Key takeaways
- Midjourney is still the leader for artistic images.
- Ideogram wins for anything with text.
- DALL·E is the most convenient if you already pay for ChatGPT.
Three winners for three jobs:
- Midjourney v6+ — best pure aesthetics; steepest learning curve.
- Ideogram — best text rendering (posters, logos, signage).
- DALL·E / GPT-image — most convenient inside ChatGPT; great for quick briefs.
For production graphics you plan to reuse, always run the winner through an editor to fix hands, teeth, and legible text.
