Ideogram 4.0 on Geneso: AI image generator.

Ideogram released Ideogram 4.0 as an open-weight image model. Its maker highlights text across languages for headlines, packaging and signs, as well as photoreal output at 2K. On Geneso it takes a text prompt, so describe the image and the words you want in plain language. This page focuses on the options available in that generator.

Text is part of the visual brief, not a separate proofreading step. Say which words should appear, where they belong and how prominent they should be. A headline at the top of a poster needs different instructions from a small line on a product label. Review both the spelling and the layout at the size where the image will be used.

The maker describes strong text rendering, but an individual result can still add or change words. The travel poster in the hero includes the requested lines and an extra line that was not requested. The sauce label has a clear headline, while its smaller lines are very small. These examples make the need for review visible rather than hiding it.

Ideogram also highlights photoreal output. You can ask for a product photograph, an illustrated poster or a menu, then specify materials, lighting and the relationship between text and objects. Geneso offers several aspect ratios; the live strip shows the current largest size. Choose the shape of the image for its destination before refining decorative details.

Open the image generator. The buttons here preselect Ideogram 4.0. Write in English or Spanish; you do not need a separate Ideogram account to use it on Geneso.

The Antigua travel poster asks for two lines and a screen-print treatment. Both requested lines appeared, but the model added a small extra line. The hot sauce prompt places a headline, supporting label and volume around an illustrated chili. Its headline is clear, but the smaller text is very small.

The chalkboard prompt lists a title, three menu items and small drawings. The lines appeared, but the banana bread drawing resembles a die. The cycling poster asks for a headline, two smaller lines and a coastal scene. These are individual takes, not a guarantee that another run will reproduce the same spelling or composition.

Open the original prompts and notice how the wording separates the content from the visual treatment. When adapting one, quote each required line and specify its relative size or location. After generating, proofread everything that appears, including text you did not request, before using the image in a design.

The live table compares the largest size, number of aspect ratios, default credits per image and plan access. Each credit figure uses that model’s own default request. These catalog fields help you choose a format and budget; they do not measure lettering accuracy or rank the models.

For another image workflow, explore FLUX 3 or GPT Image 2.5. The Geneso vs Krea comparison looks at platforms instead. Use the same text and layout brief when testing models, record the settings and review every line in each result.

An image at default settings costs 50 credits. Ideogram 4.0 is available on the Free plan. Check the generator’s estimate before you generate, especially after changing quality or format.

The Free plan includes 300 welcome credits and 50 daily credits. Free accounts use the smallest size and Low quality. A paid plan or any credit purchase unlocks larger sizes and higher quality where the model offers them. Compare your balance with the estimate.
