Recraft
Recraft provides text-to-image generation, reference image support and image editing, with output in SVG, PNG, JPG, PDF, TIFF and Lottie formats. API access is available, and API is the listed platform. Its free plan includes 30 daily credits. Monthly AI credits are listed as 1,000 credits per month, alongside the plan-specific credit amounts. Commercial use is limited. Recraft was founded in 2022 and is headquartered in London, United Kingdom. The free plan offers a way to use the product without a listed subscription price, while the named tiers specify progressively larger credit totals. The combination of image generation, editing, references and multiple export formats may be relevant to people creating or modifying visual assets, including those who need vector and raster outputs.
