## [Copy link to heading](#about-recraft-v4-pro)About Recraft V4 Pro

Recraft V4 Pro is the premium model in Recraft's V4 generation. It shares V4's core advances in photorealism, composition, and character generation, then extends them with higher-resolution output for print and large-format applications.

The resolution increase matters for specific production contexts. Print workflows (brochures, packaging, posters, editorial spreads) require pixel density that survives physical reproduction. Large-format digital display (trade show graphics, billboard assets, high-DPI screens) demands resolution headroom that standard models don't provide. V4 Pro targets these use cases directly.

All of V4's improvements carry over: realistic skin, natural material textures, clean lighting, varied composition, and original character generation. The Pro tier applies these at a higher resolution, making it the pick when output must survive scrutiny at full zoom or physical reproduction.

The recommended workflow pairs V4 and V4 Pro. Use V4 for rapid iteration, exploring compositions, and testing prompts at lower cost. When you find the output that meets your requirements, regenerate it with V4 Pro at maximum resolution.

## [Copy link to heading](#what-to-consider-when-choosing-a-provider)What To Consider When Choosing a Provider

- Configuration: Higher resolution carries a higher per-image cost than standard V4. Per-image pricing is $0.25; confirm figures. Use Recraft V4 for iterative drafting, and switch to V4 Pro for final production renders.
- Zero Data Retention: Zero Data Retention is offered on a per-provider and model basis. See the [documentation](https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway/security-and-compliance/zdr) for details.
- Authentication: AI Gateway authenticates requests using an [API key](https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway/authentication-and-byok#api-key-authentication) or [OIDC token](https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway/authentication-and-byok#oidc-token-authentication). You do not need to manage provider credentials directly.

## [Copy link to heading](#when-to-use-recraft-v4-pro)When to Use Recraft V4 Pro

### Best for

- Print production: Packaging, editorial spreads, brochures, and posters where pixel density must survive physical reproduction
- Large-format digital display: Trade show graphics, billboard assets, and high-DPI screens
- Final production renders: Output where maximum resolution is non-negotiable
- Commercial asset creation: Final imagery for brand campaigns and advertising where the asset represents the brand

### Consider alternatives when

- Iterative drafting: Recraft V4 is optimized for speed over maximum resolution
- Web-only display: V4's standard output is sufficient for screen-only delivery
- Budget-first decisions: When budget drives the choice, compare standard V4 and V4 Pro rates first
- Native vector output: Recraft V3 supports vector generation directly

## [Copy link to heading](#conclusion)Conclusion

Recraft V4 Pro is Recraft's highest-resolution image generation model. It combines V4's photorealism with higher-resolution output for print and large-format production. Use it when the final asset must survive physical reproduction or full-zoom review. Pair it with V4 for iterative drafting to balance cost and fidelity.
