About this model

Recraft V4.1 is the standard raster model in the Recraft V4.1 family for professional image generation and editing. It improves the V4 line with cleaner photorealism, sharper object understanding, smoother gradients and 3D rendering, cleaner icons and vectors by default, and better results from shorter prompts, while staying faster and more cost-efficient than the Pro variant.
