You can convert raster images into editable vector graphics directly within Recraft Stuio. Once vectorized, the image becomes scalable without quality loss and fully editable in terms of color. How to vectorize an image:
  1. Place a raster image (e.g., PNG or JPG) onto the canvas.
  2. Select the image, then click the Vectorize icon in the context panel.
  3. Use the Color Reduction slider to limit the number of colors in the output—this helps simplify complex images or prepare for print.
  4. Edit colors using two available modes:
    • Swatches mode (default): Click on individual color swatches to replace specific colors.
    • Spectrum mode: Adjust entire ranges of related colors at once—for example, shift all blue tones to green. Ideal for images with many subtle variations.
  5. When you’re satisfied, export the vector as an SVG file for use in web, print, or design workflows.
Note: Not all images can be cleanly vectorized. Photorealistic images, 3D renders, or highly textured illustrations may produce artifacts when converted to SVG, since the format supports only simplified shapes, lines, and fills.
