What users say
Recraft is commonly used by designers and product teams who need to generate both photorealistic images and vector graphics from text prompts. A frequently noted strength is its custom style system, which helps maintain visual consistency across projects. A common limitation is the absence of a free tier, making it less accessible for individual creators exploring the tool.
