Frequently Asked Questions
Can it really generate editable SVGs?
Yes. This is Recraft's standout feature. Generated SVGs have clean, organized paths that you can edit in any vector editor. Not just traced rasters.
Recraft vs Midjourney?
Midjourney excels at photorealistic and artistic images. Recraft is better for professional design assets — icons, illustrations, and brand graphics that need to be editable.
Commercial use allowed?
Yes. All generated assets can be used commercially, including the free tier.
