What Is Recraft V3?
Recraft V3 targets design work rather than photography. Its most valuable trick is direct SVG output: you get a file you can recolour and reshape in Figma or Illustrator, not a bitmap somebody has to trace. Icon sets, logo concepts and brand illustration are its home turf.
What Is Recraft V3 Best For?
- Icons and icon sets
- Logo and wordmark concepts
- Flat and line-art illustration
- Work that ships as SVG
How to Use Recraft V3
- Select Recraft V3.
- Pick a Sub-style.
- Switch Output Format to Vector when you need SVG.
- Download and adjust colours in your design tool.

Recraft V3 Test Results
Testing in progress
Every model runs the same eight-category prompt set — portrait, product, poster text, anime character, interior, multi-reference, image editing and character consistency — recording generation time, success rate, text accuracy and identity retention. That run has not finished for Recraft V3, so this page shows no scores. We do not publish numbers we have not measured.
