Image vectorization with Recraft is easy! Just log into your Recraft account and create a new project. From there, you can import a raster or bitmap image and vectorize it, or go from text to vector with Recraft's AI vector generator. Edit your rasterized vector art by changing the aspect ratio, modifying the color palette or enhancing the image quality with AI upscaling. Finally, download your vector art as an SVG file.
Vectors are computer graphics that are created directly from geometric shapes, like points, lines and curves. Other image types may become low quality when the image size changes, but vectors maintain their quality at any size! They're often used to create icons and logos for that very reason.
A raster image (also called a bitmap image) is created using colorized pixels. Enlarging raster/bitmap images affects their quality—edges can look blurred, choppy and pixelated. This is a common design challenge that is resolved by using a vector file.
SVGs, or vector images, are made up of vector shapes—points, curves, paths and lines based on mathematical formulas. Vector graphics create clean, easy-to-modify images that maintain full resolution. Whether you create a cropped image or scale it up to billboard size, you won't lose any of the sharpness or quality!
Responsive websites, more and more print formats and almost all modern typography now require SVG file input.
Absolutely! All you need is a vectorizer (or an SVG converter). The Recraft AI image vectorizer is free. Just upload your raster images in any file format, and the vectorizer will flip them into SVG files. The best part? You get an AI design toolkit to iterate your vectors endlessly.
A scalable vector graphic (SVG) is an XML-based vector image format for 2D graphics. SVG can be rendered at any resolution, unlike PNG or JPG files, which pixelate and lose their sharpness when enlarged. SVG files, also called vector graphics, are increasingly popular for designers looking to maintain their quality, and they're easy to edit and scale.
Easy. Use an SVG converter! The Recraft PNG or JPG to vector converter is a free and simple-to-use online tool. Sign-up takes just 30 seconds and is completely free.
Recraft is a free AI design platform for designers, illustrators and marketers. It lets you easily generate and endlessly iterate original images, scalable vector graphics, illustrations, icons and 3D graphics using the power of AI. You can start from scratch using a text prompt, upload an image and modify everything about it, or even upload a brand style to generate on-brand images, AI photos, icon sets and other visuals.
Yes! Recraft has a free version with most of the functionality that designers need as well as a paid version. We recommend you start for free and see if you need the additional functionality of the paid subscription. Sign up at recraft.ai.
