Create Consistent Visual Styles with Recraft

Recraft is one of my favourite gen AI tools and I use it daily for conceptualising compositions and coming up with unique illustration styles. Their latest infinite style library and style mixing feature that is perfect if you are looking to create your own visual styles and maintain consistency between generated raster and vector images

The Infinite Style Library: A Never-Ending Scroll of Inspiration

The Infinite Style Library offers a constantly evolving, searchable collection of styles. From trendy aesthetics to obscure design vibes, Recraft has essentially curated a visual encyclopedia that evolves with the platform and user uploads.

But this isn’t just for browsing. Each style in the library can be:

• Previewed on sample artwork,

• Added directly to your project,

• Or mixed with other styles using the Style Mixing feature.

You can also save your favorite combinations and return to them later, which makes this perfect for brand work, illustration systems, or building a cohesive visual identity across multiple assets.

Tailor-Made Aesthetics with Recraft’s Style Mixing

Imagine if you could merge the bold lines of a comic book with the elegance of vintage botanical illustrations—or blend pixel art with abstract watercolor. With Style Mixing, that’s no longer wishful thinking.

This feature allows you to combine multiple styles into a single output, giving you unprecedented control over the visual feel of your AI-generated images. It’s as simple as dragging and dropping two (or more) styles from Recraft’s style options, adjusting their influence with intuitive sliders, and letting the AI do its magic.

Use cases:

• Build custom brand aesthetics by fusing your references.

• Mix realism with stylization to hit that sweet spot between art and utility.

• Remix established styles to create something fresh and uniquely yours.

You’re no longer bound by a single look—the style playground is officially open.

Use up to 5 images to define a new style and adjust their influence

This striking example demonstrates the power of Recraft’s new Style Mixing feature in action. The top row showcases four distinct artistic styles: Warhol’s pop art, Picasso’s cubism, da Vinci’s classical realism, and Mucha’s ornate Art Nouveau. These are not just references—they’re the raw material for a transformative creative process. Using Recraft, these vastly different visual languages are algorithmically blended, producing a seamless hybrid aesthetic that’s immediately recognizable yet refreshingly new.

In the bottom row, we see the results: portraits that fuse the regal poise of Renaissance portraiture with the bold neon colors and decorative flourishes drawn from the selected styles. Each image maintains a consistent composition and palette, indicating a strong stylistic coherence despite the eclectic mix of sources. Pink skin tones, teal backgrounds, and golden ornamentation create a visually arresting identity, where classic elegance meets modern flair. It’s a clear testament to how AI-driven style fusion can generate not just variations—but entirely new visual genres.

Let’s find out what changes when we play with the balance between the four source styles:

This visual experiment is a fantastic showcase of Recraft’s style balancing feature in action. Here, I used a simple prompt: an elephant, and each time I chose one of the 4 styles to be dominant over the others by using 70/10/10/10 percentages. The result is a beautifully clear demonstration of how shifting the weight of each reference can entirely transform the aesthetic output, without losing the essence of the subject itself.

When pop art takes the lead, the elephant becomes a punchy explosion of color and contrast, playful and bold. With cubism, we get geometric abstraction and sharp fragmentation. The classical realism version feels grounded and painterly, rich with atmospheric lighting and lifelike texture. Finally, when Art Nouveau dominates, the elephant is stylized with ornate linework and decorative framing, reminiscent of Mucha’s iconic work. These variations not only highlight the versatility of style mixing—they also suggest new creative possibilities: branding, illustration, concept art—all with style fully under your control.

Create styles based on your own illustrations

This is probably the coolest use case for those who are good at drawing and illustration. I dropped 5 of my illustrations in and I am in love with the style Recraft cooked from them:

And finally here are 4 unique styles I created tested on 8 different simple prompts:

These final examples perfectly encapsulate the creative possibilities unlocked by Recraft’s powerful style system. Each subject (from castles to cameras, tigers to motorbikes) is reimagined across four completely distinct illustration styles, all crafted within the same platform. From punchy vector-style graphics and painterly organic textures to futuristic neon renders and serene, pastel-toned scenes, the consistency of subject matter highlights just how adaptable and expressive each visual language can be.

This isn't just about aesthetics; it's about control, versatility, and creative range. Whether you're working on a children’s book, a game concept, an editorial spread, or a brand identity system, Recraft lets you generate cohesive series in any style you imagine (or invent). With tools like Style Mixing and the Infinite Style Library, you're not locked into someone else's vision – you’re designing your own. These illustrations prove that Recraft isn’t just a design tool; it’s a creative playground, a stylistic lab, and a professional-grade production engine all rolled into one.
