Ideogram 4.5 is an image generation model built for poster headlines, logo wordmarks and bilingual label text, with low, medium and high quality, six size presets and up to 8 images per request. It suits event posters, brand wordmarks, packaging and covers—any design work that needs clear text in the image.
POSTERS · LOGOS · TYPOGRAPHY
Prompts work best in four parts: first say what image to make; then the exact text (in quotes), colors and details; then the layout to keep, such as which line is the headline, which is small print and where each goes; and finally the finish and limits, such as crisp lettering and no extra text.
There are only a few parameters: quality is low, medium or high, image_size is one of six presets, enable_prompt_expansion lets the model expand your prompt, num_images returns 1–8 images, and seed reproduces a result.
All five images below were generated by HiAPI with Ideogram 4.5 at the low tier, with no retouching, and each comes with its full prompt.
Five low-tier results: a poster, a wordmark, an event poster, bilingual packaging and a magazine cover.
The bold DESIGN FORWARD fills the frame while Typography Summit 2026 sits clearly smaller below, so the two levels read at a glance. Ideogram 4.5 sets the quoted text word for word and keeps the Swiss-grid spacing and alignment; this one was made at low quality in landscape_16_9. It suits event key visuals, web banners, talk title slides and launch posters.

Ember & Oak is set in hand-drawn serif lettering, and the ampersand, bean emblem and SMALL BATCH ROASTERS tagline all stay readable. Ideogram 4.5 returns 1–8 images per request (num_images), so you can explore directions at low and render the chosen one at high. It suits wordmark drafts and pitches for cafés, studios, personal brands and new product lines.
Elegant wordmark logo for a specialty coffee shop called "Ember & Oak", hand-drawn serif lettering with a small coffee bean emblem, tagline "Small Batch Roasters" beneath, cream background, dark brown ink, centered, vector style
The NEON NIGHTS title, subtitle, AUG 22-24 date and LUNA VEX · KAIRO · SOLSTICE lineup all appear, stepping down clearly in size. Ideogram 4.5 sizes and places each line by the role the prompt gives it; this one was made at low quality in portrait_16_9. It suits phone posters, social stories and long event graphics for festivals, fairs and promotions.
Vibrant music festival poster, large title "NEON NIGHTS", subtitle "Electronic Music Festival", date line "AUG 22-24", lineup text "LUNA VEX · KAIRO · SOLSTICE", retro synthwave sunset, magenta and cyan gradients, clear typographic hierarchy
The tea tin label carries the large Chinese 山茶 next to the English MOUNTAIN TEA, and the wood grain, metal sheen and leaves look natural. Ideogram 4.5 handles mixed Chinese and English text in one prompt; large Chinese headlines usually come out right, and medium or high is better for small Chinese text. It suits bilingual packaging, product labels and ecommerce hero images for tea, food and beauty.

The LUMIÈRE masthead keeps even its accent, and the THE FUTURE OF COLOR and AUTUMN ISSUE 2026 cover lines sit over the street portrait. Ideogram 4.5 arranges the photo and several text blocks together, and square_hd at low quality is enough for a complete cover layout. It suits magazine and podcast covers, event posters and social cards.

The two models split the work: Ideogram 4.5 creates images from text, and Ideogram 4.5 Edit changes an existing image.
| Aspect | Ideogram 4.5 | Ideogram 4.5 Edit |
|---|---|---|
| Input | Prompt only | Source image + instruction, optional references and mask |
| Quality | low / medium / high | regular: very_low–high; Precise: low–high |
| Size | 6 presets | auto or 6 presets (auto only with a mask or Precise) |
| Prompt expansion | Yes | No |
| Typical use | Posters, logos, covers | Text changes, recolors, local repaints |
When to choose Ideogram 4.5: pick it when you need a poster, wordmark or cover with clear text from scratch, because it sets quoted text word for word. If you already have an image and only want to change the text or one area, use Ideogram 4.5 Edit.
Lay out the title, date and venue in one go, and use num_images to compare several directions.
Explore wordmark directions at low, then render the chosen one at high.
Generate label, sign and menu text together with the product shot.
Magazine and podcast covers and social cards, with six sizes covering square, landscape and portrait.
Billed per output image at the selected quality tier's rate; num_images multiplies it. Size and prompt expansion do not change the price.
See the live price at the top of this page and on the pricing page.
Write the quoted text, pick a size and quality in the Playground and run; then call /v1/tasks with the same parameters.
Images that need clear text. Posters, logos and wordmarks, packaging labels, signage and magazine covers are its strengths.
Put the exact words in quotes. Then say whether each line is a headline, subtitle or small print, plus placement and type feel; shorter text is more reliable.
Use four parts: the task, the text and details, the layout to keep, and the finish and limits. For example: ① Create a conference poster. ② Headline "DESIGN FORWARD", subtitle "Typography Summit 2026", orange and navy palette. ③ Keep the headline centered and the subtitle clearly smaller. ④ Crisp lettering, flat print look; do not add any other text.
Use medium for everyday work, low for exploring and high for finals. Each tier has its own price, and high has the most detail for fine print.
Six presets: square, square_hd (default), portrait_4_3, landscape_4_3, portrait_16_9 and landscape_16_9. Custom sizes are not offered here.
No. Billing is per image and only quality changes the rate; num_images multiplies it.
It lets the model expand your prompt before drawing, and it is on by default. Keep it on for short prompts; turn it off when the layout must follow your text strictly.
Up to 8. num_images accepts 1–8, so you can compare several layouts in one request.
Pass a fixed seed. Keep the prompt, size and quality unchanged as well.
Large Chinese headlines usually come out right, but small Chinese text can slip at low. Use medium or high when it matters.
No, this model takes text only. To modify an existing image, use Ideogram 4.5 Edit (ideogram-v4.5/image-to-image).
HiAPI generated every example with Ideogram 4.5, with no retouching. They use low quality and num_images=1, and each prompt is shown with its case.
