Overview

Recraft generates vector-style graphics and keeping a consistent brand look, which suits logo-adjacent and icon work. The licensing is explicit: free-plan images are public and not for commercial use, while paid-plan images are yours. Credit costs depend on the model, so test with a small plan first. Exact plan prices are not shown here, so check them directly.

Who it's for

A good fit if you are…

  • Designers who want vector output and consistent brand styles
  • Developers building image pipelines through the API

Another tool may suit you better if you are…

  • People who need free commercial use (free-plan images are public and non-commercial)
