Recraft
Design-focused image generator that outputs editable vector graphics, icons and brand-consistent styles.
+ Generates true SVG vectors and lets you lock a custom style so every asset matches your brand.
− Free-tier images are public and photorealistic output is weaker than its vector work.
Looka
AI logo maker that generates logo options from your preferences and sells a full brand kit around them.
+ Produces a complete brand kit (business cards, social templates, colors) around the chosen logo.
− Logos are template-based and recognizably generic, and you only pay after designing.
