What’s Ideogram AI, and How Does It Work?

Content creators and social media managers need a steady supply of imagery for their posts and videos. This used to involve working with photographers, artists, or stock agencies in a time-consuming and sometimes expensive process of commissioning and finding art. Now, though, AI is changing the way people create. With text-to-image generators such as Ideogram AI, you can get precisely the art you need in an instant — just by describing it.

This article will explain what Ideogram AI is, how it enhances your social media presence with personalized art, and how Captions can help you streamline your content production process.

What’s Ideogram AI? 

Ideogram AI is one of several AI art generators integrated into Captions’ editing platform. Simply describe your image, and the Ideogram AI generator will make a photo matching your description. If the results aren’t quite right, modify your prompt and try again.

Ideogram makes it easy to add art in any style to the videos you create for Instagram, TikTok, and your other social media accounts. Create as many images as you need with Ideogram and Captions, then use them immediately in your video projects, placing them into footage and resizing them as needed.

How Does Ideogram Work? 

Ideogram is a generative AI model designed to create images from text prompts. Trained on a large data set of text-image pairs, Ideogram learned to understand the relationships between language and visual elements.

For instance, it may have reviewed multiple images of cats paired with alt text like “orange cat” or “tabby cat” to learn what the animal is supposed to look like. Then, when a user inputs a text prompt asking for a “gray cat sitting in front of a fire,” the platform knows exactly what to generate.

Ideogram is available to anyone interested in creating visual art, as it requires no artistic or technical computer experience to use. Artists use it to draft their project concepts and mockups, while content creators and marketers use Ideogram as a fast source of high-quality images for their video posts and ads.

3 Ideogram Key Features

Captions’ integration with Ideogram lets you generate new art from within the video editor. Here are three of the model’s key features.

1. Generation of Images from Text Prompts

With Ideogram AI, you convert your words into the perfect image for your video project. Describe what you want to see, and Ideogram creates it for you. Below are a few AI image prompt examples that you could use with Ideogram on Captions:

• “Make a picture of a man sitting on a park bench. Use a grainy filter and soft lighting so the image looks like it was taken with a camera from the 1970s.”
• “Create a realistic photo of a tiger sleeping in the jungle with shafts of light piercing the canopy of trees overhead.”
• “Paint an Art Deco pool party scene from the novel ‘The Great Gatsby.’”
  

2. AI-Driven Art Styles Options

Ideogram trained on a massive art library in every style imaginable. As a result, you can specify any artistic style in your text prompt, and it’ll closely recreate it. For example, consider the man on the bench in the prompt above. You could modify that prompt in any number of ways to change the style of the output:

• “Paint a picture of a man sitting on a bench in the style of Vincent Van Gogh.”
• “Create a photorealistic image of a man sitting on a bench, shot with a shallow depth of field on a high-speed black and white film camera.”
• “Draw a Studio Ghibli-style image of a man sitting on a bench at sunset.”
  

3. Personalization Features and High-Quality Outputs

Every image generated by Ideogram AI is unique — even pictures created from the same prompt. Captions also lets you refine your text prompts using AI. Simply click “Magic Prompt” after inputting your description, and AI will automatically enhance your writing for improved image quality. Use these images in your Captions videos without worrying that you’ll find them in someone else’s projects. 

Once you insert the visuals into your footage, customize them further by changing the size, on-screen duration, and location in the video. 

Benefits of Using Ideogram for Content Creation

The Ideogram AI app in Captions makes image creation for your social media videos easy. You don’t need any art or programming skills — you just need to know how to describe what you want. A few benefits of using Ideogram for art generation include:
