Google Gemini (Nano Banana / Imagen)
Google's fast, photorealistic image engine with a generous free tier.
The AI tool that generates true editable vector graphics.
Recraft solves a problem most generators ignore: producing true SVG vector graphics directly from text prompts, ideal for logos, icons, and brand illustrations that need to scale from favicon to billboard and stay editable in Illustrator or Figma. It also generates raster images and supports brand-style learning from uploaded assets so every new asset matches your visual identity. Built for product, brand, and UI/UX designers, it offers a free tier and affordable paid plans, plus an API priced per raster or vector image.
Recraft uses a free pricing model, with paid plans from Free / $10-$12/month (paid entry). A free tier lets you test it before committing.
Recraft is best suited for Brand, product, and UI/UX designers who need scalable, editable vector assets like logos and icons rather than photos. It earns its place for only major tool with strong true-vector output — though it's worth weighing the trade-off that free-tier images are public.
