Tips

  • Use Recraft for design work — icons, logos, illustrations, UI elements. It understands design concepts better than general-purpose models.
  • V4 Pro’s color control is invaluable for brand consistency. Provide your exact brand colors as RGB values.
  • PNG output is recommended for icons and logos (supports transparency).
  • For photographs or realistic images, use Nano Banana or Flux instead.

Nano Banana

Better for photorealistic content and editing.

Flux Pro

Higher quality general-purpose generation.
