Recraft V4 Vector: AI Image Editor Online
Bottom line
Converts raster images into scalable vector artwork — the format logos and icons should live in. Open the Image Edit tool, select Recraft V4 Vector, upload your image, and the exact credit cost appears before the edit runs.
Where most editors output pixels, Recraft V4 Vector outputs geometry: feed it a raster image and it converts the shapes into vector artwork — paths and fills you can scale from a favicon to a billboard without a single soft edge. For logos, icons, and flat illustration, that is the format the work should have been in all along, and this model is the bridge for getting existing images there.
Recraft has built its reputation specifically on design-grade, vector-native image tooling rather than general-purpose photo generation, and V4 Vector is the vectorization tier of that stack. The practical rule of thumb: the flatter and cleaner your source — solid colors, defined edges, limited gradients — the closer the traced result lands to production-ready.
The model is rated 4.1 on VdoBloom and carries the HOT content label, the platform's most permissive filtering tier. Conversions run on VdoBloom credits, with the exact cost shown before you start a job.
What creators use Recraft V4 Vector for
- Turn an AI-generated or hand-sketched logo concept into production-ready vector art.
- Vectorize icons and flat illustrations for design systems that need lossless scaling.
- Rebuild low-resolution brand marks as clean paths instead of upscaling pixels.

Frequently asked questions
What does Recraft V4 Vector actually output?
Vector artwork — shapes defined as paths rather than a grid of pixels. That means the result scales to any size without blurring or artifacts, and it can be opened and refined in standard vector design tools.
What kinds of source images vectorize best with Recraft V4 Vector?
Flat, high-contrast graphics: logos, icons, badges, and illustration with solid fills and clear edges. Photographs and images with continuous tonal gradients are a poor fit for vector tracing and will come out heavily simplified.
How permissive is Recraft V4 Vector's content policy?
It carries the HOT label on VdoBloom, the more permissive and flexible filtering tier. Given that its job is tracing artwork you already have rather than generating new scenes, content refusals are rarely the bottleneck here.
How is this different from Recraft V4 Pro Vector?
This is the standard vectorization tier, well suited to straightforward flat art. Pro Vector is Recraft's advanced tier for more demanding conversions; since VdoBloom shows each job's credit cost before you generate, it is easy to compare the two on the same source.
