Recraft AI API
Recraft AI provides a professional image and vector generation API that natively outputs true SVG vector graphics from text prompts — not raster-to-vector traces, but clean scalable paths directly from the model. Recraft V4 (released February 2026) is available in standard (1MP) and Pro (4MP) variants, and the API supports inpainting, outpainting, background removal, and over 100 style presets for visual consistency. Trusted by teams at Netflix, Microsoft, and HubSpot, Recraft is the go-to API for AI agents generating brand assets, icons, illustrations, or any design output that requires scalable vector format.
Viable option — review the tradeoffs
You need to generate scalable vector graphics like icons, illustrations, and brand assets directly from text prompts without raster traces or manual vectorization.
Top-tier text rendering, style consistency, and prompt adherence (beats Midjourney/OpenAI benchmarks); low-latency async batch jobs scale well, but costs $0.04+ per image.
You want precise control over image layouts, text positioning, and brand styles in automated design pipelines without heavy prompt engineering.
Predictable results with positioning control and high aesthetic value; excels in graphic design but may need iteration for complex scenes.
Your AI agents or apps require on-demand image editing and high-volume generation for user content, A/B tests, or internal tools.
Reliable for pros (Netflix/Microsoft use it); strong vector fidelity but watch API units billing for volume.
Recraft wins on native vectors, text/layout control, and design benchmarks; DALL-E better for general photorealism.
Pick Recraft for scalable SVGs, brand assets, precise editing in design workflows.
Pick DALL-E for quick raster prototypes or broad creative exploration without vector needs.
API Units Depletion
All tokens share one balance; generation consumes units ($0.04+/image via V3/V4)—monitor via account or risk failed requests mid-batch.

What It Actually Does
Recraft AI API turns text prompts into professional images and scalable vector graphics, plus edits like upscaling, background removal, and brand-style customization.
