## FAQ

**Can I export SVG files from Recraft?**

Yes. Recraft generates vector images as SVG, and vector generation and the Vector Editor are included on every plan, including Free. You can also convert a raster image to a vector with the vectorize tool.

**Is Recraft free to use?**

There is a Free plan with credits that reset daily, but its images are public, owned by Recraft and not licensed for commercial use. Paid plans start at $12 per month (Basic) and give you private images with full commercial rights.

**Who owns the images I generate?**

On paid plans you own the images you generate while subscribed, with commercial rights, and they stay private. You keep those rights after cancelling. Free plan images are owned by Recraft and appear in the community gallery.

**Does Recraft have an API?**

Yes. The Recraft API supports image and vector generation, editing, background removal, upscaling and vectorization. It is prepaid at $1 per 1,000 units, with images from about $0.007 each (V4.1 Flash), and it is billed separately from subscription credits.

**Does Recraft have mobile apps?**

Yes. There are iOS and Android apps (iOS and iPadOS 17.6 or later, Android 8.0 or later) that share your account, credits and projects with the web version.

**Which plans include video generation?**

Video generation is available on Pro and Teams plans. It is not available on Basic or Free.

**Do unused credits roll over?**

No. Subscription credits reset each billing cycle. Top-up credits, which you can buy on paid plans, never expire and are used after your monthly credits run out.
