- Choose image size (optional) — select the preset that best fits your intended layout.
- Submit — run the model and download the generated vector image.
Example Prompt
A clean modern vector illustration of a mountain sunrise logo, geometric shapes, minimal color palette, premium outdoor brand style
Output
Returns one SVG vector image URL in the standard WaveSpeed prediction response.

- Each generated vector image costs $0.30
- Pricing is fixed per image
image_sizedoes not affect pricing
Best Use Cases
- Logo concepts — Generate editable vector directions for brand identity work.
- Brand graphics — Create scalable assets for marketing and design systems.
- Illustration — Produce vector-style artwork for commercial or editorial use.
- UI and icon assets — Generate clean scalable graphics for product and interface workflows.
- Marketing materials — Create vector visuals for ads, presentations, and publishing.
Pro Tips
- Be specific in your prompt about style, shape language, and composition.
- Mention terms like minimal, geometric, flat, icon-style, or brand illustration when relevant.
- Use concise but descriptive prompts for more controllable vector outputs.
- Start with the default size preset unless you need a specific layout.
Notes
promptis required.image_sizedefaults tosquare_hd.- The model returns a single SVG vector image per request.
- Pricing is fixed at $0.30 per image.
