    A Recraft Alternative for Vector Files, Not Vector-Style Pixels

    A logo needs paths, not more pixels. Versely routes to the model that outputs them.

    Recraft's real differentiator is a gap most image generators don't close: everything else outputs pixels, and a logo, an icon or a print asset usually needs paths. Versely's catalog carries that same distinction forward — 12 separate Recraft models, from Standard and Utility tiers through Pro Text-to-Vector, all selectable on one account.

    What follows is what sits around those 12 models: keeping a look consistent across a whole set of generations, and the raster tools for the parts of a project that were never going to be vector files anyway.

    Twelve entry points, not one model

    Versely's catalog lists 12 distinct Recraft models — plain Text-to-Image tiers running 4 to 25 credits depending on Standard, Utility or Pro, and dedicated Text-to-Vector engines running 8 to 30 credits that output real SVG paths rather than a raster image styled to look like one. Recraft V4 specifically carries 'typography' and 'vector_style' as catalog features in their own right, which is the same design-first positioning the brand built its name on.

    A vector file is the point, when it's the point

    The Text-to-Vector variants solve a problem a raster upscaler can't: a logo mark that needs to scale from a favicon to a billboard, or a die-cut sticker outline, needs actual paths. Versely routes to the vector-output models for that specific job and to the raster tiers for everything else, rather than asking one model to do both.

    A locked style across a whole set

    reference_images, passed on the same generate_images call used for a single image, pins a look across a batch — the specific problem a forty-icon set or a multi-piece asset system runs into, where the fifth glyph has to match the first one's stroke weight and corner radius rather than reinterpreting the brief from scratch. num_images renders several candidates per prompt in the same call, so a family of related assets gets reviewed together instead of approved one at a time.

    Vector for the file that needs paths, raster tools for the rest

    Not every asset in a design system needs to be a vector — a hero image or a social graphic is usually raster, and Versely's instruction-based photo editor applies to either output the same way: a background swap, a color correction, without switching to a different tool for the parts of a project that aren't logos or icons.

    How it works

    1. 1. Pick raster or vector

      Text-to-Image tiers for a picture; Text-to-Vector for a file that needs real paths — a logo, an icon, a cut line.

    2. 2. Lock the style across the set

      reference_images carries a chosen look into every generation in a batch, so a tenth icon still matches the first.

    3. 3. Pick the tier the job needs

      Utility for a lightweight pass, Pro for higher fidelity — credits across Recraft's tiers in Versely's catalog run from 4 to 30.

    4. 4. Finish the raster half of the project

      Background swaps and color fixes for the parts of a brand system that aren't vector files route through the same instruction-based photo editor.

    Who this fits

    • Logo marks and icon sets that need real vector paths
    • Print collateral where a raster upscale isn't enough
    • Multi-glyph icon families that have to match each other
    • Sticker, decal and cut-line artwork
    • Design systems mixing vector marks with raster photography

    Frequently asked questions

    How does Versely compare to Recraft?+

    Versely's catalog includes 12 separate Recraft models — Standard, Utility and Pro Text-to-Image tiers alongside dedicated Text-to-Vector engines that output real SVG paths — on the same credit pool as 284 other models. reference_images keeps a style locked across a whole set generated in Recraft, and the instruction-based photo editor covers the raster half of a project the vector models weren't built for.

    Does Versely actually output real vector files, or just a vector-style look?+

    Where Recraft's Text-to-Vector models are selected — recraft-4-1-text-to-vector or the Pro variant, for example — the output is real SVG, not a raster image styled to look like one. Recraft's plain Text-to-Image tiers output raster, same as most of the catalog.

    Can a whole icon set stay visually consistent?+

    Yes — reference_images pins a style across a batch generated in one session, which is the mechanism a multi-glyph or multi-asset set needs to avoid drifting between the first item and the last.

    What if I need a raster image instead of a vector file?+

    Recraft's own Text-to-Image tiers cover that inside the same model family, and the instruction-based photo editor handles touch-ups on either raster generations or a vector export flattened to raster.
