Ideogram's NEW Feature Replaces Photoshop for Designers (It's Free)

About this video

The creator demonstrates what he calls Ideogram’s transparent image editing feature, which lets you open an image with a transparent background inside Ideogram, describe a change in plain English, and have the edit made while the transparency stays intact. He frames this as removing the usual cycle of downloading a design, editing it in another tool, removing the background again, and re-exporting. He says the feature is available including on free accounts. In the demo he starts from a prompt idea taken from a research spreadsheet he says he shares weekly, generating a bulldog design, then uses the editor to add a green hat, swap an iced coffee for a warm cup of coffee and then for a martini, and add a cowboy hat to a distressed bull design. He also notes Ideogram can create or remove a transparent background from a prompt, and shows download options including different resolutions and upscaling inside the tool. He positions it for print-on-demand sellers who want production-ready transparent PNGs, for designers refining logos, icons and badges, and for content creators making overlay graphics for thumbnails and social posts.
