Recraft
AI image generation platform that creates true editable SVG vectors from text prompts
About
Recraft is a professional AI image generation platform purpose-built for designers and brand teams. It stands alone as the only AI image tool capable of generating true, editable SVG vector files directly from text prompts — output that exports cleanly to Adobe Illustrator, Figma, or as CMYK-ready files for print production. Beyond vector generation, Recraft delivers photorealistic and illustrative raster images, an infinite canvas workspace for real-time team collaboration, brand style training from reference images, inpainting and outpainting editing, and accurate text rendering within generated images. The platform's V3 model has held the number one position on the Hugging Face Text-to-Image Leaderboard for over five consecutive months with an ELO of 1172 and 72 percent win rate, outperforming Midjourney v6.1 and all OpenAI models in blind evaluations. Recraft's brand consistency tools let teams upload reference images to train custom styles, enforce color palettes, and position logos with precision — eliminating the post-editing workflow that plagues other AI image generators. The Creative Upscale feature adds genuine detail rather than just interpolating pixels, and the product mockup generator creates marketing-ready shots without expensive photo shoots. Used in production by design teams at Netflix, HubSpot, Airbus, and Asana, Recraft has grown to over three million users. The generous free tier offers 30 daily credits with no sign-up friction, while Pro plans start at 12 dollars per month for 1000 credits with full commercial licensing.
