YUP. Cancel my subscription or give me the ability to switch back. There is no toggle for the old interface under my user name at top right. I'll try again tomorrow morning Sept 10 2026. If I still cant find it, I'll immediately cancel. This (changing interfaces) has been an ongoing source of stress... As creators if our tools cause us stress in the midst of creative inspiration they are useless to us.

Regional Walrus Could you please share which features you’re missing in the new interface? Or, which aspects of the old interface did you find more convenient?

Please try selecting Create in the left panel. It will provide you the interface very similar to the old one. Please let me know if it solves the problem.

Orchid Trout The main gripe is the dropdown menus. To sift through those is a flow-killer. For visual creatives having large visual buttons is a more intuitive way to to go (think Canva). However a HUGE improvement for the current RC interface would be persistent dropdowns that remember your last choice (think Photoshop. when you change tool through the dropdown it stays on top). - Thanks for reaching out Trout :)

Whoops, a week later the old UI is gone again. Better I keep the words on the tip of my tongue to myself ...

We just provided an update that brings the prompt panel back to the left, and improves reprompting experience. I hope this update solves the problem!

Dear Recraft support team, I have tears in my eyes. The old user interface is finally available again. A thousand kisses to everyone. And please, please, please keep the old UI forever.

I totally agree — your old interface was much better than the new one.
It was intuitive. You could see all needed instruments on one screen without extra clicks. For example, in the old interface you needed just one click to open color palette or change style. In the new one, you click "Settings" and only then can change color, style, or scale. You can place toolbar below, BUT the icons are sooo small!
The most annoying thing is generating new images. Earlier new images replaced old variations — now new images appear near old versions, take up too much space, and my workspace looks like a mess. Especially since new images don't appear in one line — they appear higher or lower than previous version.
I don't understand why I need chat. Maybe it's used in other AIs, but yours was special. Now it's just waste of space. I saw a comment about workspace — it became smaller and that's true! Earlier: small window on left, instruments center above, history on right. Now: chat on left (useless for me), needed instruments and settings are hidden with miserable small icons, tools and options on right.
Why did you do this? Recraft became a wonderful tool for me as designer — interface was like graphic editors such as Corel or Figma. Strong, logical interface. Recraft wasn't just another AI but really cool tool for me. But now appearance became more valuable than user comfort.
Totally, new interface is not user-friendly. I don't understand HOW to make new variations of my old image? I pick picture, click Generate, and get picture from previous generation because it was in chat! I need to click "Generate variations" in menu, choose count and scale, but can't change color palette there!
It's so sad, I just can't use your AI normally. I bought yearly subscription, so I'm very frustrated. When I saw new interface, I returned to old one in a moment.
Please, leave toggle to return to old interface — or just leave old interface as it was. I know your team did great and huge work, but pleeease don't make changes just for sake of changes. New interface didn't make your AI better — it became more complicated. New interface surely looks modern and stylish, BUT your AI isn't just for fun — it's really useful space for work and design, and I desperately want it to stay so professional.

Terrible update!
I recently purchased a yearly subscription, and now I can't use it. You've removed the most important feature for me: the ability to change the format in good quality. Previously, I could specify the size I needed, insert a high-quality image in 1:1 format, and generate the same image in a different format (16:9 or 9:16) in good quality. All the details of the original image remained the same, the quality didn't change, and the resolution matched the original. I generated it in Nana Banana/Nana Banana Pro, and I was happy with it. Now, even in Nana Banana 4K, I get low-quality and low-resolution images. If I rescale, the image turns out completely different! Bring back the old version, and let users choose which version to use!
You've made things worse!

Stop trying to be ChatGPT. The Old UI is so much better. The chat thing is not good.

I agree with the previous comments.
I would like to add that it is no longer possible to add a reference image under V3 and thus modify this image with personal styles.
10 credits that vanish (instead of 2) for a result that does not meet expectations at all!!
Please rehabilitate the old functionalities as soon as possible.
