About Recraft AI
Recraft AI generates production-grade vector files (SVG) directly from prompts—genuine vector output with structured layers and clean geometry, not rasterized conversions. The V4 models (February 2026) represent a complete rebuild prioritizing design aesthetics, prompt accuracy, and high-quality output.
V4 comes in two versions: V4 (1MP) for everyday use and fast iteration, and V4 Pro (4MP) for print-ready assets and large-scale applications. Both share the same creative capabilities. AI vectorization also converts existing raster images into editable vectors.
Brand consistency features include custom styles from reference images and an AI color palette generator with locked brand colors. The all-in-one creative suite handles digital illustrations, vector graphics, 3D renders, and complete mockups. Creative Upscale enhances resolution by intelligently adding detail—transforming low-res concepts into print-ready finals.
Natural language editing lets you refine, restyle, and iterate with precise control over text positioning and size. MCP support enables image generation directly through AI agents like Claude and Cursor.
Free: 30 daily credits (public, no commercial use). Pro ($10/mo annual): 1,000 monthly credits, private images, commercial license, external models (Nano Banana, Seedream, GPT Image, Flux), 4K upscaling. Teams ($55/seat/mo annual): 9,000 credits/seat, shared workspace, SSO, premium support.

Editor's Review
Editor's Review (February 2026)
Recraft V4 (February 2026) is a complete rebuild and it shows. The design aesthetics, prompt accuracy, and vector quality are noticeably improved. MCP integration enabling generation directly through Claude and Cursor is a brilliant workflow addition.
What We Love:
• V4 models are a complete rebuild with noticeably improved design aesthetics
• Production-grade SVG output with structured layers—not rasterized conversions
• MCP integration lets you generate images directly through Claude and Cursor
• Natural language editing provides precise control over refinement and restyling
• External model access (Nano Banana, Seedream, GPT Image, Flux) on Pro plan
What Could Be Better:
• Free tier generates public images—not suitable for commercial use
• Creative Upscale costs 20 credits per image (vs 1-2 for generation)
• V4 Pro (4MP) for print-ready quality requires more credits
• Complex designs may still need manual refinement in vector editors
Who Should Use It:
UI/UX designers needing consistent icon sets, brand designers creating scalable logos, and developers who need SVG assets. The MCP integration makes it particularly valuable for AI-native workflows with Claude and Cursor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q:What are the V4 models?
Released February 2026, V4 is a complete rebuild of Recraft's image generation. V4 (1MP) is for everyday use and fast iteration. V4 Pro (4MP) is for print-ready assets. Both share the same creative capabilities and design vision.
Q:Does Recraft generate real SVG files?
Yes—Recraft generates production-grade SVG files with structured layers and clean geometry. The output contains actual vector paths that scale to any size without quality loss. It also converts raster images into editable vectors.
Q:What is MCP integration?
Recraft supports the Model Context Protocol, enabling image generation directly through AI agents like Claude and Cursor. This means you can generate design assets without leaving your coding environment.
Q:How much does Recraft cost?
Free: 30 daily credits (public, no commercial use). Pro ($10/mo annual): 1,000 credits, private images, commercial license, external models. Teams ($55/seat/mo): 9,000 credits, shared workspace, SSO. Gen costs 1-2 credits; Creative Upscale costs 20.
