Model Card

Ideogram V4 Balanced is the mid-tier variant of Ideogram 4.0, a text-to-image model from Ideogram AI. It sits between the Turbo and Quality tiers on speed and cost.

Ideogram 4.0 improves on 3.0 in image-prompt alignment, photorealism, and text rendering, which remains the model's main strength for multi-line and multilingual text inside images. It accepts either plain-language prompts or structured JSON prompts, supports higher output resolutions than earlier versions, applies Magic Prompt automatically, and offers optional copyright detection after generation.

It suits developers building design, marketing, branding, book cover, and product mockup pipelines that need legible typography at moderate cost per image.

Ideogram 4.5 Precise Edit

Ideogram 4.5 Precise Edit is an image editing model from Ideogram AI, the editing variant of Ideogram 4.5, released on September 30, 2026. It takes a source image and a natural-language instruction, and changes only the requested area while restoring the remaining pixels from the source. Because unchanged framing, color, and texture are preserved, edits can be chained across many rounds with little drift. It accepts an optional mask, up to four reference images, prompts up to 10,000 characters, quality tiers from low to very high, 1 to 8 outputs per request, and a seed for reproducible edits. Output keeps the source dimensions, shown at up to 4,016 x 6,016. It suits developers building retouching, product and color change, and multi-step design revision workflows through the API.

Ideogram V3 Balanced

Ideogram V3 Balanced is the mid-tier variant of Ideogram V3, released by Ideogram AI in March 2025 with improvements in realism, style control, and layout generation over the V2 line. It supports style references, letting users upload up to three images to guide color, texture, and mood, and it renders long or stylized text phrases with precision for design and marketing work. In human evaluations, Ideogram V3 ranked highest by ELO score among image generation models for realism, alignment, and versatility. Balanced trades some speed for higher fidelity than Turbo, while generating faster than Quality. It fits most production design and marketing work where neither maximum speed nor maximum fidelity is the sole priority.

Ideogram V3 Quality

Ideogram V3 Quality is the highest-fidelity variant of Ideogram AI's V3 model, for work where output quality matters more than generation time or cost. Like the rest of the V3 line, it supports style references from up to three uploaded images, precise text rendering for graphic design, and detailed spatial composition with control over lighting and color. In human evaluations, Ideogram V3 ranked highest by ELO score among image generation models for realism, alignment, and versatility. It's the slowest and most expensive of the three V3 tiers, priced above Balanced and Turbo. It suits graphic design, advertising, branding, and product photography work that needs the most detail Ideogram V3 can produce, and can tolerate longer generation times.
