Best AI Image Generator for Text in Images

Garbled lettering is a common AI image problem. Some tools handle it better than others, and that changes over time, so test current versions.

Two ways to get clean text

1. Generate with text included

Ideogram is known for more reliable lettering. See Ideogram prompts. Other tools also continue to improve here, including those in Flux prompts guide.

2. Generate without text, add it in a design tool

Create the image with space for copy, then add exact text in Canva or similar. This gives you perfect spelling and brand fonts. See our Canva guide.

Test method

  1. Use a short phrase of 2 to 4 words.
  2. Run it three times in each tool.
  3. Count correct spellings.

For anything longer, option 2 is usually the safer choice.
