About this model

Recraft V4.1 Utility is the controlled-output raster model in the Recraft V4.1 family. It is designed for cases where predictability matters more than art direction, with flatter lighting, front-facing composition, and simpler scenes that make it a strong fit for product shots, icons, e-commerce imagery, and other clean commercial visuals.
