Recraft

AI design platform for generating and editing images, vectors, styles, illustrations, and mockups.

Choose the asset type and style, refine the design, and check licence and privacy terms before using it commercially.

Access and pricing: Free-generated images are public and are not licensed for commercial use. Paid plans add private ownership and commercial rights under their terms; credits reset by billing cycle.

What it does well

Recraft's help content describes an API supporting image and vector generation, editing, background removal, inpainting, outpainting and batch jobs, with V2 through V4.1 models available. Together with the listed vector generation, custom styles and mockups, it covers both browser use and automated pipelines.

Who gets the most from it

Designers and developers who need vector or style-consistent assets, and teams that want to generate images programmatically.

Limits to check before you commit

The licence rules are the key point. According to the help content, free-plan images are owned by Recraft, publicly visible in the community gallery and not licensed for commercial use. On paid plans you own the images made while subscribed, with commercial rights, and they stay private even after cancellation. Subscription credits reset each billing cycle and do not roll over; top-up credits do not expire. API usage is billed separately in prepaid API Units that are non-cancellable and non-refundable except where the law requires. Credit costs vary by action and model.
