Geometric Composition

Text-to-Image

“A glass cube on a wooden table. Inside the cube is a small blue sphere. On top of the cube sits a red book. A green plant is behind the cube, partially visible through the glass. Soft window light from the left.”

Recraft V4.1 Pro
Wan 2.7 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

Recraft V4.1 Pro

  • + Excellent photographic realism and texture rendering.
  • + Complex light reflections on the glass and sphere.
  • + High-quality, cinematic composition.
  • The plant behind is very out of focus and less distinct than requested.
  • The glass cube appears to be open at the top (discontinuity where the book sits).

Wan 2.7 Pro

  • + Perfect adherence to all spatial instructions in the prompt.
  • + Clear visibility of the green plant through the glass.
  • + Natural lighting from the window exactly as described.
  • The glass cube has an internal bottom reflection/mirror effect not requested.
  • The texture of the blue sphere is slightly flat compared to Image A.

Verdict: Both models followed the prompt accurately, but Wan 2.7 Pro provided a better overall composition that clearly showed the plant behind the glass and the window light source. While Recraft V4.1 Pro had superior texture and bokeh, it felt more like a close-up product shot, whereas Wan 2.7 Pro better captured the full environment and specific item relationships.

Candid Street Photography

Text-to-Image

“A candid street photo of an elderly Japanese man repairing a red bicycle in light rain, reflections on wet pavement, shallow depth of field, 50mm lens, natural skin texture, imperfect framing, motion blur from passing cars, cinematic but realistic, no stylization.”

Recraft V4.1 Pro
Wan 2.7 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

Recraft V4.1 Pro

  • + Perfectly captures the request for motion blur from passing cars
  • + Stronger 'candid' feel with imperfect framing reminiscent of 35mm film
  • + Genuinely shallow depth of field with cinematic lighting and rain streaks
  • Anatomical issues with the man's hands being indistinct
  • The bicycle geometry is slightly mangled where it meets the ground

Wan 2.7 Pro

  • + Excellent full-body bicycle anatomy and reflections
  • + Very clear skin textures and realistic facial features
  • + Modern high-resolution clarity and sharp details
  • Failed to include requested motion blur from passing cars
  • Cars in background look static and 'frozen', reducing the realism of the scene
  • Composition feels a bit too clean and staged for a 'candid' prompt

Verdict: Recraft V4.1 Pro followed the technical stylistic requirements much better, successfully incorporating the requested motion blur and imperfect framing for a truly candid look. While Wan 2.7 Pro produced a sharper image with better bicycle geometry, it failed to execute the motion blur and felt less cinematic overall.

Fantasy Warrior

Text-to-Image

“Close portrait of a battle-worn paladin in ornate engraved plate armor, hair braided with small beads, faint scars and dirt on the skin, warm torchlight reflecting off metal, shallow depth of field, bokeh sparks, lifelike eyes, highly detailed texture on leather straps and cloth underlayer.”

Recraft V4.1 Pro
Wan 2.7 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

Recraft V4.1 Pro

  • + Incredible micro-detail on skin texture, scars, and dirt
  • + Exceptional engraving detail on the armor with realistic metallic sheen
  • + Perfect adherence to the 'close portrait' instruction with dramatic lighting
  • The sparks have a very hexagonal bokeh that may feel slightly artificial to some

Wan 2.7 Pro

  • + Excellent depiction of the braided hair with beads as requested
  • + Good balance of warm torchlight across the scene
  • + Realistic leather strap textures
  • Resolution of the skin and eyes is lower and appears slightly smoothed compared to the armor
  • The framing is more of a medium shot than a 'close portrait'

Verdict: Recraft V4.1 Pro produces a significantly more detailed and high-fidelity image that perfectly captures the gritty, battle-worn texture requested in the prompt. While Wan 2.7 Pro handles the hair braids and beads very well, it lacks the intense facial detail and dramatic 'close portrait' composition found in Recraft V4.1 Pro.

Modern Clean Menu

Text-to-Image

“Modern minimalist restaurant menu design, white background with colorful food photos in grid, sections for appetizers/pizza/mains, bold sans-serif fonts, vibrant accents, clean professional layout for casual dining.”

Recraft V4.1 Pro
Wan 2.7 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

Recraft V4.1 Pro

  • + Excellent typography with perfectly legible, crisp text
  • + Clean and sophisticated minimalist layout
  • + High-quality food photography with consistent lighting
  • The food photos are scattered rather than in a strict 'grid' requested by the prompt
  • Large amount of whitespace might be too empty for a functional menu

Wan 2.7 Pro

  • + Strong adherence to the 'grid' layout for food photos
  • + Comprehensive menu structure including headers, contact info, and social media
  • + Good use of color and branding elements
  • Significant text rendering issues with illegible descriptions and typos
  • The 'mockup' style includes distracting table elements like a pen and salt bowl
  • Food photos have some AI artifacts upon close inspection

Verdict: Recraft V4.1 Pro produces a professional-grade graphic design with near-perfect text rendering and clean aesthetics, though it adopts a more editorial layout than a traditional grid. Wan 2.7 Pro follows the grid requirement more closely but fails significantly on text legibility and clarity. Recraft V4.1 Pro is the superior choice for a usable design assets.

Magic Burger Explosion: Fiery Photorealism Challenge

Text-to-Image

“Ad for 'Magic Burger'. Dynamic, exploded burger with all components (bun, patty, cheese, lettuce, tomato, sauce) suspended in mid-air. Emphasize photorealistic detail and a sense of motion. Dark, fiery background with glowing embers. Integrate text: 'MAGIC BURGER' as a prominent title, 'LIMITED TIME ONLY' as a secondary message, and '€6.99' in a starburst, all rendered with a fiery, glowing effect.”

Recraft V4.1 Pro
Wan 2.7 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

Recraft V4.1 Pro

  • + Excellent photorealistic texture on the meat patty and bun
  • + Highly integrated fiery starburst effect for the price
  • + Sophisticated use of smoke and embers for atmospheric depth
  • The dynamic splash of sauce is slightly messy in composition

Wan 2.7 Pro

  • + Very layout-conscious design suitable for a flyer
  • + Clear, bold typography with a consistent fiery theme
  • + Perfect inclusion of all requested text elements and starburst
  • The food textures look slightly more 'plastic' or CGI compared to A
  • The lighting on the ingredients is a bit flat and uniform

Verdict: Recraft V4.1 Pro wins on pure image quality and photorealism, particularly with the texture of the burger patty and the organic look of the fire. Wan 2.7 Pro produces a better 'advertisement layout' with clearer graphic design elements, but the food itself lacks the appetizing realism found in the first image.

Chalkboard Menu

Text-to-Image

“Handwritten-style chalkboard menu in a cozy café, all text rendered in the exact same realistic chalk handwriting style with natural variations in letter size, slight slant, and chalk texture — no printed or digital fonts anywhere on the board. Title at the top in elegant cursive chalk handwriting: ‘TODAY’S SPECIALS – APRIL 30, 2026’. Below it, three menu items also in the same handwritten chalk style: ‘Truffle Mushroom Risotto – $24’, ‘Grilled Octopus with Lemon & Herbs – $28’, ‘Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies – $9’. At the very bottom, smaller text in the identical handwritten chalk style (slightly smaller but still clearly legible with the same handwriting characteristics): ‘All items made fresh daily • Ask about our gluten-free options’. Warm ambient café lighting, visible chalk dust and smudges, realistic handwriting imperfections, no clean printed text anywhere.”

Recraft V4.1 Pro
Wan 2.7 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

Recraft V4.1 Pro

  • + Text has a very convincing chalk texture with authentic variation in stroke pressure and smudging.
  • + Handwriting looks genuinely human with natural inconsistencies and slants.
  • + Excellent adherence to the full prompt text, including the correctly finished final item name and footer.
  • The perspective of the board is slightly cropped and angled, making it less of a direct display piece.
  • Slightly less background detail than Model B.

Wan 2.7 Pro

  • + Centred, clean composition with decorative underlines that enhance the cafe aesthetic.
  • + Perfectly legible text with a consistent font-like quality.
  • + Strong background environment that sets a 'cozy cafe' atmosphere.
  • Text looks like a digital font rather than natural handwriting, failing the 'no printed or digital fonts' instruction.
  • The lettering is too uniform and lacks the requested chalk texture and slant variations.

Verdict: Recraft V4.1 Pro followed the stylistic instructions much more closely, producing a board that looks realistically hand-drawn with gritty chalk textures and natural handwriting variations. Wan 2.7 Pro created a beautiful image, but the text is far too uniform and looks like a digital overlay, which directly contradicts the prompt's requirement for a non-digital, hand-drawn look.

The Reversed Rodeo

Text-to-Image

“Horse riding astronaut in space — horse on top, not vice versa. Surreal, highly detailed, cinematic.”

Recraft V4.1 Pro
Wan 2.7 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

Recraft V4.1 Pro

  • + Excellent cinematic lighting and atmosphere with a high level of detail in the nebula effects.
  • + Dynamic pose for both the horse and the astronaut creates a sense of movement.
  • The horse's back legs are morphing into the starry particulate matter.
  • Failed the specific spatial instruction; the astronaut is riding the horse, not the other way around.

Wan 2.7 Pro

  • + Clean, clear resolution with realistic textures on the spacesuit and horse's coat.
  • + Good composition using planets of varying sizes to create depth.
  • Failed the specific spatial instruction; generated a standard astronaut riding a horse.
  • The horse's front-right leg has an anatomically awkward bend at the hoof.

Verdict: Both Recraft V4.1 Pro and Wan 2.7 Pro failed to follow the difficult logic of the prompt, which specifically requested 'horse on top, not vice versa.' Since both reverted to the standard configuration of an astronaut riding a horse, Recraft V4.1 Pro is the winner because its aesthetic is much more cinematic, surreal, and visually impressive compared to the flatter, more literal composition of Wan 2.7 Pro.

The Capybara Taxi Driver

Text-to-Image

“Photorealistic scene inside a yellow New York taxi at night. A capybara is driving, wearing a yellow taxi driver cap and a dark jacket. It has a calm, professional expression and both front paws on the steering wheel. In the back seat sits a human businesswoman in a coat, looking at her phone with a completely normal, bored expression (as if this is just another normal ride). Through the windows you can see the streets of Manhattan at night with blurred lights. Realistic taxi interior, photorealistic, detailed fur and fabric, 35mm lens, night lighting with reflections, shallow depth of field.”

Recraft V4.1 Pro
Wan 2.7 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

Recraft V4.1 Pro

  • + Excellent photorealistic lighting and shallow depth of field
  • + Stronger cinematic composition for a night scene
  • + Accurately places the passenger in the back seat as requested
  • The capybaras paws appear a bit small and human-like
  • The taxi sign on top is partially cut off at the edge

Wan 2.7 Pro

  • + Sharp details on the capybaras fur and clothing
  • + Realistic taxi driver cap with a badge
  • + Good depiction of the Manhattan street environment
  • Incorrectly places the passenger in the front passenger seat instead of the back seat
  • The capybaras hands are rendered as large, primate-like hands

Verdict: Recraft V4.1 Pro followed the spatial instructions much better, correctly placing the businesswoman in the back seat. While Wan 2.7 Pro has sharp details, it failed the prompt's layout and produced distracting, primate-like hands for the capybara. Recraft V4.1 Pro is the winner for its superior atmospheric lighting and correct scene interpretation.

The Halloween Invitation

Text-to-Image

“Vintage gothic Halloween party invitation. Dark parchment poster, spooky border with webs and thorns, central glowing jack-o-lantern, bats, twisted trees, moody night sky. Add elegant gothic title text saying "Halloween Party Invitation", a small scroll banner saying "You are invited to a night of frights", and event details at the bottom: Date: 30.10.2026 Time: 7pm Location: The Arches, NYC Spooky but polished, cinematic lighting, square format.”

Recraft V4.1 Pro
Wan 2.7 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

Recraft V4.1 Pro

  • + Excellent photographic realism and cinematic lighting.
  • + Flawless text rendering for all titles and event details.
  • + Highly atmospheric and moody composition that matches the 'gothic' and 'frights' theme perfectly.
  • The thorns and webs on the border are slightly less distinct compared to the illustrative style.
  • The scroll banner is somewhat plain in design.

Wan 2.7 Pro

  • + Beautiful illustrative style with very intricate details like lanterns and ravens.
  • + Includes extra creative elements like the Est. date and dress code that fit the theme.
  • + The border design is very cohesive and creative.
  • The parchment background is a bit bright and doesn't quite capture the 'dark' and 'moody' request as well as the other model.
  • The text on the scroll banner is slightly less legible due to the curvature.

Verdict: Recraft V4.1 Pro followed the atmospheric and cinematic lighting instructions perfectly, creating a professional-looking poster with clear, elegant typography. While Wan 2.7 Pro offered a charming, highly detailed illustration, Recraft V4.1 Pro is preferred for its superior text clarity and the moody, dark-parchment aesthetic which better captures the requested 'night of frights' vibe.

Isometric Miniature Diorama Scenes

Text-to-Image

“Create a clear, 45° top-down isometric miniature 3D cartoon scene of Japan's signature dish: sushi, with soft refined textures, realistic PBR materials, gentle lighting, on a small raised diorama base with minimal garnish and plate. Solid light blue background. At top-center: 'JAPAN' in large bold text, 'SUSHI' below it, small flag icon. Perfectly centered, ultra-clean, high-clarity, square format.”

Recraft V4.1 Pro
Wan 2.7 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

Recraft V4.1 Pro

  • + Excellent typography integrated into the scene's perspective.
  • + Highly realistic rice texture that mimics a macro photo.
  • + Very clean and minimalist diorama base.
  • The sushi fish looks slightly less 'cartoon' and more like real meat, creating a slight stylistic clash.
  • Placement of the sushi pieces on the plate feels a bit crowded and off-center.

Wan 2.7 Pro

  • + Perfectly captures the 'miniature 3D cartoon' aesthetic requested.
  • + Excellent shading and PBR-like material qualities on the fish and roe.
  • + Balanced composition with professional graphic design elements.
  • Includes extra elements like chopsticks and a sauce dish not requested in the prompt.
  • The 'JAPAN' text is slightly off-center compared to the rest of the elements.

Verdict: Both models followed the complex prompt very well, but Flux 1.1 Pro (Image B) captured the '3D cartoon' style better with more appealing, stylized food models. Recraft V4.1 Pro (Image A) had more accurate text placement and impressive grain-level detail on the rice, but the overall presentation in Model B feels more like a finished marketing asset.

Adorable Baby Animals in Sunny Meadow

Text-to-Image

“Hyper-photorealistic scene of fluffy baby animals—a golden retriever puppy, tabby kitten, baby bunny, and red fox kit—with big expressive eyes and ultra-detailed soft fur, playfully chasing butterflies and tumbling together in a lush wildflower meadow, warm golden sunrise light with god rays and dew sparkles, joyful wholesome vibe, 8K masterpiece.”

Recraft V4.1 Pro
Wan 2.7 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

Recraft V4.1 Pro

  • + Excellent dynamic composition that conveys movement and playfulness.
  • + Highly detailed fur textures and realistic interaction with the dew-covered meadow.
  • + Superb lighting with natural god rays and a clear morning atmosphere.
  • The fox kit has a slightly elongated neck/body ratio that looks a bit stiff.
  • The golden retriever has a strange extra paw/leg emerging from its chest area.

Wan 2.7 Pro

  • + Perfectly centered subjects with clear visibility of all four requested animals.
  • + Beautifully rendered butterflies and vibrant floral colors.
  • + Stronger 'big expressive eyes' that lean more into the wholesome aesthetic.
  • The lighting looks slightly more artificial compared to the naturalistic bloom of the other image.
  • The kitten's pose is somewhat awkward, standing vertically against the golden retriever.

Verdict: Recraft V4.1 Pro creates a much more cinematic and dynamic scene with superior lighting and texture, capturing the 'tumbling' aspect of the prompt more effectively. Wan 2.7 Pro offers a clearer, more organized layout of the animals and adheres slightly better to the 'big eyes' instruction, though it feels more like a staged illustration than a photorealistic 8K masterpiece. Recraft V4.1 Pro is preferred for its technical lighting and realistic fur, despite a few minor anatomical oddities.

Vintage Cafe Logo

Text-to-Image

“Vintage minimalist restaurant logo for "Caffè Florian", retro cloche dome with steam and "Est. 1720" banner, classic typography, warm brown and cream tones, subtle texture on light background, vector emblem style.”

Recraft V4.1 Pro
Wan 2.7 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

Recraft V4.1 Pro

  • + Perfectly spelled requested text
  • + Clean minimalist vector aesthetic
  • + Accurate representation of a cloche with steam
  • The 'Est. 1720' text is very small and lacks a dedicated banner container
  • Lacks the 'warm cream' tone, appearing more stark white

Wan 2.7 Pro

  • + Excellent 'vintage' aesthetic and color palette
  • + Beautifully rendered banner and cloche detail
  • + Includes additional relevant context like 'Venezia Italia'
  • Misspelled name as 'Florion'
  • Vector style is a bit busy for a minimalist logo prompt
  • Steam graphic looks slightly floating and disconnected

Verdict: Recraft V4.1 Pro followed the text requirements perfectly, producing a clean and modern minimalist logo. However, Wan 2.7 Pro captured the 'vintage' and 'cream tone' atmosphere much better, despite failing on the spelling of the brand name ('Florion' instead of 'Florian').

Apollo 11: Journey to Tranquility

Text-to-Image

“Create a clean, modern vector infographic poster about the Apollo 11 mission. NASA-inspired palette (navy, white, muted red, light gray). Flat-vector style, crisp lines, consistent iconography, subtle gradients only. Steps (stop at landing): 1. Launch (Saturn Vicon) 2. Earth Orbit (Earth + orbit ring icon) 3. Translunar (trajectory arc icon) 4. Lunar Orbit (Moon + orbit ring icon) 5. Descent (lunar module descending icon) 6. Landing (lunar module on the surface icon) Small supporting elements (minimal text): • Crew strip: three silhouette icons with only last names: Armstrong, Aldrin, Collins. • Landing site marker: Moon pin labeled "Tranquility" only. Layout constraints: generous margins, large readable labels, clean background with subtle stars. Vector-only, print-poster look, high resolution.”

Recraft V4.1 Pro
Wan 2.7 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

Recraft V4.1 Pro

  • + Excellent typographic clarity and readability
  • + Perfect adherence to the specified dark blue and muted red palette
  • + Clean, professional flat-vector iconography
  • Numbered sequence repeats '05' twice
  • Followed 'Saturn V' prompt literally by including 'Vicon' as text
  • Negative space feels a bit empty compared to a poster layout

Wan 2.7 Pro

  • + Strong poster composition with a clear vertical hierarchy
  • + Rich in supporting details like dates, durations, and mission data
  • + Creative use of icons and background elements to fill the frame
  • Text rendering is poor with several typos like 'Tranquilicy' and 'DESCRIPT'
  • Includes some visual clutter and less crisp iconography
  • Missing some of the requested 'muted red' accents in favor of more white

Verdict: Recraft V4.1 Pro produces a much cleaner and more professional vector aesthetic with superior text legibility, though it has minor numbering errors. Wan 2.7 Pro better understands the 'poster' aspect of the prompt by including rich details and data, but it suffers from significant spelling errors and lower-quality iconography. Recraft V4.1 Pro is the winner for its closer adherence to the requested crisp, modern vector style.
