Recraft
AI design tool that generates true scalable vector graphics, icons, and illustrations - not just raster images.
Our take
Uniquely useful for brand and product design - the only major tool that exports clean, scalable vector files.
Best for
Brand designers and marketers who need icons, illustrations, and vector assets they can scale and edit afterward.
Pros
- Generates true scalable vector (SVG) output, not just raster images
- Pro plan ($20/mo) includes commercial rights
- Strong icon and illustration styles
Cons
- Less suited to photorealistic imagery than Midjourney or Firefly
- Smaller community and style library than Midjourney
How it compares
The only tool here with native vector export - a different use case from Midjourney's and Firefly's raster-focused output.
Full review
Recraft is an AI design tool focused on vector graphics and brand-consistent assets — icons, illustrations, logos, and UI elements — generating output in formats (SVG) that are immediately useful for design work, not just raster images.
Its vector generation is the key differentiator: where most AI image tools output raster images (PNG/JPG) that designers then need to trace or recreate as vectors, Recraft can generate scalable vector graphics directly, along with matching icon sets and style-consistent illustration sets for a cohesive brand look.
Pricing includes a free tier with limited generations and paid plans for higher volume and commercial use. For designers who need vector-ready assets — icon sets, scalable illustrations, brand graphics — Recraft fills a gap that raster-focused tools like Midjourney and DALL-E don't address directly.
