Recraft V4.1 Vector

Recraft's vector generation path, which outputs genuinely editable SVG files rather than raster images that need tracing.

Commercial use
Permitted subject to conditions

Available as V4.1 Vector, V4.1 Vector Pro, and Utility vector variants, plus a separate cheap vectorization endpoint for converting existing raster art. This is the main differentiator versus every other model in this list.

Supported aspect ratios is not established here. That means no page we could retrieve stated it, not that the model lacks one.

Strengths

  • True editable SVG output — recolour and reshape after generation
  • Only credible per-image vector API in this category
  • $0.01 vectorization endpoint for converting existing assets

Weaknesses

  • Vector output costs roughly 2-4x the raster equivalent
  • Complex photorealistic subjects are a poor fit for vector
  • No documented complexity or path-count limits
