Recraft V4 is Recraft's third-generation image model, built with input from working designers. It delivers improved photorealism with realistic skin, natural textures, clean lighting, varied composition, and original character generation.

const result = await generateImage({ model: 'recraft/recraft-v4', prompt: 'A red balloon on a wooden table.'});Recraft V4 is the third generation of Recraft's image model family. Recraft developed it with direct input from working designers, focusing on photorealism, composition variety, and character originality.
V4 emphasizes more realistic skin, natural textures, fewer synthetic artifacts, cleaner lighting, and more varied composition. Material textures (fabric, metal, wood, glass) show fewer repeating patterns.
Composition is another focus area. V4 produces more varied framing, camera angles, and spatial arrangements than earlier Recraft generations, which often defaulted to centered layouts. For illustration work, it generates original characters with less predictable color palettes.
Recraft V4 is optimized for speed and cost-efficiency within the V4 generation. Use it for everyday creative work and iterative design processes. For maximum resolution or print-ready fidelity, Recraft V4 Pro extends the output ceiling.
