- Kenerate returns raster images; Recraft's editable SVG output is on Recraft's own site.
- Photos look more illustrated than on Seedream or GPT Image 2 (see the knight).

FAQ
Recraft questions
What is Recraft?
Recraft is a design-first image model family from Recraft, built for logos, packaging, posters and illustrations with accurate typography. Recraft V4 launched on 17 February 2026 with a 2048 px Pro version, and V4.1 followed on 14 May 2026. Recraft treats typography as part of the composition. Kenerate runs seven versions: V4.1 Flash, V4.1, V4.1 Pro, V4, V4 Pro, V3 and Recraft 20B.
Link to this answerHow much does Recraft cost on Kenerate?
It is credit-based, and the cost of each image is shown before you generate. V4.1 Flash uses the fewest credits and the Pro versions the most, so draft on Flash and re-run only finals on Pro. There is no subscription required: credits come in one-time packs that never expire (see /pricing). Recraft is not on the free plan.
Link to this answerCan Recraft make logos?
Yes, it is one of its strengths. In our tests Recraft made clean, brand-ready logos and spelled the brand name right every time. Put the brand name in quotes and describe the mark, style and palette, such as a flat vector or Swiss-grid look. Use a square ratio for logos, and draft on V4.1 Flash before finalising on V4.1.
Link to this answerDoes Kenerate export SVG from Recraft?
No. On Kenerate, Recraft returns raster images as PNG or JPG. Recraft's Vector versions, which output editable SVG, are available on Recraft's own site. For a logo you need as a vector, refine the concept on Kenerate first, then vectorise the final design or recreate it with a Recraft Vector version on Recraft's site.
Link to this answerCan I edit images with Recraft here?
No. Recraft takes no reference images on Kenerate, so it only creates new images from a text prompt. For edits, use Seedream 5.0 Pro, GPT Image 2 or Nano Banana 2, which accept reference images. A practical workflow is to design a logo or poster on Recraft, then edit it or place it into a scene with one of those models.

Built for design, not just pictures
Which Recraft to pick
Draft logos and layouts on V4.1 Flash, finalise on V4.1, and use a Pro version only when you need print resolution. Recraft 20B's 26 preset styles are handy for quick stylised assets.
