## Key features

- **Vector generation:** Generates editable SVG icons, logos and illustrations, and converts raster images to vectors. Vector tools are on every plan, including Free.
- **Custom styles and palettes:** Pick from a style library or create your own style from reference images, and set brand color palettes to keep a set of images consistent.
- **Editing tools:** Edit with plain-language instructions, erase or modify areas, extend images, remove or replace backgrounds and upscale.
- **Mockups:** Generate a product mockup and apply your own design to it inside Recraft Studio, at 2 credits per mockup.
- **Agentic and manual modes:** Chat with an assistant that sets up generations over several turns, or control model, style, aspect ratio and artistic level by hand.

## Good for

- Brand teams keeping a set of images on one style and palette
- Figma and Framer users who want generation inside their design tool

## Worth knowing

- Free-plan images are public, belong to Recraft and cannot be used commercially.
- Video generation needs Pro or Teams; Basic covers images only.
- Monthly credits do not roll over. Top-ups cost $2 per 200 credits, never expire and are sold only on paid plans.
- Teams credits are assigned per seat and cannot be shared between members.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.6 out of 4**, graded Oct 17, 2026. Recraft is the designer's pick here: it makes editable SVG icons and logos as well as images, and keeps a whole set on one style and palette. Basic is $10 a month on yearly billing for about 500 of its own images, with commercial rights. Free images belong to Recraft, though, and video needs Pro.

- **Value for money: B.** Basic is $10 a month on yearly billing ($12 monthly) for 1,000 credits, level with this category's cheaper quarter of $9.99. That's about 500 Recraft V4.1 images, plus partner models, private images and commercial rights. Video needs Pro at $16.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** Daily credits on Recraft's own models, vectors included, but only 3 uploads a day and 2 images per prompt. Free images are public, belong to Recraft and can't be used commercially.
- **Features: B.** Editable SVG icons, logos and illustrations, raster-to-vector, custom styles and brand palettes, editing, mockups, an assistant mode, and video on Pro. It covers the job, with vectors as its edge.
- **Ease of use: C.** No App Store rating on record. Styles, palettes, mockups and a canvas give a designer plenty to set up before it pays off.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iPhone, Android and a Chrome extension, with plugins for Figma, Framer, Google Docs and Google Slides and a separate API. No desktop app, which an A needs.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Recraft you would be making an image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $120 a year.

- You could not: An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make.
- You could not: A video model, which you can rent by the second but not make.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Figma, Framer and Google Docs among them, and has an API.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
