Ideogram

Overview

Ideogram is a text-to-image maker which stands out in text handling text. That’s handy if you’re making logos, posters or social pics. It also comes with Magic Prompt that sharpens up your idea. You can pick styles like Realistic, Anime, 3D Design. There’s also Canvas which lets you edit or upscale the image.

The crew behind it left Google Brain and started Ideogram Inc in 2022. First version dropped in August 2023 after raising $16.5M. Version 1.0 showed up in Feb 2024 after raising another $80M. Then came version 2.0 in August 2024 with more styles and faster output. Update 2a landed Feb 2025 with even quicker graphics. The newest version 3.0 launched March 2025 with better photo-like images and more detailed text layout.

And by August 2025 they've dropped their foundational character consistency model. It’s called Ideogram Character and works off just one reference pic. It’s free for everyone for now.

It’s claimed this model handles multiple consistent characters in one image using masking. You can put the same face in different scenes, moods or styles. Just upload a pic or selfie, write your prompt, hit generate. You can also pick a template and make cool variations fast.

Need to drop your character into a scene? Use Magic Fill. Just upload any image, pick Magic Fill, mark where the character should go, add your reference, and click generate. Your character shows up in the scene.

Want to match a style from another image? Try Remix. Upload an image with the look you like, describe it, add your character reference and generate. Your character keeps their distinct features but fits the new style just right.
