Overview - Recraft

The Recraft API provides access to several generations of Recraft image models. Each family comes in multiple variants, and the variant is encoded in the model parameter value:

names ending in _vector produce vector (SVG) images; all other models produce raster images;
_pro variants generate at a higher resolution (2K raster) with finer detail;
_utility variants (Recraft V4.1 only) produce clean, predictable images with flat lighting and simple composition;
_styles models are dedicated style-driven models that always require a style.

When no model is specified, Generate image defaults to recraftv4_1. The one exception: a request with attached style references and no model defaults to recraftv4_styles.

The model lineup

Model	Price per raster / vector image	Best suited for
Recraft V4 Styles	from $0.035 /$ 0.05	State-of-the-art style-consistent generation: define a style from your references once, and every image holds to it
Recraft V4.1	from $0.035 /$ 0.08	The default and most capable model: photorealism, illustration, and strong results from short prompts
Recraft V4	from $0.04 /$ 0.08	Design taste, prompt accuracy, and output quality at any size: true design vision in composition, lighting, and textures
Recraft V3 (previous generation)	$0.04 /$ 0.08	Photorealism and text rendering, plus inpainting, outpainting, and background operations
Recraft V2 (previous generation)	$0.022 /$ 0.044	The most cost-efficient option: icons, minimalistic vector styles, and consistent brand styling
