# Ideogram 4.5 text in images > Start with your exact words. See a poster, a product label and a rewritten date line, including the extra text the model added. Source: https://ideogram45.online/ideogram-4-5-text-in-images · Updated: 2026-10-11 · Publisher: Ideogram45 (independent; not affiliated with Ideogram) ## Can Ideogram 4.5 put readable text in an image? In our three runs with words, yes. A poster title and its smaller line, a two-line tin label, and a rewritten poster line all came out spelled as quoted. The model also invented text: the poster gained “RIVERSIDE PLAZA” and “NOODLES · SKEWERS · TEA”. The label prompt ended with “No other text” and came back with none. Three pictures is a small sample. - **Pictures with words:** 3 - **Quoted lines spelled right:** 5 of 5 - **Unrequested lines added:** 2, on one poster ## Text we asked for, and what came back Made through [fal.ai](https://fal.ai) on October 10, 2026. The label ran at high quality ($0.22 at the API, 55 credits here); the poster and its edit at medium ($0.06, 15 credits). ### Tea tin with a two-line label **Requested:** A tea tin labelled “JASMINE GREEN” and “Loose leaf · 100 g”, with no other text. **Observed:** Both lines are spelled as quoted and no extra text appears, at high quality. **Limitation:** Two loose tea leaves beside the tin were not requested. - Prompt: Product photograph of an unbranded square tea tin on a pale wooden table. The label reads "JASMINE GREEN" in large serif capitals, with a smaller line "Loose leaf · 100 g" underneath, dark green ink on a cream label. Soft daylight. No other text, no logos. - Settings: text to image, 1:1, high, 1024×1024 - Generated: 2026-10-10 (provider request 01a12622-2b22-7d01-8395-c6920173e032), took 12 s, provider cost $0.22 - Image: https://ideogram45.online/media/tea-tin-label.jpg ### Night market poster with lettering **Requested:** A three-colour poster reading “NIGHT MARKET” and “Every Friday 6 pm”. **Observed:** Both lines are spelled as quoted, with paper grain. **Limitation:** The model added “RIVERSIDE PLAZA” and “NOODLES · SKEWERS · TEA” without being asked. - Prompt: Screen-printed poster for a fictional event. Large hand-lettered title reading "NIGHT MARKET" and a smaller line reading "Every Friday 6 pm". Flat illustration of paper lanterns and food stalls in three colours: deep blue, warm red and cream. Visible paper grain. - Settings: text to image, 3:4, medium, 864×1152 - Generated: 2026-10-10 (provider request 01a12620-77c7-78f2-bd32-5f26ab59a30b), took 17 s, provider cost $0.06 - Image: https://ideogram45.online/media/night-market-poster.jpg ### Poster line changed to Saturday 7 pm **Requested:** Change the date line to “Every Saturday 7 pm” while preserving the design. **Observed:** The wording changed in the same lettering; the title and illustration look similar. **Limitation:** The result is not pixel-identical. Our JPEG comparison measured an average difference of 3.25 out of 255; inspect the editing guide for the method and limits. - Prompt: Change the smaller line to read "Every Saturday 7 pm". Keep the title, the lettering style, the illustration, the colours and the paper grain exactly as they are. - Settings: image to image, 3:4, medium, 864×1152 - Generated: 2026-10-10 (provider request 01a12621-c390-77c2-b54e-ce01db369544), took 23 s, provider cost $0.06 - Image: https://ideogram45.online/media/night-market-saturday.jpg - Started from: https://ideogram45.online/media/night-market-poster.jpg ## Check the words before you use the design 1. **Quote the exact lines** Write the headline and each smaller line in quotation marks. Include dates, punctuation and capitalisation as they should appear. 2. **Check for extra copy** Inspect the whole design. Our poster added a location and a food list that the prompt did not request, even though its quoted lines were correct. 3. **Inspect at the intended size** Read the smallest line at the size you plan to post or print. We tested short English lines only, not paragraphs or multilingual layouts. 4. **Edit or start again** For a one-line correction, upload the result in the [image editor](https://ideogram45.online/ideogram-4-5-image-editing). Every new run has its own credit cost; this site does not provide automatic text checking or editable text layers. ## Questions about text ### How do I stop the model adding its own text? Say “No other text”. The one prompt that said so came back clean; the one that did not gained two lines. That is one run each, so treat it as a tip, not a rule. ### Can it change text that is already in a picture? In one run it rewrote “Every Friday 6 pm” as “Every Saturday 7 pm” in the same lettering. The surrounding poster looked similar but was not pixel-identical. Inspect the source and the measured changes in the [editing guide](https://ideogram45.online/ideogram-4-5-image-editing). ### Does it handle small text? The smallest text we ran is the second line of the tin label, which was readable at 1,024 × 1,024. We have not tested paragraphs or very small type. ### Does it work in other languages? We ran English only, so we cannot say. ## Make a picture with words in it [Open the generator](https://ideogram45.online/)
