Common causes of "Recraft not working"
If Prismix shows Recraft as "Operational" but you're having issues:
- SVG output contains raster fallback instead of true vector paths — Recraft's SVG mode generates real vector paths for logos and icons, but complex scenes may fall back to an embedded raster image. Use the
svgstyle preset specifically and keep prompts simple (flat shapes, icons) to maximize true vector output. - Style preset not applying to generated image — brand style presets are workspace-scoped and must be referenced by their exact style ID returned from the styles API. Passing a display name string instead of the UUID causes the request to silently fall back to the default style.
- Generation queue timeout (>60s) — during peak hours the generation queue can back up. The API returns a
202 Acceptedwith a task ID for async jobs. Poll the task endpoint rather than relying on a synchronous response timeout; implement retry logic up to 5 minutes. - API key rate limit 429 Too Many Requests — Recraft enforces per-minute and per-day generation limits based on your plan tier. The
X-RateLimit-RemainingandRetry-Afterresponse headers indicate when the limit resets. Add exponential backoff starting at the value inRetry-After. - Brand style upload failing over 5MB — reference images for brand style training must be under 5MB per image and under 20MB total. Convert PNGs to JPEG at 90% quality or resize to under 2048px on the longest side before uploading to stay within the limit.
- Color palette override ignored in generated output — color palette enforcement works best with flat design and illustration styles. Photorealistic styles may not honor exact hex values. Switch to the
vector_illustrationoriconstyle preset when strict color palette adherence is required.
