The five most-asked questions
What is Recraft V3?
Recraft's current model, strong at design tasks: layouts, typography, vectors and brand-consistent illustration. It was among the first to generate editable SVG directly.
Is the vector output really editable?
Yes, SVG files open in Illustrator, Figma and Inkscape with editable paths. Expect to simplify paths and fix small overlaps for production logos.
How do custom styles work?
You upload a set of reference images and Recraft learns their look as a reusable style. Consistent references give a consistent style.
Can I control colours?
Yes, set a palette or specific brand colours and the generation sticks to them. It is the key tool for a set of icons or illustrations that must match.
Does Recraft handle text?
Short text renders reliably and you can control its position. As with any model, proofread every word and set long copy in your design tool.
