Recraft offers a free AI image generator that creates both raster and vector graphics. It promises "anatomically perfect" images with superior prompt understanding and precision. I wanted to test these claims using my standard prompt set that I use to evaluate all new image generation models.

Recraft differentiates itself by focusing on designers' needs, offering vector outputs, style control, and editing capabilities including background removal, outpainting, inpainting, and AI eraser tools. Let's see how it performs with my standard test prompts.

Castle Prompt

The castle result shows Recraft's ability to create detailed architectural imagery. The image has good structural coherence and a pleasing artistic quality that would work well for design projects.

Family Scene Prompt

Recraft's handling of human figures is evident in this family scene. The proportions and anatomical details are well maintained, supporting their claim of "anatomically perfect" image generation.

Mickey Character Prompt

For the Mickey character prompt, Recraft appears to have implemented copyright protections similar to other commercial AI systems. This shows a responsible approach to intellectual property concerns while still attempting to satisfy the creative intent of the prompt.

Messi Portrait Prompt

The Messi portrait demonstrates how Recraft handles celebrity likeness requests. The approach balances creativity with appropriate limitations on reproducing recognizable faces of real people without permission.

Robot Concept Prompt

The robot concept showcases Recraft's strengths in generating conceptual and fictional designs. The level of detail and coherent mechanical elements demonstrate good prompt understanding for creative concepts that don't involve copyright concerns.

Unique Features

What makes Recraft stand out from other AI image generators:

• Vector Output: Unlike most AI generators that only create raster images, Recraft can output SVG files, making it valuable for logo design, icon creation, and other graphic design work requiring scalable assets.
• Designer-Focused Tools: The suite of editing tools is specifically built for designers, including background removal, inpainting/outpainting, and AI eraser functionality.
• Style Control: Users can fine-tune the level of detail and similarity to reference images using slider controls, offering better precision than text-only prompt modifications.
• Format Flexibility: The ability to export in SVG, PNG, JPG, or Lottie formats makes Recraft a versatile tool for different project requirements.
