Recraft
True vector SVG + brand images
Free tier + paidAI media generationrecraft.ai
What it is
Design-focused generator whose Recraft V4 model (February 2026) outputs genuinely editable SVG rather than traced raster. Also covers raster images, mockups and infographics. One credit buys a raster image; a vector costs two.
Why it earns a slot
The only mainstream model emitting production-quality vector geometry you can open in Illustrator and edit node by node. Reach for it for logos, icon sets, and any layout where text must stay legible and infinitely resizable.
Know before you commit
Free-tier images are owned by Recraft, published to the public community gallery, and carry no commercial licence - you need a paid plan before any client work. Subscription credits reset monthly and never roll over.
Getting started
Public REST API available on all plans including Free; billed per image.
