Recraft
Recraft isn’t just another AI image generator or editor — it’s here to wow designers.
Overview
When it first emerged in mid 2024, Recraft AI took over the Artificial Analysis leaderboard, a ranking system where user choices decide the best AI image generators. With a 72% win rate and an impressive ELO score of 1163, Recraft leads by 34 points over its nearest rival, FLUX 1.1 Pro by Black Forest Labs.
Recraft AI is a UK-based platform packed with creative features. Beyond image generation, it offers tools for removing backgrounds, picking color palettes, and advanced editing like in-painting and out-painting.
What Sets Recraft Apart?
1. Versatile Styles & Text
Recraft AI supports raw, photo-realistic, and vector art styles. Its standout? Handling text-heavy designs. While others struggle with text in visuals, Recraft nails it, making it perfect for retro designs like 80s VHS covers or sci-fi posters.
2. Precision in Object Placement
When it comes to specifics, like object counts, colors, or positioning, Recraft V3 excels. A prompt like “Three apples, two pears, and six plums in a basket” results in spot-on images—a major edge over competitors.
