Recraft V2

V3 introduced major advances in photorealism and text rendering. It was the first Recraft model to generate mid-size text accurately and, as of 2025, is the only model capable of placing text at specific positions in an image.

The model delivers strong photorealism, including realistic skin rendering and natural textures, while avoiding common synthetic artifacts. It produces more distinctive lighting, composition, diverse subjects, contemporary styling, and carefully considered scene elements. For illustration, it generates original characters and forms with sophisticated and unexpected color combinations.

V4.1 is built on the same visual aesthetic and the same eye for what looks right, just pushed further across every dimension. The photorealism is more natural. The gradients are dreamier. Illustration styles are now possible that simply weren't before. And this is a model that reads a short prompts easier and creates something worth stopping for.
