When to use it
Section titled “When to use it”Making a logo, icon, badge or flat illustration that has to scale cleanly and open as editable paths, not a picture of one.
When to reach for something else
Section titled “When to reach for something else”It draws flat, editable shapes from words, not photoreal imagery or rich shading, and it cannot start from a picture you already have.
How to use it
Section titled “How to use it”- Write what you want in Prompt.
- Pick a model in the pill at the top of the card, or keep Recraft v4.1.

On the card
Section titled “On the card”| Control | What it does | Choices |
|---|---|---|
| Prompt | What you want, in your own words. The card sends it with your inputs. | Your words |

Models
Section titled “Models”The pill at the top of the card picks the model. Recraft v4.1 is the one a new card starts on.
| Model | Good for |
|---|---|
| Recraft v4.1 | A real editable SVG from a description: logos, icons, badges and flat illustration with clean geometry and separable paths, landing on the canvas as a live vector rather than a picture of one. |
| Ideogram Vector | An editable SVG from words when the layout is exact or the mark is a logo: a wordmark with its emblem, a badge with curved lettering, a set of icons in a stated grid, or a banner up to 4:1. |
