Recraft V4.1 Flash

Recraft V2 is an image generation model released in March 2024 and the first model trained from scratch by Recraft. With 20 billion parameters, it was a breakthrough in human anatomical accuracy and the first to support brand consistency and brand color inputs. It also introduced vector image generation (SVG output), as well as minimalistic icon and illustration styles.

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.

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. V4.1 Utility is designed for when restraint is the aesthetic choice, with flat lighting, front-facing composition, and simple, controlled scenes.
