Does Recraft really generate SVG?

Yes: the Vector variants return vector output rather than a raster image you would have to trace afterwards. That is what allows lossless resizing and clean recolouring.

Why vectors rather than a normal image?

For anything that must change size or colour without degrading: logos, icons, pictograms, identity elements. A raster image pixelates when enlarged and recolours badly.

Are there other vector models in the catalogue?

Recraft is the only family here with vector output. For crisp text inside a raster image, Nano Banana and Ideogram are the right calls.

Recraft, the only one here that returns vectors

Almost every image model produces pixels. Recraft also produces curves. That is a difference in kind, not in quality: a vector logo scales forever, recolours by variable and opens in a design tool. A PNG logo does none of that.

What Recraft does that the others do not

Vectors, actually

The Vector variants return shapes, not a raster image you would have to trace afterwards — an operation that fails on almost any gradient or fine outline. That is what makes brand-identity use possible.

Logos, icons, pictograms

This is what vectors are for: simple, crisp shapes that must hold at 16 pixels and on a building. Raster models fail that brief regardless of how photographic they are.

A palette you impose

In vector output a colour is a value, not an average of pixels. So it can be aligned to a brand palette instead of hoping the model lands close.

And raster output when you need it

Recraft V4.1 Pro also produces ordinary images, in png, jpeg or webp, across five formats. You choose in the picker depending on what you are making.

What Beemm Vision adds

An identity element rarely arrives alone: it is derived, placed on backgrounds, exported at several sizes.

Generate a pictogram then derive a whole set by replaying the workflow over a list.
Chain into a palette node to align colours with an existing brand.
Compare Recraft against Ideogram on the same typographic brief before deciding.
Ship the graph as an app so a team can produce its icons without opening the canvas.
One credit balance for vector work and everything else.
