Styles define the visual characteristics of your generated images. You can choose from a wide range of curated styles categorized by type, such as photorealism, illustration, vector icon, or logo, or create your own using reference images.

​
The Styles panel

The Styles panel includes several tabs and filters to help you browse and manage styles. There are two separate places to work with styles:
  • My Styles — a standalone library of your created and saved styles only, opened from the menu outside the canvas or the canvas dropdown menu. No Explore section here.
  • Style library — opened via the Style button in the prompt panel, with two tabs: Explore (all available styles) and My styles (your recent, liked, and created styles).
When applying a style, you can choose how closely the output should follow it:
  • Precise — follows the style’s reference material closely, for when matching the exact look matters most.
  • Flexible — matches the general vibe while giving the model more liberty, for when mood matters more than an exact match.
To guide a generation with reference images, attach them directly from the main prompt panel rather than through a separate step — see How to create a custom style for the full flow.

​
The Styles panel has two tabs:

  • Explore: Browse curated and AI-generated styles. Filter by category (All, Photo, Illustration, Graphic design, Icon, Logo), or use the Type and Model dropdowns to narrow results further. Search by descriptive terms like “comics”, “3D”, or “line art” — Recraft surfaces visually similar styles even when the style names don’t match. Click Create style here to build a custom style from reference images.
  • My styles: Styles you’ve saved, grouped into:
    • Created by me: Styles you’ve built yourself.
    • Liked: Styles you’ve saved from Explore for reuse, indicated by the heart icon on a style’s thumbnail.
