A closer look at Recraft
Recraft is a browser-based AI design workspace for generating images, editing visuals, and producing raster or true vector (SVG) graphics. Its canvas, style controls, and brand style training target production design work — logos, icons, app assets, and brand illustrations — where assets must scale cleanly, stay editable, and match exact hex colors. It combines its own Recraft models (V4.x) with selectable external models on paid plans.

When to choose Recraft
- Designers and brand teams producing logos, icons, UI elements, and brand illustrations that must scale, stay editable, and keep exact brand colors — Recraft's vector output, brand style training, and canvas workflow are built for production design rather than one-off pretty pictures.
- Teams that want print-ready output with inpainting, background removal, and eraser refinement.
When to choose something else
- Anyone chasing pure photorealism or painterly art for art's sake — Midjourney and FLUX-class models are stronger there.
- Also a poor fit if you need a permanent free tier for commercial output, since free generations are public and non-commercial.
A practical starting workflow
- Describe the asset or upload a reference on the canvas; pick a style or train a brand style from existing assets; generate raster or vector variants; refine with inpainting, background removal, or the eraser; upscale (Crisp or Creative) and export at custom DPI, including CMYK output for print.
- Review the output and adjust inputs based on results.

Check before committing
- Free-tier output is public in the community gallery, owned by Recraft, and not licensed for commercial use — fine for testing, not for client work. Subscription credits reset each billing cycle and do not roll over, so a quiet month is money spent on nothing. Vector/SVG output costs roughly double the credits of raster output. Model and reference-image support varies by plan; check the picker before combining several references.
- Pricing and feature availability may change; confirm current terms on the official website before committing.
Common questions
Can I use Recraft's free tier for client work?
No. The free tier's outputs are public, owned by Recraft, and restricted to personal use. Commercial rights start with the paid Basic plan.
What makes Recraft different from Midjourney or DALL-E?
Recraft is vector-first: it can generate and export true SVG/vector graphics that scale cleanly and stay editable, which raster-only generators cannot do. That is its core differentiator for logos, icons, and brand assets.
How much does Recraft cost?
Basic costs $12/month (about $10/month on annual billing) for 1,000 credits a month with commercial rights and private generations. Pro starts at $20/month for 2,000 credits and adds video generation. Prices re-checked via web search on 2026-10-24; confirm at checkout.
