The outcome

Get into the official Recraft experience with the right account and a setup you understand.

Recraft is a AI design platform for raster images, vector graphics, icons, mockups, editing, and production exports. Creating art-directed brand visuals, illustrations, icons, scalable vector assets, mockups, and controlled image variations inside a design-oriented workflow. This guide narrows that broad capability into one repeatable outcome, with checkpoints that keep the source material and your judgment in the loop.

Before you begin

Set the boundary before the tool starts.

Choose one real task, identify who will use the result, and decide what evidence or test will make the result acceptable. Gather only the source material needed for that task. If the work contains confidential, personal, regulated, or client-owned information, confirm that the platform and account are approved before sharing it.

Troiana principle

AI should make the work easier to inspect. If the workflow removes the source, the owner, or the review step, redesign the workflow.

Step by step

A workflow you can repeat.

  1. 01

    Start at https://www.recraft.ai/ and confirm the domain before entering account or payment information.

  2. 02

    For desktop use, follow the official download link. Current availability: Recraft is available in web and mobile applications and through an API, with raster and vector generation, brand styles, editing, upscaling, mockups, typography controls, and production export formats..

  3. 03

    A Recraft account and suitable plan, rights to every uploaded or referenced asset, and a deliberate choice of model, privacy, ownership, commercial license, output format, and credit budget.

  4. 04

    Sign in with the account you intend to keep using, then review plan, data, notification, and permission settings.

  5. 05

    Run one low-risk test task before connecting sensitive files, repositories, or workspace data.

Working standard

What good use looks like.

  • Use official download pages.
  • Review permissions during setup.
  • Keep installers and applications updated.

Free-plan generations are public, owned by Recraft, and not licensed for commercial use, while paid-plan assets have different ownership and privacy terms. Do not upload confidential or third-party material without authority, assume generated marks are trademark-clear, or use assets to train another AI system contrary to Recraft's terms. Validate rights, text, vector paths, print color, accessibility, and production dimensions manually.
