Recraft V4.1 Flash is a fast, low-cost model released in September 2026, with quality close to Recraft V4.1. It is built for high-volume generation and rapid iteration: an image takes about 1.3 seconds end-to-end and costs $0.007 — the lowest price in the API. Unlike most fast models, Flash does not drift into a generic AI look, and it follows prompts more closely than others in its class. Strong use cases include photography, portraits, atmosphere, complex scenes, mixed media, and logo concepts.
V4.1 Flash is available in Generate image only, and does not support styles: neither style / style_id nor attached style references.

Models

Flash is raster-only, with no Vector (SVG) or Pro (2K) variants; recraftv4_1_flash_raster is accepted as an alias of recraftv4_1_flash. Everything else — supported image sizes, maximum prompt length, and controls — matches recraftv4_1.

How to call it

Pass the model to /v1/images/generations.
We recommend response_format: multipart with V4.1 Flash for the best latency, see Image results.
