Decision notes
Official-document research
Based on the cited documentation. We did not use the product, purchase a plan, or run quality, speed or reliability tests in this review.
Consider it for
- Designers who need SVG drafts they can inspect and refine
- Developers evaluating raster/vector generation with a separate API budget
Choose another approach if
- Commercial production using free-plan outputs
- Work requiring guaranteed print-ready or brand-approved output without inspection
Pricing and conditions
Documented terms
Free outputs are public and not commercially licensed; paid-plan outputs have private/commercial-use terms. API Units are prepaid separately from Studio credits and cost varies by model/operation. Subscription amounts, currency, tax and regional terms are unconfirmed.

Pricing or terms sourceCode, model and service licensing
Current Studio Free Tier assets are Recraft-owned and personal/non-commercial; paying later does not convert them. The vendor's 2024 FAQ preserves commercial use for pre-2024-08-12 free assets without ownership, and TOS7.5 separately licenses designated Community Assets for personal/commercial use. Paid-generated assets are assigned to you subject to terms, including no AI-model training. Studio inputs/assets grant broad rights with training enabled by default and an account opt-out; private visibility is not a no-training guarantee. API terms separately assign outputs and prohibit Recraft training on API assets, subject to support/legal exceptions and optional storage; MCP uses the active subscription's rights and third-party AI has separate policies. Obtain third-party rights; no service code/weight license is transferred.
Basis and limits of the recorded score
The existing 4.6 editorial score is retained; its original scoring evidence is not recorded here. This docs-only update did not measure vector usability, output quality or comparative performance and did not re-score it.
Overview
Recraft offers raster and SVG image workflows. Its vector documentation describes editable paths, strokes and fills, while API documentation covers generation, editing, vectorization and reusable styles. These features make it a candidate for icon and illustration drafts that will be refined in a design editor.
Choose the licence before using outputs commercially: Recraft says free-plan creations are public and not licensed for commercial use, while paid-plan creations have private/commercial-use terms. An SVG export does not remove the need to inspect paths, typography, brand fit and production requirements. No output or competing tool was tested here.
