Inspect more than overall style: object preservation, geometry, faces and hands, fine detail, text in the frame and unintended changes during editing. ## What to inspect with Grok Imagine Create images from a description and choose the version around whether you need to edit an uploaded photo. - 1.0: text with Speed or Pro priority, or editing one photo. - 2.0: new images from text; Segment Edit starts from an eligible generated result. Five aspect ratios are available for generation. - Segment Edit is not ordinary uploading of an arbitrary photograph into version 2.0. - Inspect lettering, logos and small objects separately. ## What to inspect with Recraft Posters, illustrations and clean graphics from text, plus restyling of a single photo. - V4 and V4 Pro: text only; aspect ratios 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9 and 9:16. - V3 Image: exactly one photo (JPG, PNG or WebP up to 5 MB) and a short description of the changes, up to 1000 characters. - V4 and V4 Pro accept no references: to change a finished photo, choose V3 Image. - Check lettering inside the image after generating: text may contain mistakes. ## How to run a fair comparison - Give both models one prompt, one aspect ratio and, for editing tests, the same source photo. - Look at the small things: hands, small text, product edges and logos fail differently in every model. - Generate at least three variants per model: one picture shows one seed, not the usual quality. - Compare cost at the resolution you will actually publish, not at each model's cheapest setting. ## Sources Prices, availability and specifications come from the Mixer AI catalog. This is not an independent test: try both models on the same task before choosing. - [Prices and availability — Mixer AI catalog](https://mixerai.org/knowledge/catalog.json) ## What we compare [ Grok Imagine Create images from a description and choose the version around whether you need to edit an uploaded photo. ](https://mixerai.org/en/knowledge/image/grok-imagine/) [ Recraft Posters, illustrations and clean graphics from text, plus restyling of a single photo. ](https://mixerai.org/en/knowledge/image/recraft/) ## FAQ Which is cheaper: Grok Imagine or Recraft?
