Recraft Vectorize — raster into a clean vector
Recraft Vectorize has a narrow, honest job: produce editable curves, not a “similar-looking picture”. It is useful when the next step is Figma or Illustrator and scaling without jagged edges matters — for logos, icons, and outlines you will refine by hand.
Who it really saves time for
- Logos and marks drawn as raster first or pulled from a photo.
- Icons and pictograms for UI that need a consistent line weight.
- Files for a plotter or print with clean edges.
When vectorizing beats generating
If you need an actual SVG you will scale and edit by nodes, generative models will not help — they output pixels. Recraft Vectorize builds curves from a finished raster, and the result opens in any vector editor. It is the final step of a pipeline: a logo is drawn or generated first, then converted to vector.
For sticker packs with transparent backgrounds there is fofr/sticker-maker, and for a clean PNG without vector there is recraft-ai/recraft-remove-background.
What matters on input
Clean, contrasty images with clear outlines vectorize best. Heavy noise and smooth gradients are the pain of any tracer, so a noisy raster is sometimes faster to clean up a little first, then vectorize. The credit cost is shown before you run.
Frequently asked about Recraft Vectorize
Will it handle a noisy photo?
Heavy noise and gradients make tracing harder. It is sometimes faster to clean the raster a little first and then vectorize, so the curves come out tidier.
What format is the result?
The output is SVG, which opens in Figma, Illustrator, Inkscape, and any modern browser and scales without quality loss.
Is it suitable for print logos?
Yes, it is the standard way to move an old raster logo to vector for a site, print, and merch. A designer often still does the final node cleanup.
How much does it cost?
Charged in credits by tariff; the sum is shown in the app before you run and on the pricing page.
