Vector graphics & logos
Models that write SVG directly, logo makers, image-to-vector tracers and design apps with AI vector features, ranked by blind votes on the SVG they produce.
Models are ranked by Design Arena SVG. Tools inherit the tier of the best model they offer. How we rank.

Models
The engines themselves. Use them through an API or inside the apps on the right.
Apps
Ready-made apps with a UI: sign in or install, then start.
Nothing tracked yet
Workflow platforms
Node and canvas tools that chain several models into one pipeline.
Runtimes & APIs
Run open models on your own machine, or reach models and services through an API.

Quality vs. price
Design Arena SVG score against API price (USD per 1M tokens, blended 3:1 input:output, log scale). Up and to the left is better; the line joins the models that nothing else beats on both.

Quality vs. setup
The same tools as the map, placed by how good the results can be (up) and how much setup they take (right). Top-left is the easiest way to top quality; further right buys control, privacy or price at the cost of setup. Models are left out: you reach them through these tools.

Benchmarks used
- Design Arena SVG by Design Arena (blind human votes, Elo rating from crowdsourced blind pairwise votes on SVG markup that models generate from a prompt (icons, illustrations, diagrams, artistic compositions)) · snapshot 19 Oct 2026129 model entries, 200,904 votes (API metadata lastUpdateTime 2026-10-19T12:06Z). Mostly LLMs writing SVG code plus SVG-native models (QuiverAI Arrow 2 / 2 Telos / 1.x, Recraft V4/V4.1 vector); inactive models stay ranked.
