FreemiumChecked

Recraft is an AI image platform with its own text-to-image models and a design workspace, Recraft Studio, for images, vectors and mockups. A Free plan exists, and paid plans start at $12 per month, billed monthly. It suits people who want to generate images, especially those who need vector output, reusable custom styles or an API for programmatic generation.

What Recraft does

Vector output is the detail that sets Recraft apart in its own row: the platform can generate images directly in vector format, and it also vectorizes existing images. Around that sit an AI image generator, a mockup generator, a photo editor with an eraser, an upscaler and a background remover. You can also build a custom style by uploading your own images and then reuse it across later generations.

Recraft runs its own text-to-image models, and paid plans add third-party models such as Nano Banana, Seedream, GPT Image and Flux. Video generation is reserved for the Pro plan and above. For developers, an API covers image and vector generation, editing, background removal, inpainting and outpainting, with usage billed by API Units.

Licensing depends on the plan. On the Free plan, images are public, owned by Recraft and not licensed for commercial use, and the free allowance is limited to a set of free credits, 3 generations per style per day and 3 image uploads daily. Paid plans grant ownership and commercial rights. Basic is $12 per month billed monthly with 1,000 credits per month, Pro is $20 per month with 2,000 credits, and Teams is $22 per seat per month.
