Change a headline or visual direction using the original design and references as guidance.Typography built into the image
Put the exact headline in your prompt and describe its style and placement. Ideogram emphasizes in-image text for posters, packaging and logos, where the lettering is part of the design rather than an afterthought.
- •Prompt for exact headline wording
- •Describe serif, sans-serif or hand-lettered type
- •Place text within a complete visual layout
- •Explore posters, labels and wordmarks
Edit designs with image references
Start with the image you want to change, then add references for a product, logo, style or other visual direction. Describe the change in plain language; Ideogram presents V4.5 as a model designed to reduce unwanted visual drift during edits.
- •Add the image to edit first
- •Include up to 4 additional reference images
- •Swap wording or restyle a layout
- •Keep the first image's shape by default
Layouts for different design formats
Choose a shape suited to a poster, social graphic, label concept or wide banner. Selecting an aspect ratio when editing also re-frames the result instead of keeping the first image's shape.
- •Square, portrait and landscape options
- •Wide and tall compositions
- •About 4 megapixels at each shape's largest size
- •Aspect-ratio selection for edit reframing
Seed and quality controls
Use a seed to reproduce a result or vary it deliberately while exploring a direction. Choose Low, Medium or High quality to match the level of detail you need; higher quality takes longer.
- •Reproduce a result with its seed
- •Explore deliberate variations
- •Choose Low, Medium or High quality
- •Use Medium as the default
