Ideogram 4.5 Online, AI Typography and Iterative Editing

Edit after edit

Five edits in a row. No drift.

This is Ideogram 4.5's headline. Each step below edits the previous step's result, not the original: remove, repaint, add, reupholster, relight. The woman, the window, the table and the floor do not blur, drift or change color along the way; only the thing asked for changes. Pick a step and drag the divider.

Step 1: the laptop corner in the foreground removed by an Ideogram 4.5 edit

A sunlit loft with a young woman reading on a white sofa, made with Ideogram 4.5

Edit 1, made on step 0

Edit image 1: remove the laptop corner in the bottom-left foreground and continue the oak floor there. Keep everything else exactly the same.

All prompts

Step 0, the first picture

Sunlit loft apartment interior, wide shot: a young woman sitting cross-legged on a plain white sofa reading a book, white walls, a large factory-style window on the right, light oak floor, a low wooden coffee table with a glass of water, nothing on the walls, calm morning light, interior photography.

Step 1, remove

Edit image 1: remove the laptop corner in the bottom-left foreground and continue the oak floor there. Keep everything else exactly the same.

Step 2, repaint

Edit image 1: paint the back wall sage green #9CAF88. Keep everything else exactly the same: the woman, the sofa, the table, the window, the floor and the light.

Step 3, add

Edit image 1: add a large monstera plant in a terracotta pot on the floor to the left of the sofa. Keep everything else exactly the same.

Step 4, reupholster

Edit image 1: change the sofa upholstery from white to terracotta velvet #C4643D. Keep everything else exactly the same.

Step 5, relight

Edit image 1: change the light to a warm evening: the sun has set, the window shows a dusky blue sky, and a warm floor lamp now stands behind the sofa and lights the room. Keep everything else exactly the same.

Text edits

Change the words, keep the design.

Swap a word on a label, recolor a brand by hex, translate a shop front, put a new product in the same shot. Name the change, quote any new words, and list what stays. Drag the divider to compare.

A cold brew bottle labelled NORTH ROAST COLD BREW Original, held against a sunny wall, before an Ideogram 4.5 edit

Prompts

Crisp summer light, product lifestyle photo.

The same prompt and the same inputs at 2K on Ideogram 4.5 (Medium), FLUX 3, Nano Banana 2 and GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst at its high setting. All four set the text right; where they differ is layout, framing and how much each adds on its own.

A text-heavy poster

Every model got every line right. Ideogram set the headline over two lines on a black layout; FLUX tinted the photo lime; Nano Banana 2 was the most literal; GPT Image 2.5 added slogans and icons of its own, and a sportswear logo, which its own follow-up edit removed for the frame shown.

Three references, one ad

Edits that respect the design

Change one word on a label and it keeps its lettering. Recolor a brand by hex, or put a new product in the same lifestyle shot.

Prompt guide

How to prompt Ideogram 4.5.

Ideogram reads copy literally and layout in reading order. Quote every word, give brand colors as hex, and for an edit start with "Edit image 1", then the one change, then what stays.

The shape

Format: poster, label, menu, ad, photo
Copy: every word in quotes, top to bottom
Hierarchy: headline, subline, body, footer
Picture: subject, setting, light
Color: hex codes for brand colors
Edit: Edit image 1, the change, what stays

A worked example

Edit image 1: on the bottle label, change
the script word "Original" to "Oat Vanilla",
in the same script lettering, color and
size. Keep everything else exactly the
same: "NORTH ROAST", "COLD BREW", the
bottle, the hand and the shadows.

Quote the copy

Every word that should appear goes in double quotes, in the order it reads. Words you leave out of quotes are where mistakes happen.

Say the hierarchy

Headline, then subline, then body, then footer. Describing the order is how the layout comes out the way a designer would set it.

Hex for brand colors

A code like #1F4D3A lands the color you mean, on the box and on the type separately if you ask.

One change per edit

Edit, look, edit again. Each step can build on the last result without the rest of the picture drifting.

Start on Low

Low is free and already gets the words right. Move to Medium or High when small print and light need the extra care.

Image 1 sets the shape

From words you pick the ratio. With images attached the result takes the first image's shape and size, so attach your main photo first.

FAQ

Before you generate.

Last verified 2 Oct 2026

What is Ideogram 4.5 best at?

Pictures where the words matter, such as posters, packaging, menus, logos and social ads, and editing a picture several times over. Each edit changes what you name and leaves the rest alone, so you can work in steps instead of starting over.

Can I edit the same image again and again?

Yes. Press Edit on a result, describe one change, then edit that result again. Our five-step test (remove, repaint, add, reupholster, relight) kept the person, the window and the floor unchanged throughout. Name what should stay in each prompt.

What is the difference between Low, Medium and High?

Effort, not size: all three render 2K from words. Low (2 credits, free plan) already gets the copy right; Medium (3) and High (5, or 8 with an image attached) add finer detail, small type and richer light.

Can Ideogram 4.5 write text in other languages?

Yes. Our six-language poster (English, Spanish, German, Korean, Chinese and Japanese) came out correct. Put the exact words in quotes; small text you did not ask for can still come out garbled.

How many reference images can I use?

Up to five, referred to as image 1 to image 5 in the order you attached them: a person, products, a place, or a look to borrow. With images attached, the result takes the first image's shape and size.

Ideogram 4.5, FLUX 3, Nano Banana 2 or GPT Image 2.5?

All four set our test poster's text correctly and tied on a label rebrand. Pick Ideogram 4.5 for typography at a low price, a free tier that already writes clean copy, and long chains of edits.

Is Ideogram 4.5 free to use?

Its Low tier is on the free plan at 2 credits an image, so the 10 signup credits cover 5 images. Medium and High need a paid plan. No Ideogram account or API key is involved.
