Most AI image generation tools on the market today can only output raster formats. Once enlarged, images blur and lose fidelity, making them unusable for print

Most AI image generation tools on the market today can only output raster formats. Enlarge the image and it blurs — unusable for print design or brand visual systems that need high resolution. Recraft V3 solves this at the root: it outputs editable SVG vector format directly, and supports precise brand color locking. Designers skip the whole "generate with AI, then manually vectorize/trace" step — slow, and quality bleeds out along the way. Recraft V3 Core Technical Breakthrough Traditional AI image generation models (Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion included) produce raster images made of pixels, resolution fixed at generation time. To convert AI-generated raster into vector, designers typically run Adobe Illustrator's Image Trace or similar auto-tracing tools — but results come out with rough lines, unsmooth curves, and heavy detail loss during conversion. Recraft V3's model architecture is built to generate paths, anchor points, and shape data directly in vector space, with native SVG files as final output. Per benchmark data published on the official Recraft technical blog , the V3 model beats DALL-E 3 and Midjourney v6 on ELO scoring for image quality, with especially strong results in the specific niche of brand visual asset generation. Supported output formats: SVG vector, PNG raster up to 4096×4096 pixels, and Lottie animation format for motion interface design. Precise Brand Color Control Palette Locking Designers specify a brand-specific palette (up to five HEX values) before generation, and every graphic the AI produces is strictly limited to those colors — no color shift, no substitution. This solves the long-standing "color drift" problem in AI image generation: in other AI tools, even with colors explicitly named in the prompt, output colors still often land noticeably off from the brand spec. Style Consistency Designers upload existing brand visual assets as style reference. The V3 model learns and reproduces visual traits from those references —
