Recraft V4 Pro Vector: AI Image Editor Online
Bottom line
Recraft's advanced vectorization tier, for conversions where a standard tracer leaves rough paths. Open the Image Edit tool, select Recraft V4 Pro Vector, upload your image, and the exact credit cost appears before the edit runs.
Vectorization is trivial on a two-color logo and genuinely hard on everything else — gradients, overlapping shapes, textured brushwork, fine linework that a naive tracer turns into a mess of jagged paths. Recraft V4 Pro Vector is the advanced tier of Recraft's vectorization stack, aimed at exactly those harder conversions where the standard tracer would leave you doing manual path cleanup afterward.
Recraft is the design-tooling company behind some of the most widely used vector-native image models, so an advanced conversion tier is an extension of its core specialty rather than a bolt-on feature. On VdoBloom, Pro Vector rates 4.2 — a notch above the standard V4 Vector's 4.1 — which tracks with its positioning for demanding source material.
Filtering carries the HOT label, meaning content rules are more flexible than typical provider defaults. Runs are billed in VdoBloom credits, and because the cost of a job is displayed before you generate, testing Pro against the standard vectorizer on the same source image is cheap to do deliberately.
What creators use Recraft V4 Pro Vector for
- Convert detailed illustrations with gradients and layered shapes into editable vector art.
- Produce print-ready vector versions of complex brand artwork and badges.
- Redo conversions where the standard vectorizer's output needed too much manual path cleanup.

Frequently asked questions
What does "advanced vectorize" mean compared to the standard Recraft V4 Vector?
Pro Vector is positioned for harder source material — artwork with gradients, overlapping elements, and fine detail that basic tracing tends to mangle. The standard tier covers simple flat art; VdoBloom users currently rate Pro slightly higher, 4.2 versus 4.1.
Can Recraft V4 Pro Vector vectorize photographs?
Vector tracing fundamentally works best on graphic art, and that holds even at the Pro tier. A photo with continuous tone will be simplified into flat shapes — sometimes a deliberate stylistic choice, but not a faithful reproduction.
Does Recraft V4 Pro Vector have strict content rules?
No — it carries the HOT label, VdoBloom's more permissive and flexible filtering tier. Since the model converts existing images rather than generating new content from scratch, refusals are uncommon in normal design work.
When is Pro Vector worth using over the standard version?
When your source has complexity a basic trace would flatten badly: gradients, dense linework, layered composition. VdoBloom shows the credit cost of each job before you generate, so a sensible approach is to run simple art through the standard tier and reserve Pro for the difficult pieces.
