Recraft V3 SVG - AI Image Models Tool

Overview

Recraft V3 SVG (code-named “red_panda”) is a design-focused text-to-image model that outputs production-ready SVG vector artwork directly from text prompts. It is positioned for logo, icon, and typography generation where crisp paths, editability, and precise text placement matter; the model is offered via Replicate and other hosted UIs and playgrounds. ([replicate.com](https://replicate.com/recraft-ai/recraft-v3-svg)) Developed as the V3 family of Recraft models, V3 (released in October 2024) advanced photorealism and—critically for designers—accurate mid-size and long-form text rendering plus explicit control over text position and style. Recraft has highlighted V3’s design-centric controls (style presets, brand-style customization from reference images, and both raster and vector outputs) as core differentiators. ([recraft.ai](https://www.recraft.ai/docs/recraft-models/recraft-V3)) The model gained community attention after appearing on the crowdsourced Artificial Analysis / Hugging Face Image Arena leaderboard (the anonymous “red_panda” entry) and outperforming several established models in human-preference evaluations. Press coverage noted the leaderboard performance and the model’s strong text rendering. For production use, Replicate’s model page confirms commercial use is permitted for images generated on the platform.

Key Features

• True SVG output: generates editable vector files ready for Illustrator, Figma, or Inkscape.
• Precise text placement: specify exact text position, size, and long-form text blocks.
• Design-style presets: built-in styles like engraving, line_art, linocut for brand-ready aesthetics.
• Brand customization: ingest reference images to maintain consistent brand styling.
• Raster & vector support: can produce both SVG and raster outputs for mixed workflows.
• Prompt Enhancer and safety checker: hosted UIs include prompt refinement and content filters.
• API-accessible: run programmatically via Replicate and integrate into pipelines and MCP tools.

Example Usage

Example (python):

import os
import replicate

# Install: pip install replicate
# Set your API token in the environment: REPLICATE_API_TOKEN
# This example calls the public model "recraft-ai/recraft-v3-svg" with common inputs.

prompt = (
    "Minimalist line-art circular logo of a mountain peak, centered title text 'ALPINE', "
    "clean strokes, single-color vector, editable paths"
)

output = replicate.run(
    "recraft-ai/recraft-v3-svg",
    input={
        "prompt": prompt,
        "aspect_ratio": "1:1",            # common options: 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, etc.
        "style": "line_art",              # style presets (engraving, line_art, linocut, ...)
        "enable_safety_checker": True       # optional safety/content filter
    }
)

# replicate.run returns FileOutput objects for file outputs; write the first output to disk
with open("output.svg", "wb") as f:
    f.write(output[0].read())

print("Saved SVG to output.svg")

# Notes: adjust inputs to match the model playground's documented parameters.
# See Replicate docs for client usage and the model README for parameter details. 

Pricing

Hosted listings and marketplaces (Replicate/third-party hosts) list Recraft V3 SVG at approximately $0.08 per SVG generation; some listings contrast raster and vector pricing (e.g., raster ≈ $0.04). Prices may vary across hosts, and platform-specific rates (and available free tiers) should be checked on the provider’s model page or pricing documentation.
