Ideogram Prompts (Especially for Text-in-Image)

Illustration & Design Styles

Tips for Better Results
- Put the exact text you want rendered in quotation marks inside the prompt — this is what triggers Ideogram's text-rendering strength.
- Keep requested text short (a few words) — long sentences still degrade in legibility.
- Specify font style in words (bold sans-serif, script, geometric) since you can't pick an actual font file.
- Use it over other image generators specifically when the output needs to include real, readable words.
