What they are

Recraft

Recraft is an AI image generation tool built specifically for designers and brand teams who need consistent visual output at scale. It generates vector illustrations, icons, and raster images from text prompts, and supports custom brand style training so outputs stay on-model. The free tier is genuinely usable, though the credit system can feel restrictive once you start iterating quickly.

Adobe Express

Adobe Express is a browser and mobile-based design tool for creating social graphics, short videos, PDFs, and branded content. It targets content creators, small business owners, and educators who need polished visuals without opening Photoshop. The free tier covers basic templates and assets, while the paid plan unlocks Adobe Stock access, premium templates, and generative AI features. The brand kit and one-click resize tools are genuinely useful for creators managing multiple platforms.
