New Ideogram 3.0 model debuts with Style Reference feature

Ideogram, the AI-powered text-to-image generation platform, announced its highly anticipated Ideogram 3.0 model on Wednesday, March 26, 2025. This new iteration promises to push the boundaries of generative media with several groundbreaking features and improvements.

The Ideogram 3.0 model boasts enhanced capabilities in creating highly detailed scenes with precise lighting and color control, as well as significantly improved hand rendering. It excels in producing stylized and accurate text for graphic design, advertising, and marketing purposes, handling complex, long-form text with greater precision than any other AI model currently available.

A standout feature of Ideogram 3.0 is the introduction of Style References, allowing users to upload up to three images to guide their generations without additional prompts. The model also introduces a Random Style option, which selects from 4 billion automatically generated styles, offering users a diverse range of creative outputs with minimal effort.

The update includes improvements to the Describe feature, providing more detailed scene descriptions for enhanced creative control. Ideogram 3.0 integrates with Canvas for Magic Fill, Extend, and Replace Background functionalities, enabling advanced AI-native image edits.

To streamline the user experience, Ideogram has introduced a new prompt box unified across its website and Canvas platform. The company acknowledges that, like previous generations of text-to-image models, Ideogram 3.0 may require users to adapt to a different prompting language.

Ideogram also has granted early access to select users, providing them with 10,000 extra priority credits to explore the new model and features ahead of the public launch. This release marks a significant step forward in Ideogram's mission to advance text-to-image AI technology, building upon the strengths of its predecessor, Ideogram 2a, which was launched on March 7, 2025.
