Overview

Ideogram 4.0 — Typography and Layout Image Generator

Ideogram 4.0 generates design-ready images with crisp typography, precise layouts, and polished photoreal detail — built for creatives where the text has to be readable, not decorative. Prizmad ships it as a built-in tool: write a prompt with your exact headline, pick a size, generate.

Background

What is Ideogram 4.0?

Ideogram 4.0 is an image generation model focused on design work: posters, ad creatives, promo graphics, and product visuals where typography and layout matter as much as the imagery. Where many image models treat text as an afterthought, Ideogram 4.0 is prompted with the exact words, composition, and typographic style you want, and renders them with design-grade precision.

You control the output with practical levers. Three quality tiers — Fast for drafts, Balanced as the default, Quality for final typography and detail. A prompt expansion setting (Medium or Large) that turns short prompts into richer creative direction. Size presets for square, portrait, and landscape formats, or fully custom dimensions from 512 to 2048 pixels per side within a 4-megapixel area. And for teams that trained a custom style with the Ideogram V4 LoRA Trainer, an advanced option applies those trained weights with an adjustable strength slider, so every generation stays on brand.

On Prizmad, Ideogram 4.0 uses the same token balance as AI avatars, video, voiceover, captions, and music. No separate Ideogram account, no API key — you generate from your normal token balance, and every image is yours to use commercially.

Product launch visuals

Promo graphics and banners

App store promos, sale banners, and social graphics with sharp UI-inspired layouts and balanced negative space — sized exactly via custom dimensions.

Regenerate one concept across square, 9:16, and 16:9 presets so a single idea covers feed, Stories, and display placements.

Capabilities

Key capabilities

Crisp typography

Renders headlines, subtitles, and layout text sharply inside the image — prompt the exact wording in quotes and describe the type style you want.

Precise layout control

Follows composition instructions — centered product, balanced negative space, editorial layouts — for design-ready posters and promo graphics.

Three quality tiers

Fast for quick drafts, Balanced for everyday work, Quality for final assets where typography and fine detail need maximum polish.

Prompt expansion

Expands short prompts into richer image directions. Medium is faster; Large adds more detailed creative direction and may use more tokens.

Custom sizes up to 4 MP

Use standard presets (Square HD, 9:16, 16:9, 4:3, 3:4) or set exact custom dimensions from 512 to 2048 px per side within a 4-megapixel area.

Trained LoRA styles

Apply custom weights trained with the Ideogram V4 LoRA Trainer and dial the strength from 0 to 4 to keep generations consistent with your brand style.

Workflow

How to use Ideogram 4.0 on Prizmad

1

Write a prompt (up to 5,000 characters) describing the image, exact text, composition, typography, and layout. Quote the words you want rendered — for example: a poster with the headline "MORNING RITUAL" in bold serif type.

2

Pick a quality tier: Fast for drafts, Balanced (the default) for most work, Quality when the final typography and detail matter most.

3

Set prompt expansion to Medium for speed or Large for richer creative direction on short prompts.

4

Choose a size — presets cover Square HD, Square, Portrait 4:3, Portrait 9:16, Landscape 4:3, and Landscape 16:9 — or switch to Custom Size and enter exact pixel dimensions (512–2048 px per side, within 4 megapixels).

5

Set the number of images (1–4; each is billed separately) and the output format (JPEG or PNG).

6

Optional: enable 'Use trained LoRA' in advanced settings, paste the weights URL from a completed Ideogram V4 LoRA Trainer run, and adjust the LoRA strength. A seed value makes results repeatable.

7

Click Generate. Results typically arrive in about 1–3 minutes and are saved to your asset library.

Pricing

How Ideogram 4.0 fits Prizmad pricing

Pay per image

Ideogram 4.0 is listed at 3 tokens per generation, and each image in a multi-image run is billed separately. The Large prompt expansion setting may use more tokens. Tokens come from your token balance.

Available for tokens

Ideogram 4.0 is unlocked on the same token balance you use for AI avatars, video, voiceover, and music — no separate Ideogram account, no API key setup, no extra billing.

LoRA generations priced separately

Generating with custom trained weights uses separate image pricing from standard runs. Training itself is a one-time cost in the Ideogram V4 LoRA Trainer; if tokens run dry, a one-off top-up covers it without an upgrade.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Ideogram 4.0 free to use?

No — each generation consumes tokens from your Prizmad balance, listed at 3 tokens per generation with each image billed separately. There's no separate Ideogram account or API key needed; it's available for Prizmad tokens alongside the platform's other tools.

Can I use Ideogram 4.0 images commercially?

Yes. Images you generate with Ideogram 4.0 on Prizmad are yours to use commercially — in paid ads, on landing pages, in listings, and in printed materials.

How do I get text to render correctly?

Put the exact wording in quotes inside your prompt and describe the typography and placement — for example: 'headline "GLOW DAILY" in crisp bold type, centered above the bottle'. For final assets, switch the quality tier to Quality, which is slower but best for typography and fine detail.

What image sizes does Ideogram 4.0 support?

Presets cover Square HD, Square, Portrait 4:3, Portrait 9:16, Landscape 4:3, and Landscape 16:9. Custom mode accepts exact dimensions from 512 to 2048 pixels per side, as long as the total area stays within 4 megapixels.

How do I use a custom trained style with Ideogram 4.0?

First train a LoRA with the Ideogram V4 LoRA Trainer on Prizmad. Then, in Ideogram 4.0's advanced settings, enable 'Use trained LoRA', paste the .safetensors weights URL from the completed training run, and set the LoRA strength (0–4) to control how strongly the trained style affects the output. Note that LoRA inference uses separate image pricing.

How is Ideogram 4.0 different from Seedream 5.0 Pro on Prizmad?

Both specialize in text-heavy design work. Ideogram 4.0 offers quality tiers, prompt expansion, exact custom pixel sizes, seeds, and trained LoRA styles at 3 tokens per generation. Seedream 5.0 Pro adds a precise edit mode with up to 10 reference images and a cheaper draft tier from 1 token per image. Generate polished designs from scratch with Ideogram; edit existing creatives with Seedream.

How long does a generation take?

Typically about 1–3 minutes. The Fast quality tier is quickest for drafts; Quality takes longer but delivers the best typography and detail. Generations run asynchronously and land in your asset library when done.

Can I reproduce a result I liked?

Yes — set a seed in the advanced settings. Using the same seed with the same prompt and settings produces repeatable results, which is useful for iterating on a composition you've already approved.
