Recraft

What it is

Recraft is a generative tool aimed at designers, notable for producing vector (SVG) output, consistent brand styles, and precise control over layouts and mockups. Its model has topped image-generation quality leaderboards, and it offers a robust API. Recraft targets professional design work — icons, illustrations, and brand-consistent assets — rather than one-off art.

The only top-tier generator that outputs editable vectors and enforces brand styles — built for production design, not one-off art.
