Recraft review

Recraft is built for design assets more than artwork. Its headline feature is generation of complex, editable vector graphics, which matters if you make icons, logos, stickers or print files that must scale. It also promotes consistent styles and design-ready typography, so a set of graphics can share one look. The current model line includes Recraft V4.1 Flash, and the API exposes image and vector generation, editing, background removal, inpainting, outpainting and batch jobs. Basic costs $12 a month or $10 a month billed annually for 1,000 credits, and Pro starts at $20 a month for 2,000 credits. Paid plans grant full ownership and commercial rights, and images stay private. The free plan is a test drive only: images made on it are owned by Recraft, appear in the community gallery and are not licensed for commercial use. Subscription credits reset each cycle, though purchased top-up credits never expire.
