What is Recraft?
Recraft is a web-based AI image tool (Recraft Studio) with an API. It generates raster and vector images and can edit, vectorize, upscale and export them, with SVG export for vector output.
Who it's for
Designers, marketers and teams who need vector graphics, icons, logos, mockups or images in a consistent style. Developers can reach the same models through a pay-as-you-go API.
Pros & cons
Strengths
- Recraft lists vector generation and the Vector Editor on every plan, including Free
- Vector images export as SVG, and PNG, JPG, TIFF and PDF are also listed export formats
- Custom styles can be built from one to ten reference images, and Teams plans share custom styles
- Paid plans include private images and commercial rights while subscribed, and Recraft says images stay private after cancellation
- The API is billed as prepaid pay-as-you-go units ($1 buys 1,000), separate from subscription credits, and Recraft says API inputs and outputs are never used for model training
Limitations
- Free plan images are public, may appear in the community gallery, remain Recraft's property and are not licensed for commercial use
- The Free plan has limited daily credits, up to 3 image uploads a day, up to 2 images per prompt and no top-ups. Recraft's docs do not state the daily credit amount
- Subscription credits do not roll over. They reset daily on Free and monthly on paid plans
- Credit cost depends on the model and action. Recraft's docs list examples such as 2 credits for a raster image, 4 for a vector image and 10 for Enhance
- Recraft says training on your content is on by default for Free with no opt-out, on by default for Pro with an opt-out, and off for Teams

Recraft's pricing page showed only FAQ text, so plan prices are from its docs page on paid plans. One Teams tier looked inconsistent in those docs, so we leave it out. Confirm figures on the live pricing page.
