Ideogram 4.0 is now available in Picsart Flow

Ideogram 4.0 just landed in Picsart Flow. It is Ideogram’s most capable text-to-image model yet, built for design, with frontier text rendering across languages, precise layout control, transparent backgrounds, and sharp 2K photorealistic output. Picsart is a launch partner, so you can create with the model inside Picsart Flow from day one. Type a prompt, and Ideogram 4.0 turns it into a polished, ready-to-use design.

What is Ideogram 4.0?

Ideogram 4.0 is Ideogram’s most capable text-to-image model, designed to sit at the forefront of design work. It renders frontier-quality text across languages, follows detailed layout instructions, and outputs photorealistic images at 2K. It also ships with open weights, closing the quality gap between closed frontier image models and the open ecosystem. Every output is 2K x 2K, or about 4 million pixels for other aspect ratios.

What’s new in Ideogram 4.0

Version 4.0 raises the bar across the things designers care about most:

• Frontier multilingual text rendering, including dense small text and natural handwritten text.
• Bounding-box layout control, so you can direct where objects and text land.
• Transparent backgrounds, ready to drop straight into a design.
• 2K photorealistic output, always at 2K x 2K resolution.
• Open weights with a commercial-use license, plus an API, so teams can build on the model.
• Structured JSON prompts for controllable, repeatable results.

How Ideogram 4.0 is different

Ideogram 4.0 is now the best open-weight image generation model. It sits in the same performance band as Google DeepMind’s Gemini 3.0 Pro Image Gen (2K) and Gemini 3.1 Flash Image Gen, all while being fully open weight.

• Open by design. It ships with open weights, closing the quality gap between closed frontier image models and the open ecosystem, and teams can fine-tune it on their own brand and product data.
• Text that actually reads. Frontier text rendering across languages handles dense small text, natural handwriting, and even inverted text, where many models still struggle.
• Control you can repeat. Structured JSON prompts give explicit control over the description, composition, and individual elements, so a strong result is reproducible rather than a lucky roll.
• Consistently high resolution. Every output lands at 2K x 2K, about 4 million pixels, with no separate upscaling step.

What you can create with Ideogram 4.0

Because 4.0 handles text and composition this well, it opens up work that usually trips up image models:

• High-fidelity 2K visuals packed with dense, small, legible text, for posters, packaging, and infographics.
• Designs with natural handwritten text, for a human, hand-made feel.
• Hyper-realistic scenes that follow detailed instructions about tens of objects and precise composition, even rendering inverted text.
• Stylistic designs with transparent backgrounds, ready for logos, stickers, and overlays.
• Versatile, rich styles and one-of-a-kind designs across any brief.

How to use Ideogram 4.0 in Picsart Flow

Getting started takes seconds, with no setup and nothing to install:

1. Open Picsart Flow.
2. Select Ideogram 4.0 as your model.
3. Enter a natural-language prompt or a structured JSON prompt.
4. Generate at 2K, then refine the layout, text, or style.

Frequently asked questions

What is Ideogram 4.0?

Ideogram 4.0 is Ideogram’s most capable text-to-image model, built for design, with frontier multilingual text rendering, layout control, transparent backgrounds, and 2K photorealistic output.

 

Is Ideogram 4.0 open source?

It ships with open weights and a license for commercial use of the weights, alongside an API. Teams can fine-tune 4.0 on their own brand and product data and deploy it in their own environment, so the weights, training data, and every inference call stay on their infrastructure.

What resolution does Ideogram 4.0 output?

Always 2K x 2K, or about 4 million pixels for other aspect ratios.

How do I prompt Ideogram 4.0?

Type a natural-language prompt or a structured JSON prompt. Magic Prompt expands natural language into the JSON the model uses, giving you control over the description, composition, and individual elements.

Is the open-weight model the same as Ideogram's API model?

The open-weight model is the most powerful open-weight text-to-image model available, but slightly lower quality than the model served on the Ideogram API. A more powerful private model is also available for licensing.

Where can I use Ideogram 4.0?

You can use Ideogram 4.0 inside Picsart Flow, where you can prompt and generate with no setup.

Can Ideogram 4.0 render text in other languages?

Yes. It offers frontier text rendering across languages, including dense small text and natural handwritten text.

How does Ideogram 4.0 compare to other image models?

Ideogram 4.0 is the best open-weight image generation model, sitting in the same performance band as Google DeepMind’s Gemini 3.0 Pro Image Gen (2K) and Gemini 3.1 Flash Image Gen, while remaining fully open weight.
