Ideogram AI released Ideogram v3's new feature called Layerize Text in April 2026 . It turns text inside generated images into editable layers. So instead of making a new image to fix a typo or change style, users can edit the text directly, kind of like in Photoshop or Canva but AI-driven.
Ideogram built its name by fixing a common issue in AI images, which is messy or unreadable text. Earlier models had trouble with clean typography. Version 3 takes it further by letting users edit that text after the image is made.
Layerize Text connects AI image tools with normal design workflows. After generating an image, the system finds the text and splits it into separate layers. This lets users change text without touching the background.
This helps a lot for design work like posters, ads, social posts, or print products. Instead of making many versions just to change a few words, users can update text inside the same image. It saves time and keeps the layout the same.
Behind the scenes it likely uses OCR with layout analysis and AI editing. The company has not shared full details, but the end result feels closer to using a design tool than a basic image generator.
The main text editing features are simple. Rewrite text. You can change headlines or captions. Font and color changes. You can adjust style and weight. Move and resize. You can place text anywhere. Layer split. Text stays separate from the background.
Other features in v3 include text to image, style presets, custom image sizes, generative fill, inpainting, and image to image. It also improves multi-layer image creation and keeps text more accurate, which is kind of its main strength.
The output is high quality images, usually around 1024 by 1024 or more depending on the plan. The designs work for both online use and print.
