Recraft

Recraft is an AI image model and design platform for photorealistic images, editable vector graphics, custom styles and product mockups.

Recraft builds its own text-to-image models, including Recraft V4.1 and the faster V4.1 Flash, and a design platform called Recraft Studio. The models follow complex prompts closely and produce photorealistic pictures, colorful illustrations, technically precise 3D and production-ready graphic design. Unlike most image generators, Recraft can output complex, editable vector graphics with design-ready typography, which suits logos, icons and print work. A custom style is created simply by dropping in reference images, with no training, and can then be reused across generations. The studio also offers frontier models from other labs, editing tools and mockups, and an API serves developers building visual pipelines, with free, Basic, Pro and Teams plans billed in credits.
