AI Tool Profile
Recraft
Recraft is an AI image generator and design platform known for editable vector output, logos, icons and text inside images. It has web, iOS and Android apps and an API. Free-plan images are not licensed for commercial use.
Description of Recraft
Recraft is a text-to-image model and design platform. Its main product, Recraft Studio, is a web workspace for generating and editing images, vectors and mockups with Recraft's own models and other third-party image models. The company says its strengths are photorealism, vector generation and reusable custom styles.
The feature most relevant to designers is vector output. Recraft describes generating editable vector graphics and keeping a consistent style across a set of designs. Logos, icons, ads, characters and stock-style images are listed as use cases, and the homepage highlights typography, meaning readable lettering inside images. Users can supply reference images and have the tool turn them into a reusable style without training a model.
The site lists a set of supporting tools: an image generator, an image vectorizer, a vector generator, a photo editor, a mockup generator, an upscaler, a background remover and an eraser. Besides the web app there are iOS and Android apps, and a developer page links to an API. No third-party integrations are listed on the homepage.
A key caveat sits in the pricing FAQ. Images made on the Free plan are owned by Recraft, appear in a public community gallery and are not licensed for commercial use, so they generally cannot be sold on stock sites. The pricing page text we could read did not show plan prices or credit amounts, so confirm the current price and credit allowance on recraft.ai before you pay.
