About this model

Ideogram 4.0 is Ideogram's most capable text-to-image model for design-heavy image generation. It is built for frontier text rendering across languages, structured prompt control through natural language or JSON, bounding-box layout control, transparent background generation, and high-fidelity 2K output. It is well suited to posters, branded graphics, packaging, product visuals, typography-led compositions, and other workflows where design precision matters as much as visual quality.
