Review Recraft?

Reviewers mostly praise Recraft for fast, high-quality image and especially vector generation, with an intuitive canvas that feels familiar to design tools and works well for icons, mockups, presentations, illustrations, and quick iteration. Several say the browser-based workflow, SVG output, upscaling, and editing tools save real time. The main complaints are inconsistency on fine details, mixed prompt reliability, lag or bugs on weaker devices, and limits around mobile use, layers, background isolation, and more complex multi-layer workflows.

Recraft is insanely well-made. It does two things extremely well: * Quickly iterate on images in a manner that's intuitive to humans (digital canvas makes for super easy duplicate and try something else) * Make some touch-ups on images. It is a bit wonky at times and it definitely has a mind of it's own. If you don't give a lot of instructions it will put out some fairly generic products but if you take the photo-realism style and then instruct it to draw in a particular style it will do so. I have successfully created etchings, woodcuts, ghibli style paintings and other things and everything is saved so while you're iterating you can always go back if you liked one version. This tool gets full stars from me because of the design. Once I learned the tool (which took me like 1 day compared to years off learning to draw) I could put out some pretty cool stuff. Just remember that the garbage input, garbage output is very true here. The tool cannot read your mind so make sure to play around with wording to get the best results.

Congrats on the launch! I've been looking for something like this to help out with technical visuals and had a reasonable success with MidJourney and InkScape's bitmap->vector conversion tool. I've been playing around with recraft and so far the results are quite mixed though it feels that something is there. So far I had the best luck with abstract sceneries like "city scape", "desk with a laptop" and specifics like "Python" (the snake) would produce nightmare monsters lol I'll keep at it, thanks!

Hi Reb, if you are still interested in AI tools for design, we encourage you to give Recraft a try again - everything has been improved since then - and especially the quality of generation. We would appreciate any feedback!

Looks like an interesting tool, though I'd give 5 stars if I could see clearly how to: - upload my own raster image (that part is clear) - apply a style to it out of the set available by default (this isn't, as I cant re-craft with an empty prompt) - and only THEN vectorize it and play with it further My use-case: I have a pen plotter, and would love to convert a raster to a nice line drawing svg, change a few things here and there, and then dump it to Inkscape for plotting.

Unfortunately this scenario is not supported out of the box. But you can try doing this now, for that you can try playing with similarity parameter - start from your image, add a prompt that properly describes it, and recraft with different similarity parameters. No guarantees that it will work though. Thanks for a feature request, we'll definitely think of that!

It is a strong and powerful tool, but not good on the go. Mobile devices or laptops are a lost cause with this ai art generator. Everything just bugs out. The display doesn't resize but the images do, importing only sometimes works, the lasso tool can cause you to accidentally refresh the page, that kind of stuff. You need a high-end device with a large monitor to run this.

Hi Blaze and Thunder, if you are still interested in generative AI for design, please give Recraft a shot again - we have improved a lot of things from user interface, set of features and quality of images. I bet you'll like the new Recraft20B. If not, we are happy to hear any feedback

Found hard to go around the background being part of the art, also moving layers up or down is not working. It is quite nice to do isolated art, but multi-layered artwork is not possible with the current toolset.

What needs improvement

Hi Doug, Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. We've found an issue with Bring to front / Bring forward / Send to back / Send backwards hotkeys and will fix it soon. Thank you one more time and I hope Recraft could be one of your day-to-day tools.

As a Product Manager, rather than a designer, I've found immense value in using Recraft to generate icons for my mock-ups. Additionally, the Upscale feature has been invaluable for my tasks. I'm also looking forward to the potential addition of text recognition capabilities. Best wishes, and keep up the great work

I recently started using this service and was pleasantly surprised. Unlimited free generations in different styles and constantly adding new tools! It looks very similar to Figma, but I think that was intentional :) I really hope the free features remain free. Thank you for the service, guys!

Freaking amazing. I think I now lost my designers for a week or so, since they are so thrilled to go through all the app has to offer. We are currently in the phase of rebranding, so this should be a lifesaver for generating new ideas, graphics and craft (and recraft?) the ideal style for us.

As an artist starting out, we don't always have the option to get nice photos of our prodouct. So i've been very happy to use Recraft AI after all the programs that I've tried this one is the best. It doesn't make it look too artificial in most mockup images. Thank you Recraft!

Great product! easy to use, and after some trial and error, I got stunning results! I would suggest adding the following features: 1. share a project canvas publicly for viewers 2. better search results, ability to select multiple images and blending/combining them
