Model Card

Ideogram 3.0 is a text-to-image generation model from Ideogram AI, built by a team of ex-Google engineers and launched in March 2025. It specializes in photorealistic image generation with industry-leading text rendering — producing accurate, stylized typography within images that competing models like Midjourney and DALL-E 3 struggle to match.

The model excels at graphic design tasks including posters, logos, marketing visuals, and layouts with complex or lengthy text compositions. It also supports Style References, allowing up to three reference images to guide output aesthetics for consistent branding across batches.

In human evaluations, Ideogram 3.0 achieved the highest ELO ratings against other text-to-image models across diverse prompts covering varied subjects, styles, and composition difficulty. It's a strong fit for developers building design, advertising, or content-generation pipelines where typographic accuracy and prompt adherence are critical.
