    Improvement

    Ideogram's Design Board is more direct

    Draw a box to add text or an image region, tune typography more precisely, let the AI place loose pieces, and edit the overall style from clearer controls.

  2. 1 ship

    Fix & polish

    Generated files have cleaner names

    New image, video, and audio outputs now get readable names based on the tool that made them, instead of machine-looking filenames.

  3. 7 ships

    New tools

    New feature

    Start from a real workflow template

    Home now offers starter workflows for common jobs like editing with a prompt, generating a video, or making a song.

    New users get a guided first pass

    The welcome flow now helps new creators land in the editor with a little more context and less blank-canvas guessing.

  4. 4 ships

    New tools

    OmniHuman 1.5 makes a portrait talk

    ByteDance

    Connect one portrait and a voice track to generate a talking video with the same subject and voice-driven motion.

    • OmniHuman 1.5

    KlingAI Lip-Sync gives character clips a new voice

    Kling AI

    Redub an existing video with new dialogue or music, then balance the original audio against the synced track.

    • KlingAI Lip-Sync

    xAI Text to Speech adds six studio voices

    xAI

    Turn text into speech with xAI voices, auto-detected language, and inline cues for pauses, laughs, whispers, and emphasis.

    • xAI Text to Speech

    Improvement

    Workflow errors point to the problem

    When a workflow cannot run yet, VIX now gives a clearer reason and a Show me action that jumps to the node that needs attention.

  5. 5 ships

    New tools

    Fish Audio brings expressive voices to the canvas

    Fish Audio

    Generate narration, dialogue, and voiceover from text, or clone a voice from a short reference clip.

    • Sync Lip Sync 2

    Improvement

    Tool details open on the canvas

    The same rich details from the tool library now open from nodes already in your workflow, so you can inspect a tool without leaving the canvas.

  6. 2 ships

    Improvement

    Workflows remember how you left them

    Workflow cards now show a small preview of the canvas, so it is easier to recognize a project when you come back.

    Fix & polish

    Fewer runs get stuck waiting

    We fixed bugs that could leave some executions stuck after a worker finished, so runs recover more reliably.

  7. 7 ships

    New tools

    SAM 3.1 can mask a moving subject

    Meta

    Type what you want selected and SAM follows it through the clip. You get a preview video and a mask video you can wire into the next edit.

    Masking one image is useful. Masking a thing that moves is the harder job.

    SAM 3.1 lets you write a simple prompt like "person" or "red car" and get back a tracked selection across the clip. The preview shows what it caught. The mask gives the next tool something precise to work with.

    Reach for it when a subject needs to stay selected after the first frame.

    • SAM 3.1 Video Segmentation
    • SAM 3 Image Segmentation

    Pack and Unpack Video Track keep sequences flexible

    Bundle clips into one ordered video track, then pull the pieces back out later when another tool needs them separately.

    • Pack Video Track
    • Unpack Video Track

    Improvement

    Missing inputs are easier to fix

    The workflow drawer now has Runs and Issues. If something is missing, you can jump straight to the node that needs attention.

    The canvas is easier to start from

    Empty workflows now feel less empty, new nodes land more gracefully, and the view controls are closer to where your hands already are.

    Home is more useful when you come back

    Fresh outputs, recent activity, starter ideas, search, and visual workflow cards make it easier to pick up where you left off.

    Fix & polish

    Media Hub is easier to read

    Files, previews, upload state, processing badges, and output markers are easier to scan. Less panel clutter, more of the media itself.

    No surprise mid-cycle plan math

    During launch, changing plans will not create prorated charges or credits. You see what is due today before you confirm.

    New tools

    Aleph 2.0 — edit footage by describing the change

    Runway

    Feed it a clip, say what should be different, get the edited shot back. Video editing that takes direction in plain language.

    Most AI video tools generate from scratch — you describe a world and hope. Aleph 2.0 works the other way around: you bring real footage and tell it what to change. Relight the scene from day to dusk. Swap the grade. Remove the thing in frame that shouldn't be there. Restyle the whole shot while the motion, the camera move, the timing all stay exactly as you shot them.

    That's the unlock — it edits your footage instead of replacing it. The clip you spent an afternoon getting stays yours; you're just art-directing the parts you'd otherwise send to a colorist or a VFX pass.

    Reach for it when:

    • You love the take but hate the lighting.
    • A shot needs a different look to match the rest of the cut.
    • There's one distracting element you'd kill for a clean plate of.
    • Aleph 2.0

    LTX-2 — fast video that doesn't feel cheap

    LTX Studio

    High-quality generation at a speed that lets you actually iterate instead of waiting on a single roll of the dice.

    • LTX-2

    Crop and Resize — the unglamorous daily image work

    Crop to a region, resize to a target. The small stuff that should never force you out of your workflow into another app.

    • Crop Image
    • Resize Image

    Six small tools that glue workflows together

    Do math on any number, roll a random one, remap a range, transform and truncate text, pull a value out of structured data. Tiny on their own — powerful between two bigger tools.

    • Math
    • Random Number
    • Remap Range
    • Text Transform
    • Truncate Text
    • JSON Extract

    New feature

    See what a run costs before you press play

    Every tool now carries a small bolt that shows how heavy it is on your plan's budget — on the card, before you run it. No math, no surprises.

    Improvement

    Favorites in the tool library

    Pin the tools you reach for daily. They stay one click away instead of buried in a catalog that grows every week.

    New tools

    Mask Maker + Inpaint — edit exactly what you point at

    • Eleven Music
    • Eleven v3

    Recraft Vectorize — raster in, clean vectors out

    Recraft

    Turn a generated or hand-drawn raster into crisp, scalable vector art. Logos and icons that stay sharp at any size.

    • Recraft Vectorize

    New feature

    The tool library, rebuilt

    Browse the whole catalog with live filters and scoped search, and open any tool into a detail view with real demo media — what the model actually makes, not a stock thumbnail.

  10. 2 ships

    New tools

    Ideogram 4.0 — the model that can actually spell

    Ideogram

    The one you reach for when the image needs to say something — posters, logos, thumbnails — and get the words right the first time.

    Most image models treat text as decoration — squiggles that look like letters until you read them. Ideogram 4.0 treats text as text. Posters, packaging, logos, thumbnails, meme-grade typography — it lands the words clean, the first time, instead of leaving you to photoshop over alphabet soup.

    But the real unlock is how you talk to it. Ideogram exposes a control surface most models don't: you can direct layout, type treatment, and composition in language — not just "a poster of X," but where the headline sits, how the type feels, what the hierarchy is. It's a genuinely new axis of control. You're not rolling dice on where the words land; you're art-directing them.

    Reach for it when:

    • The image has a job — a launch graphic, an album cover, a thumbnail that has to read at two inches.
    • You've spent an hour fighting another model's gibberish text.
    • You want the layout dialed by description, not by regenerating forty times.
    • Ideogram 4.0

    Fix & polish

    Saving to your library is way faster

    Usage limits that warn before they stop you

    Fix & polish

    Smoother wiring on the canvas

    Connections between tools are easier to grab, reroute, and read at a glance. Small hands-on-the-canvas stuff you feel immediately.

  3. 1 ship

    Improvement

    Number controls you can feel

    Drag any numeric setting like a dial — scrub it, nudge it by steps, or type it exactly. The canvas should feel like an instrument, not a form.
