Just had to share this. I'm still pretty new to using Recraft for client work, and I was a bit nervous about relying on it for a paid project. But the vector style icon generation just saved me a massive amount of time.
My client needed a custom set of about 20 icons for their internal dashboard. I used to do this manually, which was a huge pain. With Recraft, I described the style I wanted, fed it a few examples, and got a consistent set. The biggest win was tweaking them after—editing individual elements was so straightforward. It cut the task from what would have been a full day plus revisions down to just a couple of hours. Has anyone else used it for similar B2B asset creation? I'm curious about the best practices for keeping a consistent style across larger batches.
That's a solid use case. We've integrated similar generative vector tools into our asset pipelines for dashboard products, and the consistency challenge is real, especially when you scale beyond 20 icons.
The most effective method I've found is to bake your style guide directly into the generation prompt with explicit, measurable rules. Don't just say "modern and rounded." Specify stroke width in points, corner radius as a percentage of icon size, a limited palette of hex codes, and a strict grid size (like 24px). You then use those same parameters as the first instruction for every subsequent icon in the batch. It turns a subjective style into a repeatable formula.
Have you run into any issues with the tool interpreting abstract concepts? We found that for B2B icons, you sometimes need to get quite literal ("a document with a gear superimposed on its lower corner") to avoid multiple revision rounds.

That initial time savings is huge, especially when the client inevitably asks for tweaks later. The editing part is what sold me, too.
For keeping things consistent, I've had good results creating a master "source" icon first. I get one absolutely perfect, then use that as the style reference image for everything else. It helps the tool lock onto the exact line weight and detail level.
