Best for

Marketers and small businesses who need images with readable, correctly spelled text, like posters, thumbnails, ads and logo drafts.

Not great for

Keeping work private on the free plan, because private generation requires Plus or higher and free users only get slow weekly credits.

Recent change Jun 3, 2026: released Ideogram 4.0 as an open-weights model under a commercial licence (weights on GitHub and Hugging Face), now live on ideogram.ai and the API.

What it is

Ideogram is an image generator known for one thing most others still get wrong: readable, correctly spelled text inside images. That makes it a strong choice for posters, thumbnails, ads, social graphics and logo drafts.

The free plan gives weekly credits and allows commercial use, but your images are public; private generation needs Plus at $20 a month. In June 2026 Ideogram released its 4.0 model as open weights, so developers can also run it themselves.

Ideogram’s privacy policy says it uses your prompts to improve its products and does not describe a way to opt out, so avoid putting anything confidential into a prompt.

Limited free plan: Weekly slow credits for eligible accounts (amount not stated); no private generations; commercial use permitted.

Your data

Ideogram's privacy policy says it uses your prompts and other inputs to improve and develop its products and names no training opt-out; images can be public on the site, and private generation requires the Plus plan or higher.
