🔤 How to use Ideogram v3 for text in images
Every other image model turns letters into gibberish. Ideogram v3 renders posters, packaging and slogans that actually read. Here's how to use it well.
Why Ideogram wins on typography
Ideogram v3 was trained specifically to render legible text at any scale — headlines, slogans, badges, product labels. If your brief includes words on the image, this is the switch.
The typography prompt
Put the exact text in quotes. 'Vintage travel poster with the text "Escape to Kyoto" in bold serif at the top, warm sunset gradient, minimalist art deco layout.' Ideogram treats quoted strings as literal typography.
Best use cases
Social ads with headlines, packaging mockups, event posters, merch, book covers, thumbnail concepts. Anywhere a word needs to look intentional instead of hallucinated.
When to pair with another model
Ideogram handles the layout with typography. For a photoreal hero image without text, use Flux 2 Pro. Two models, two jobs, one campaign.
