How to Use Ideogram 3.0 for Text in Images

Ideogram 3.0 is one of the best models for rendering readable text inside images - logos, posters, signage. This guide shows how to use Ideogram 3.0 for text in images on forvideo.ai.

Step 1 - Put the text in quotes
Wrap the exact words in quotes so the model knows what to render:
A vintage travel poster that says "VISIT MARS" in bold retro lettering, muted 1960s palette.
Step 2 - Describe the type style
Name the lettering style - bold, serif, retro, handwritten - and where it sits in the layout. Ideogram follows type direction better than most models.
Step 3 - Keep text short
A few words render cleanly. Long paragraphs still break down, so keep headlines tight.
Step 4 - Iterate on layout
If spacing is off, restate the composition - "centered headline, subtitle below". Regenerate until the layout locks.
Best uses
- Posters and flyers.
- Logo and badge concepts.
- Social graphics with headlines.
