Ideogram compared three AI design tools for print-on-demand artwork by running one shared botanical book prompt through Ideogram, Kittl and Recraft on free accounts. The test checked spelling, requested elements, background transparency, export dimensions and whether downloaded SVGs contained real vector shapes. Ideogram's Generate Vector output spelled both phrases correctly and produced vector paths with no embedded pixel-based image, but the checkerboard was included as artwork and the lettering was paths rather than live text. The SVG also contained gradient definitions even though the prompt asked for no gradients, so Ideogram says the file would need background shapes removed and its palette reviewed before production. Ideogram's Background Remover produced a 2048 × 2048 transparent PNG, but it did not clean the original SVG. Ideogram notes the test used one output per tool and did not order physical samples, so it does not establish an average success rate.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://ideogram.ai/blog/best-ai-tools-for-print-on-demand:

> For a shop selling personalized gifts, changing the wording matters as much as generating the illustration. For posters and stickers, the choice between a pixel-based image and scalable vector artwork can change how you prepare the file. Sellers building collections also need a way to carry a style across several designs.
> 
> We used the same botanical book prompt in Ideogram, Kittl, and Recraft, then inspected the files we could download. That gave us something concrete to compare: the lettering, the artwork, transparency, and whether an SVG contained actual vector shapes.

> Method : How we compared the tools
> 
> We tested artwork generation and available downloads in Ideogram, Kittl, and Recraft using one shared prompt. All three tests used free accounts; the Ideogram and Recraft tests used the free credits included with those accounts. In Ideogram, we also used Background Remover. The remaining sections draw on official product documentation, rather than a hands-on comparison of their outputs. Research and testing were completed on October 23, 2026.
