Recraft is built for design output rather than pictures alone. Its standout is generating complex, editable vector graphics, which suits logos, icons, illustrations and packaging work that has to scale. Custom styles and color palettes help keep a series of images on brand, and paid plans let you run third-party models such as Nano Banana, Seedream, GPT Image and Flux from the same workspace, up to 20 images per generation. Licensing is clear: paid plans grant full ownership and commercial rights, images stay private, and they remain yours after you cancel, while Free plan images are public, owned by Recraft and not licensed for commercial use. Basic costs $10 a month on annual billing for 1,000 credits, Pro adds video at $16, and Teams at $18 per seat brings shared workspaces, shared styles, centralized billing and SSO. Credits reset monthly, with non-expiring top-ups for busier months. An API covers vector generation, inpainting and batch jobs.
