# Recraft Provider Guide

**Raster + native SVG image generation via Recraft V3**

## Overview

[Recraft](https://www.recraft.ai/) generates both raster (PNG/JPEG/WebP)
and vector (SVG) images. The vector output is especially useful for
icon sets, marketing assets, and brand-consistent illustrations.

### Key Facts

- **Endpoint**: `POST https://external.api.recraft.ai/v1/images/generations`
- **Default model**: `recraftv3` (raster); use `recraftv3-svg` for SVG
- **Output formats**: PNG, JPEG, WebP, SVG
