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.

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 We do not publish numbers we have not measured.
