IdeogramReview: images with readable text

Image ToolsMarketing
Freemium

Ideogram is an AI image generator that gets the words right. Ask for a poster that says "Grand Opening" and you get those words, spelled correctly, in the image. Plenty of other generators still mangle letters often enough that you end up fixing them in Photoshop. Ideogram 3.0 also handles Korean and Japanese text better than most. That makes it the obvious pick for YouTube thumbnails, social cards, flyers and anything else where the text has to be readable. The free plan gives you 10 prompts a day. Its lead is shrinking, though. FLUX, Recraft and Midjourney v7 have all got better at text. Ideogram is still the more reliable choice, just not by the margin it used to have.

  • 90–95% text accuracy: Reliably renders embedded text — headlines, labels, and short copy — inside generated images.
  • CJK support: Korean and Japanese character rendering at 80% accuracy, far ahead of competitors.

  • Design-aware output: Compositions are balanced for marketing use, not just visually interesting.

TMRW VERDICT

The image generator that can spell

by TMRW Team·Oct 4, 2026

Ideogram tackled the problem that made AI images useless for a lot of marketing: text. Plenty of generators still mangle letters. Ideogram gets them right almost every time, and that alone makes it the right tool for thumbnails, promo graphics and branded visuals.

Its images are solid, but they aren't the best-looking around. Midjourney and Recraft produce more polished pictures. What they can't do as reliably is put "SALE 50% OFF" on a banner without turning it into gibberish. If your images need words, start with Ideogram. The others are catching up on text, so it's worth checking again every few months.

Best for YouTube creators, social media managers and small businesses making their own marketing graphics. If you never need text in your images, Midjourney or Recraft will give you nicer results.

Recraft makes AI images you can export as SVG vector files. That means you can scale them to any size, edit them in Figma or Illustrator, and drop them straight into a website. Very few image generators can do that. Its regular images are strong too: on Hugging Face's Text-to-Image Arena, it beat Midjourney and DALL-E 3 in 72% of comparisons. V4 Styles, released in August 2026, keeps the style consistent across a batch. That matters if you're making a set of icons, social cards or brand graphics that need to look like they belong together. The free plan includes every model: Standard, Pro, Vector and Vector Pro. The results look like a designer planned them, not like stock images.

Video ToolsSocial MediaMarketing

Spira Maxima is a video model from Spira that turns a written script into a finished social media video. It's for creators and brands that post short UGC-style videos and don't want to film or edit them. You paste a script, and Spira casts a presenter that fits the topic, adds B-roll and motion graphics timed to the narration, and finishes with captions and music. You can upload a photo and a voice sample to make an AI clone of yourself as the presenter, or add your own product shots and phone footage for it to edit around. Spira can then schedule and post the video to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X and LinkedIn.

Savor

Savor

ProductivitySelf-Improvement

Savor is a free phone app for the things too small or too vague for a to-do list: call the dentist, book that trip, deal with the parking fine. Say it, type it, or snap a photo of the letter or flyer, and Savor turns it into a card. Cards sit in three lanes, Now, Soon, and Later, and come back with a reminder when their date gets close. The AI part is Take Action, still in beta. Open a card and it helps you work out the next step: compare options, build a list, look up public information, or draft the message you've been putting off. You can also hand a card to someone else who uses Savor; once they accept, it's theirs, reminders included. Photos of bills and letters are read automatically, and Siri can add cards hands-free. It's free on iPhone and Android while the company has paid plans on hold.

Riverside Agents

Riverside Agents

Video ToolsGenerative Video

Riverside Agents adds four AI helpers to Riverside's recording studio. Producer preps the session, down to suggesting eight questions worth asking your guest. Editor turns the raw recording into an episode: it tightens pacing, cleans up audio, cuts filler words, switches layouts, and adds captions and branding. Clipper finds the moments worth posting and cuts them. Marketer writes the captions and the newsletter and schedules the posts. You decide how much to hand over. Any step can stay manual, and nothing is published until you approve it. The agents also work on old recordings, so a back catalog can be clipped and promoted again. For businesses, the same crew sets up a webinar's registration page, invites, and run of show. Agents ship on every plan, on web and mobile. Pro is $29 a month, or $24 billed yearly, with 2,000 AI credits. Extras like AI B-roll spend credits when an agent uses them.
