Recraft lets you bring your own images into the canvas. Imported images can be used across the platform’s tools, from mockups and vectorization to prompt-based editing and fine-tuning.Once imported, your image can be used to:
Generate a variation of the original visual
Use as a reference for prompt-based generation
Remove the background
Vectorize raster images (e.g., PNG to SVG)
Remix or edit specific areas with prompts
Apply your image to a product mockup
Extend the image using outpainting (frame tool)
Create a custom style for consistent generation
Upscale to increase resolution and detail
Notes on imported and edited images
Only original generated images are saved to project history. Images that have been edited e.g., background removed or fine-tuned) will not appear in the project timeline.
Imported images, whether added to the canvas or uploaded to create a custom style, are not used for training AI models.
To reuse edited images, first export them, then re-import as needed.
When importing an image, Recraft may default to an external model to enable prompt-based editing.
