Recraft

AI design tool for brand-consistent vectors and images

About Recraft

Recraft is an AI image generation platform built for designers rather than casual prompt users. Its standout ability is producing true vector graphics as editable SVG files, alongside raster images, icons, illustrations and mockups, with controls that keep a whole set of assets in one consistent style. Its V3 model reached the top of public text-to-image leaderboards in late 2024 and is noted for rendering longer text inside images.

Users pick or create styles from reference images, lock brand colors, and generate icon sets or illustration series that look like they belong together. A canvas workspace supports inpainting, outpainting, background removal, upscaling, vectorizing raster images and placing designs onto product mockups. A Figma plugin and an API bring generation into existing design workflows. The free plan gives daily credits with public images; paid plans add monthly credits, private generations and commercial rights.

Recraft fits product designers, brand teams and marketers who need scalable icons, illustrations and on-brand graphics, especially when they will edit outputs in Figma or Illustrator. It is less suited to photorealistic art or cinematic scenes, credits can run out quickly on iterative work, and some styles need tuning to look polished. Midjourney leads for aesthetic and photographic imagery, Ideogram competes on typography, and Adobe Firefly integrates generative vectors and images into Illustrator and Photoshop.
