Ideogram 4 is an open-weight image model with accurate in-image text rendering. It solves a persistent AI image generation challenge: rendering readable, accurate text in images. When your image needs text that viewers can actually read, Ideogram 4 is the model to reach for. Most image generators struggle with typography, but Ideogram 4 was built specifically to handle text rendering accurately.

Why creators choose Ideogram 4

Ideogram 4 solves the hardest problem in AI image generation: rendering readable, accurate text. If your image needs text that's legible, Ideogram 4 delivers where other models fail. This specialization makes it invaluable for design-forward work where text is part of the composition.

Accurate in-image text rendering

Text in images is notoriously difficult for AI models. Ideogram 4 renders accurate, readable text consistently. It handles typography with care, keeping letterforms clean and text readable at any size, which is where most AI image models stumble.

Multilingual text support

Generate text in multiple languages accurately. Ideogram 4 handles English, Chinese, and other languages with similar precision, opening international possibilities for design work. Build campaigns across markets with reliable text.

Structured JSON prompting for control

Ideogram 4 supports JSON prompting, letting you specify layout precisely. Use bounding boxes to control where elements appear and explicit color palettes to lock down your visual direction. Structured control is built in. This level of control is uncommon in image models and makes Ideogram 4 powerful for creating designs where every element has an assigned place.

Native 2K resolution for sharp text

Generate at 2K natively for sharper text detail and higher overall quality. Text stays readable at scale because it's rendered at full resolution, not upsampled from lower resolution. This native resolution support is especially important for text-heavy designs where letterforms need to hold up under scrutiny.

Open-weight model you can use anywhere

Ideogram 4 is open-weight, meaning you can download the weights and run the model yourself. This flexibility opens possibilities beyond API use.

How to use Ideogram 4 in Craze

1. Start a project and describe the image you want to create, including any text that needs to appear.
2. Be specific about text content and placement. Describe the exact words, typeface (serif vs. sans-serif), weight, color, and position. Example: "Poster with event title in bold white sans-serif at the top, centered, against dark background."
3. Describe font details: serif vs. sans-serif, weight (bold, light), color, placement. Ideogram 4 responds to text specification. The more detail you provide about typography, the better the result.
4. Name Ideogram 4 and Craze uses it. If you don't name a model, Craze shows you compatible options with prices before planning.
5. Choose 1K or 2K resolution. 2K gives sharper text and higher overall quality.
6. Review the result. Regenerate if the text doesn't land, keep what works.

Text specificity wins with Ideogram 4. Describe the font, weight, color, and placement and it delivers readable, accurate type.
