Overview

What it does.

Recraft is an AI image generator built around design use cases. Beyond photoreal raster images it generates true SVG vector illustrations, icon sets, and logos, lets users create and save custom styles from reference images, and offers an infinite canvas with tools for background removal, upscaling, mockups, and text-aware generation. Brand style consistency and vector output make it useful for small businesses producing icons for a website, illustrations for packaging, or a consistent set of social visuals. It has an API priced per image for developers. Paid plans provide private generation and commercial ownership of outputs. A caveat is that free-plan images are public and carry no commercial rights, and credit allowances, plan names, and prices have changed several times, so the current pricing page should be checked at purchase.

Pricing
Free plan with daily credits but no commercial license; Basic about $12.50/month ($10/month annual); Pro about $20/month ($16/month annual); Teams about $22.50 per seat/month ($18 annual); annual billing saves 20 percent (Oct 2026).
