Recraft
AI image generation with native editable SVG vector output for designers.
About
Recraft is the image generator built for designers rather than casual prompters: its V4 models produce actual SVG vectors with editable paths, not just vector-styled rasters, so logos and icons drop straight into Figma or Illustrator. It also handles brand-color conditioning and reusable style libraries for campaign consistency, plus a strong raster model for photographic work. The free plan is fine for evaluation but images are public with no commercial rights; paid plans start at $10 a month and unlock privacy, ownership, and an API with public per-image pricing.
