Recraft V4

Recraft V4 was released in February 2026 as a ground-up rebuild of the Recraft model line, focused on what matters for real work: design taste, prompt accuracy, and output quality at any size. It produces images with balanced composition, cohesive color relationships, and controlled detail that feel intentional rather than stock-like, and delivers the world’s only production-grade vector generation.

For style-driven work, see the dedicated Recraft V4 Styles family that always generates against a style.

Models

Model	`model` value	Output	Price per image
Recraft V4	`recraftv4`	Raster, 1K	$0.04
Recraft V4 Vector	`recraftv4_vector`	Vector, SVG	$0.08
Recraft V4 Pro	`recraftv4_pro`	Raster, 2K	$0.25
Recraft V4 Pro Vector	`recraftv4_pro_vector`	Vector, SVG	$0.30

Standard (1K) versions are built for everyday work and fast iteration. Pro (2K) versions generate at a higher resolution with finer detail, improving anatomy and realism across complex scenes — the right choice for print-ready and other high-fidelity visuals. Vector versions return editable SVG images.

How to call it

Pass the model to /v1/images/generations:

response = client.images.generate(
    prompt='two race cars on a track',
    model='recraftv4',
)
print(response.data[0].url)

curl -X POST https://external.api.recraft.ai/v1/images/generations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $RECRAFT_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "two race cars on a track",
    "model": "recraftv4"
  }'
