo with Ideogram? You can remix one: upload a picture and describe a new version. Remix reinterprets the whole image rather than changing one detail, so for precise edits such as swapping a background, FLUX.1 Kontext or Nano Banana are the better choice from the same model menu. ### ### Which aspect ratios are available? 1:1, 3:4, 9:16, 4:3, 16:9. Those are the sizes Ideogram V3 offers; for banners down to 1:8, use Nano Banana 2.1. ### ### What happens if a generation fails? You are only charged when an image comes back. A failed or timed-out run costs nothing. ## Put your words in the picture Ideogram V3 · Balanced is preselected in the generator above. Start with your free credits.
