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.

Midjourney

Midjourney is a text-to-image AI that produces high-quality, stylistically distinct images from written prompts, accessed entirely through Discord or a web interface. It is used by illustrators, graphic designers, content creators, and marketers who need original visuals without a camera or traditional software. Image quality and artistic range are among the highest available from any AI image tool, though the learning curve for prompt crafting is real and outputs are not always predictable.
