Got questions?

What’s the difference between subscription credits and top-up credits?
Subscription credits are included in your plan and reset at the start of each billing cycle — unused credits don’t roll over. Top-up credits are purchased separately, never expire, and are used automatically once your monthly credits run out. Top-ups are only available to users on Basic and Pro plans.
How much do operations cost?
Credit costs vary depending on the type of action and the model used. For more details, please see the External Models pricing as well.
What payment methods are accepted?
Recraft accepts credit cards, debit cards, and bank transfers. Payments are processed securely via Stripe.
Can I get a refund?
Refunds are available if your account has used fewer than 30 credits in total and your most recent payment was made within the past 30 days. To request one, cancel your subscription and contact support at help@recraft.ai. Refunds are issued to the original payment method.
How do I cancel my subscription?
You can cancel at any time: — Click your profile in the upper right and select “Manage subscription” — Click “Cancel plan” and confirm Your plan remains active until the end of the current billing period. After cancellation, images created during your paid subscription remain private and under your ownership.
Who owns the images I generate on the Free plan?
Images generated on the Free plan are owned by Recraft. They are publicly visible in the community gallery and are not licensed for commercial use. For example, they cannot typically be listed on stock platforms, which require proof of ownership.
Who owns the images I generate on a paid plan?
Paid plans grant you full ownership and commercial rights for all images generated while subscribed. You may use them freely for marketing, branding, product packaging, or any other professional purpose. Images remain private and are not shown in the community gallery.
What happens to my images if I cancel my subscription?
Images created during a paid subscription remain private and under your ownership even after the subscription ends. They will not be made public. You keep full ownership and commercial rights to those images even after cancellation.
Does Recraft offer an API?
Yes. The Recraft API provides programmatic access to image and vector generation, editing, background removal, inpainting, outpainting, batch jobs, and asynchronous processing. It is designed for developers building internal tools, customer-facing features, or high-volume visual pipelines.
Which models are available via the API?
All models across the V2, V3, V4 and V4.1 generations are available via the API. More information can be found in API documentation.
How is API usage billed?
