Flat vector illustration of a woman watering a large monstera in solid fills, generated with Recraft

Watering a monstera

Flat vector illustration built from solid fills only, with no gradients, no shading and no texture. A woman waters a large monstera in the corner of a flat, drawn as simplified geometric shapes with a palette of four flat colours on a cream ground, generous negative space, and shapes that read clearly at small size. Faces indicated with the minimum of marks. Not a 3D render, no drop shadows, no brush texture, no photographic lighting, 4:5.

Edit prompt
Flat infographic showing a process as four connected steps, generated with Recraft

Four steps across a page

Flat vector infographic, wide. A four-step process laid out left to right, each step a simple flat circular badge containing a minimal icon, all four the same diameter and evenly spaced, joined by three identical straight connectors of the same weight and colour. A short label sits beneath each badge in a plain sans. Nothing varies between the steps except the icon inside the badge. Palette of four flat colours plus charcoal type on a cream ground. No gradients, no drop shadows, no three-dimensional effects, no perspective. Even margins, 16:9.

Edit prompt
Flat illustration of an empty state showing a box with nothing in it, generated with Recraft

Empty box, nothing in it

Flat vector illustration for a product empty state. An open cardboard box drawn as three simple flat shapes with nothing inside it, set slightly off centre on a large plain ground with a great deal of space around it, and two tiny floating shapes nearby to keep the drawing light. Built from solid fills with one darker tone per colour used as a hard flat shape for the inside of the box. Palette of soft sand, muted coral and cream, deliberately warm rather than grey. No gradients, no drop shadows, no outlines, no texture. Rounded corners on every form, 4:3.

Edit prompt
Flat illustration of an office scene shown as a cutaway with several rooms, generated with Recraft

Cutaway of a small office

Flat vector cutaway illustration, wide. A three-storey office building with its front wall removed so every room is seen square on with no perspective at all, drawn as a grid of rectangular spaces each containing simple flat furniture and one or two simplified figures doing something different. Walls and floors are single flat colours; furniture uses one darker tone as a hard shape. Palette of six flat colours on a cream ground. No gradients, no shadows, no outlines, no vanishing point anywhere. Even detail across every room, 16:9.

Edit prompt
Flat illustration using thick uniform outlines and a limited fill palette, generated with Recraft

Thick outline around a kettle

Flat vector illustration drawn with a single thick outline of uniform weight around every shape, the same stroke thickness on the largest form and the smallest detail alike. A stovetop kettle on a hob with a small cup beside it, filled with flat solid colour inside the outlines and nothing else. The outline colour is a deep near-black used consistently throughout. Palette of three flat fills plus the outline on a cream ground. No gradients, no shading, no drop shadows, no line weight variation anywhere. Rounded line ends and joins, 4:5.

Edit prompt
Flat illustration of a still life of fruit built from simple geometric shapes, generated with Recraft

Fruit bowl in circles

Flat vector still life built only from circles, rectangles and half circles, with no other shape type used anywhere in the image. A bowl of fruit on a table: the bowl is a half circle, the table a rectangle, and every piece of fruit a plain circle in a different flat colour, with stems as small rectangles. No shape is distorted or organic. Solid fills only, one flat darker tone on the bowl's inner face. Palette of six flat colours on a warm grey ground. No gradients, no shadows, no outlines, no texture, 3:4.

Edit prompt
Flat illustration in a retro mid-century palette with slightly imperfect shapes, generated with Recraft

Mid-century kitchen scene

Flat vector illustration in a mid-century style, where the shapes are deliberately slightly imperfect, as though cut from paper by hand, with edges that are not quite straight and forms that do not align exactly. A kitchen scene with a coffee pot, two cups and a wall clock. Solid fills only, no gradients, no shadows, no texture within the shapes. Palette of mustard, teal, burnt orange, cream and charcoal, all slightly muted. Small areas where two shapes overlap show a darker flat colour. No outlines, no perspective, 4:5.

Edit prompt
Wide flat illustration of a city skyline built from overlapping colour blocks, generated with Recraft

Skyline in overlapping blocks

Flat vector illustration of a city skyline, wide, where all sense of depth comes from shapes overlapping one another rather than from any shading. Four distinct layers of buildings, each a single flat colour, sit in front of each other from a pale distant band to a saturated near band, with a simple flat river across the foreground. No gradients, no shadows, no outlines. Windows are small flat rectangles in one lighter tone. Palette of five flat colours plus a cream sky. Crisp hard edges throughout, generous empty sky, 16:9.

Edit prompt
Flat editorial illustration of two figures at a desk with a strong conceptual idea, generated with Recraft

Handing over a paper folder

Flat vector editorial illustration. Two figures at a plain desk, one passing a paper folder across to the other, who is reaching for it with both hands, so the whole idea sits in that one gesture. Bodies simplified into flat geometric shapes, faces given only eyes and a suggestion of a brow. Built from solid fills with one darker tone per colour used as a hard-edged shape for the shadow side of each form, and nothing else. Palette of muted teal, warm clay, cream and charcoal. No gradients, no soft shadows, no outlines. Generous flat background, 4:3.

Edit prompt
Flat repeating pattern tile of leaves and small shapes, generated with Recraft

Leaf pattern that tiles

Flat vector repeating pattern tile, square. A scattered arrangement of simple leaf and stem shapes in four flat colours on a deep olive ground, spaced evenly with no motif touching or crossing the edge of the tile so the pattern can repeat cleanly. Each leaf is one solid fill with no vein detail, no gradient and no shadow. Two sizes of motif only, rotated at varied angles to avoid an obvious grid. Hard edges throughout, no outlines. Balanced density with no large empty areas and no crowding, 1:1.

Edit prompt
Flat character illustration of a single figure drawn with no outlines, generated with Recraft

Baker with folded arms

Flat vector character illustration with no outlines at all, where every form is defined only by the edge between two colours. A baker stands with arms folded, identifiable entirely from her silhouette: a wide apron shape, rolled sleeves ending in a clear step, and a cloth tied at the head. Face given only two dot eyes and a small flat brow line. Built from solid fills with one darker tone per colour used as a hard flat shape. Palette of clay red, cream, warm grey and charcoal. No gradients, no shadows, no texture. Plain flat background, 1:1.

Edit prompt
Flat illustration of a bar chart integrated into a small scene, generated with Recraft

Figures climbing a bar chart

Flat vector illustration combining a diagram with a small scene. Five evenly spaced bars of increasing height stand on a single shared baseline, correct enough to read as a real chart, and two simplified figures climb between them, one seated on the third bar and one reaching up to the fourth. Bars in one flat colour with a second darker flat tone on their right faces. Figures in two further flat colours. Palette of four flat colours on cream. No gradients, no shadows, no outlines, no perspective on the bars, 4:3.

Edit prompt
Flat illustration of a long horizontal timeline with markers and small scenes, generated with Recraft

Timeline with five markers

Flat vector timeline illustration, wide. One dead straight horizontal line runs the full width of the frame at mid height, with five identical circular markers sitting exactly on it at even intervals. Above three of the markers and below two of them sit small flat vignettes, each two or three simple shapes tall, alternating up and down. Short labels beneath the line in plain charcoal sans. Palette of one line colour, three flat vignette colours and cream. No gradients, no shadows, no outlines. All vignettes drawn at the same scale, 16:9.

Edit prompt
Flat illustration of a map with simplified roads, water and blocks, generated with Recraft

Neighbourhood map in flat colour

Flat vector map illustration, square, seen from directly above with no perspective. A neighbourhood drawn with exactly two road widths, a wider one for the main routes and a narrower one for everything else, in a single flat colour on a pale ground. Building blocks are plain flat shapes in one warm tone, parkland in one green, water in one blue. Four small flat markers indicate landmarks. No gradients, no shadows, no outlines around the blocks, no text labels. Hard clean edges, even visual weight across the whole map, 1:1.

Edit prompt
Set of nine flat icons on a grid sharing one stroke weight, generated with Recraft

Nine icons on one grid

A flat vector icon set, square, laid out as nine icons in a three by three grid with even spacing. All nine are drawn as outlines of exactly the same stroke weight with the same rounded corner radius and the same optical size within their bounding box: a house, an envelope, a clock, a lock, a bookmark, a compass, a battery, a printer and a folder. Single colour, deep charcoal on a warm off white ground, with no fills and no second colour anywhere. No gradients, no shadows, no perspective. Consistent geometric construction across all nine, 1:1.

Edit prompt
Flat illustration using a limited two-colour palette plus overlap transparency, generated with Recraft

Two inks and one overlap

Flat vector illustration printed in exactly two inks, a warm red and a deep blue, where wherever the two shapes overlap a third darker colour appears as though the inks had multiplied. No other colours exist in the image. A cyclist rides past a row of trees, with the bicycle in red, the trees in blue, and the wheels crossing a trunk to produce the overlap colour. Flat solid fills, hard edges, no gradients, no shadows, no outlines. Cream paper ground showing through as the only light tone. Simplified geometric shapes, generous space, 3:4.

Edit prompt
Tall flat illustration of a mountain scene built from stacked bands, generated with Recraft

Mountains as stacked bands

Flat vector landscape illustration, tall. A mountain scene built as six stacked horizontal bands of flat colour, each one a simple silhouette with a jagged upper edge, arranged so the nearest band at the bottom is the darkest and each band above it is progressively lighter, ending in a pale flat sky. A small flat sun disc sits high in the sky as a single circle. No gradients anywhere, no texture, no outlines, no shading within any band. Palette of six tones from deep pine to pale mint. Hard clean edges between every band, 9:16.

Edit prompt
Flat illustration of a hand holding a phone with a simple interface on screen, generated with Recraft

Hand holding a phone

Flat vector illustration of a hand holding a phone, square. The hand is drawn as simplified geometric shapes with the thumb as a single rounded form, and the phone screen contains exactly three elements and nothing more: a wide bar at the top, one circle in the middle and a short bar beneath it. Built from solid fills with one darker flat tone per colour for the underside of the hand and the phone's edge. Palette of warm sand skin tone, charcoal device, one accent coral and a cream ground. No gradients, no shadows, no outlines, no reflections on the screen, 1:1.

Edit prompt
Flat illustration of a crowd of many small simplified figures in different colours, generated with Recraft

Crowd of forty small figures

Flat vector illustration of a crowd, where roughly forty simplified figures fill the frame, all constructed from the same small set of parts, a rounded head, a simple torso shape and two straight legs, and varying only in colour, height and the angle of the arms. No faces beyond two dots. Figures overlap freely to build depth, with no shadows anywhere. Palette of eight flat colours distributed evenly across the crowd on a cream ground. No gradients, no outlines, no texture, no perspective. Even spacing with no gaps, 4:3.

Edit prompt
Flat hero illustration for a web page with a central subject and space for text, generated with Recraft

Hero scene with space at left

Flat vector hero illustration for a web page, wide. The right half holds a simple scene of a person at a desk with a plant and a window, built from solid flat shapes, and the entire left half is left as plain flat background colour with nothing in it at all, reserved for a headline. Solid fills with one darker flat tone per colour. Palette of muted indigo, warm sand, sage and cream. No gradients, no drop shadows, no outlines, no texture. Shapes simplified and geometric, generous margins, nothing crossing into the reserved area, 16:9.

Preguntas frecuentes

How do I use these flat illustration prompts?
Copy a prompt, paste it into Morphic with Recraft selected, and run it as written. Then change the subject and keep the clauses that forbid gradients, shadows and texture, because those negatives are what hold the style. Removing them is the single fastest way to end up with a soft shaded picture instead.
Why is this library built for Recraft?
Flat vector work is what the logos, branding and design assets tier is for. On test it returned solid fills with no gradients, no drop shadows and no brush texture on the first attempt, which is exactly the failure the other models kept producing when asked for flat work.
How do I stop the result looking subtly three-dimensional?
Ban the specific things that create depth rather than asking for flatness. No gradient, no drop shadow, no highlight, no ambient occlusion, no texture. Then give it a legitimate way to show form instead, usually one darker tone per colour used as a hard-edged shape.
How do I keep a whole set of illustrations consistent?
Write the palette and the line rule once and repeat them word for word in every prompt. Name the exact colours, say whether there are outlines and how thick, and fix the corner radius. Consistency in this style comes almost entirely from those two sentences, not from the subject matter.
Can I get these as vectors rather than as images?
What comes back is a raster image, so treat it as a design reference rather than as production artwork. Because the style is built from flat shapes with hard edges, it traces cleanly if you need real vectors, and the prompts here deliberately avoid gradients and soft edges that would make that trace difficult.
