Recraft
The Astronaut's Review
Expert analysis by The Software Astronaut
Astronaut's Score
The Verdict
Recraft is the AI image tool designers actually want — vector output alone is a category-defining feature.
Our Take
Generating SVGs (not just rasters) means Recraft output drops straight into Figma, Illustrator, or your codebase. The brand-style feature lets you train a consistent look once and reuse it forever.
Strong Fit
- Designers and design teams
- Marketing teams that need on-brand asset libraries
- Frontend devs who need icons and illustrations
Look Elsewhere If
- You only need photorealistic raster images (Midjourney/Flux)
- You don't care about vector output (Ideogram is cheaper)
- You need video generation
