You can convert raster images into editable vector graphics directly within Recraft. Once vectorized, the image becomes scalable without quality loss and fully editable in terms of color. How to vectorize an image:
  1. Place a raster image (e.g., PNG or JPG) onto the canvas.
  2. Select the image, then click the Vectorize icon in the top toolbar.
  3. Use the Color Reduction slider to limit the number of colors in the output—this helps simplify complex images or prepare for print.
  4. Edit colors using two available modes:
    • Swatches mode (default): Click on individual color swatches to replace specific colors.
    • Spectrum mode: Adjust entire ranges of related colors at once—for example, shift all blue tones to green. Ideal for images with many subtle variations.
  5. When you’re satisfied, export the vector as an SVG file for use in web, print, or design workflows.
It is important to note that not all images are vectorizable by nature. This means that not every image can be potentially presented as a vector image. If you try to vectorize a photorealistic image, or a 3d render, or a highly textured illustration, the vectorized version of this image will have a lot of artifacts. This is the nature of SVG format - it only supports certain types of shapes, lines and textures, as opposed to arbitrary ones like regular raster images.
