Frequently asked questions
What's the best AI for creating icons?
Recraft is the best suited: it generates clean, editable, consistent-style vector icons for an entire series. Ideogram and Adobe Firefly are solid alternatives, especially for embedded text or commercial use.
Can I get vector icons (SVG) from AI?
Yes: Recraft exports directly to vector, saving you from hand redrawing. With Midjourney or Freepik AI, the image is bitmap and must be vectorized separately.
