What is Recraft?

Recraft is becoming a multi-model creative studio that lives inside designers' existing tools.

Recraft is shipping on three concurrent fronts: its own image model (V4.1 just released), an expanding catalogue of third-party image and video generators (GPT Image 2, Seedance 2.0, PixVerse, Wan, Veo 3.1 Lite, Qwen, Flux Schnell, Grok), and embedded surfaces in Figma, Framer, and Chrome. Video generation, added in late March, has moved from a single capability into a substantive model menu. Node-based Workflows in beta push the product toward repeatable production pipelines.

What is Moqups?

Shipping enabling primitives, then stacking native UI kits on top; Figma-alternative pitch sharpens.

Moqups is alternating real feature ships with SEO-grade content, in roughly equal measure. February 2026 brought Resize Constraints and Bulk Transform; March added native iOS 26 and Material Design 3 stencil kits that explicitly depend on the new resize behavior. July 2025's release covered prototyping ergonomics — interaction indicators and hotspot controls — and December 2024 introduced page labels and comment styling.

Recraft is becoming a multi-model creative studio that lives inside designers' existing tools.

◆ Current state

Recraft is shipping on three concurrent fronts: its own image model (V4.1 just released), an expanding catalogue of third-party image and video generators (GPT Image 2, Seedance 2.0, PixVerse, Wan, Veo 3.1 Lite, Qwen, Flux Schnell, Grok), and embedded surfaces in Figma, Framer, and Chrome. Video generation, added in late March, has moved from a single capability into a substantive model menu. Node-based Workflows in beta push the product toward repeatable production pipelines.

◆ Where it's heading

Recraft is hedging the model-supremacy question by aggregating the best third-party generators while continuing to invest in its own V-series for a coherent aesthetic. The plugin distribution into design tools and the Workflows beta show the product strategy shifting from generator-as-destination to creative substrate that plugs into existing pipelines. The bet is that creative professionals will pay for curation, workflow, and aesthetic consistency on top of commodity model access.

◆ Prediction

Expect Workflows to graduate out of beta with stronger templating and team-sharing primitives, plus continued addition of video models as that frontier moves fast. Look for either an Adobe-side integration or a stronger Figma-native presence next, mirroring the Framer and Chrome moves.

5.0

Shipping enabling primitives, then stacking native UI kits on top; Figma-alternative pitch sharpens.

◆ Current state

Moqups is alternating real feature ships with SEO-grade content, in roughly equal measure. February 2026 brought Resize Constraints and Bulk Transform; March added native iOS 26 and Material Design 3 stencil kits that explicitly depend on the new resize behavior. July 2025's release covered prototyping ergonomics — interaction indicators and hotspot controls — and December 2024 introduced page labels and comment styling.

◆ Where it's heading

Each release sets up the next: Resize Constraints existed in part so the UI kits would survive scaling, by the team's own admission. The product is being positioned as the lowest-friction wireframe-to-mockup tool for teams who find Figma too heavy — comparison posts (Figma alternatives, all-in-one vs specialized) reinforce that frame on the marketing side. Prototyping fidelity and collaborative editing are the two visible investment areas.

◆ Prediction

Expect more first-party stencil kits (web/Android variants are a natural next step) and continued small prototyping improvements layered on the new transform primitives. The Figma-alternative content cadence will keep pace with the release cadence.
