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)
  • Fine-tune 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.
