Ideogram V4

It is the latest generation of Ideogram's text-to-image model, the family known for rendering accurate, legible typography directly inside images. It targets the design work that depends on readable copy, including logos, posters, packaging, and signage, and adds sharper detail and stronger prompt adherence over the previous generation.

They are three modes that trade latency and cost for fidelity on a per-generation basis. Turbo is the fastest and cheapest, well suited to rapid concept exploration. Balanced is the default for everyday production. Quality allocates the most compute per image for the highest-fidelity result, the right choice when an asset is going to print, client presentation, or publication.

Text rendering is the defining strength of the Ideogram family, and it is the reason to reach for this model. For short-to-medium copy such as product names, event titles, taglines, and headlines, it keeps lettering legible and correctly spelled where general-purpose image models frequently fail. For dense, long-form body copy it is best used to prove the typographic direction, then finalize precise text in a layout tool.

V4 is the newer generation and is positioned as an improvement in detail, prompt adherence, and overall image quality while preserving the family's core strength in text rendering. V3 remains available on Masonry in its Turbo and Quality variants. If you want the latest output quality, start with V4; if you have an established V3 workflow, both are accessible in the same canvas.

It supports a wide range of canvas dimensions, including 1:1 squares for social tiles, 16:9 and 16:10 widescreen, 9:16 and 4:5 portraits, and ultra-wide and ultra-tall panels for banners and signage. Choosing the dimension that matches the final placement avoids awkward cropping and keeps the composition intact.

It is well suited to logo concepts, wordmark exploration, and packaging mockups with accurate product names and headline copy. It produces raster images rather than editable vectors, so the typical workflow is to prove the concept, typography, and layout direction with the model, then redraw the final logo as a vector in a tool like Illustrator or Figma when production-ready SVG is required.

Prompt expansion is an optional step that interprets a short prompt and enriches it into a more detailed description before generation, which tends to add variety and polish. Leave it on when you want the model to flesh out a terse idea, and turn it off when you need literal, word-for-word control over exactly what appears in the scene.

Put the exact words you want rendered inside quotation marks, then describe the typographic style, color, and layout around them. Keep the copy short, since fewer words render more reliably, and keep the composition simple so the lettering stays crisp. For final assets, generate in Quality mode to maximize fidelity.

Open a Masonry canvas, pick Ideogram V4 from the model selector, and describe the image you need: a product shot, an ad creative, a social post. Masonry generates it, then you refine, edit, and combine Ideogram V4 with other models in one workspace.

Yes, you can start generating images with Ideogram V4 on Masonry's free tier, then scale up with higher limits and priority processing as your team grows.

Ideogram is the strongest family for legible text. Put the exact words in quotes, describe the typographic style and layout, and keep the copy short so the lettering stays crisp. Use Quality mode for anything headed to print or a client, and Turbo while you iterate.

Ideogram V4 is built by Ideogram. Inside Masonry it runs alongside 50+ image and video models, so your team can pick the right one for each brief without switching tools.
