Language and character support

Which languages and characters are supported in the prompt field?
Recraft supports any Unicode text input, so you can use a wide range of characters and languages in your prompts. The model performs best with prompts written in English, but also demonstrates strong comprehension of:
  • Major European languages: French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Russian
  • East Asian languages: Chinese, Japanese, Korean
  • Selected Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern languages: Vietnamese, Thai, Arabic
Other languages are supported as well, though results may be less accurate for less commonly used or low-resource languages.

​
Plans and credits

What happens to unused credits at the end of the month?
Subscription credits reset at the start of each new billing cycle and do not roll over. This applies to all paid plans. Only top-up credits and referral credits carry over month to month; they remain available until used.

​
Prompting

Why was my prompt blocked?
Prompts may be denied if they include content that violates Recraft’s Terms of Use. The system automatically filters out unsafe or sensitive input to maintain platform safety. For more information, refer to the Terms of Use. Why aren’t negative prompts working?
Avoid using phrases like “no” or “don’t” in your main prompt. Instead, use the Negative prompt field to list unwanted elements—for example: flowers, animals, people

​
Image quality

Why does the image look blurry or low quality?
If your image appears blurry—especially for faces or fine details—try using Creative upscale after generation. This enhances sharpness and overall image quality. Why doesn’t the generated image match my prompt?
AI models interpret language differently than humans and rely on pattern recognition, not comprehension. To improve results:
  • Use clear and descriptive prompts (e.g., “red leather armchair in a modern living room” instead of “armchair”)
  • Try shorter prompts if the output seems random
  • Experiment with different styles—some respond better to specific types of prompts

​
Editing

Why is the Merge objects tool unavailable?
The Merge objects tool may be disabled if:
  • You haven’t selected multiple images
  • The resulting merged image would exceed 4096 pixels in size

​
Styles

Can I use a custom style created in the tool with the API?
Yes. You can use any style you’ve created in Recraft with the API by referencing its Style ID as a parameter in your API request. There are two ways to find the Style ID: Option 1: From the styles page
  1. Go to recraft.ai/styles
  2. Open the My styles tab
  3. Click on the style you want to use
  4. In the top panel, click the … icon
  5. Select Copy style ID — this will copy the value to your clipboard
  6. Paste the ID into your API code as the style_id parameter
Option 2: From within the canvas
  1. Open any project
  2. Click the style selector above the prompt field
  3. Select the style you want to use
  4. In the right panel, under Properties, locate the Style ID field
  5. Copy the value and use it in your API request
