About this model
Recraft V4 is the latest generation of Recraft's proprietary, design-focused image model family, released in February 2026. Built by the London-based startup Recraft, it targets professional graphic design rather than general creative use, emphasizing compositional accuracy, typography, and brand consistency. The Recraft team describes its central idea as "design taste" — making deliberate choices about composition, lighting, and color so outputs look art-directed rather than stock-like.
A defining feature is native vector generation: the SVG variants produce actual editable vector files with clean paths and structured layers. V4 also handles text as a structural part of the composition, fitting it into layouts for posters, packaging, and editorial work. This positions the model for brand and marketing assets where legible typography and reusable vector output matter.
Recraft positions V4 as the successor to its earlier generations, including Recraft V3, the family that introduced direct vector generation; the V4 work is framed around design-led decisions rather than general-purpose creativity.
Recraft V4 is offered in raster and vector forms, with Recraft V4 Pro sitting above it for higher-resolution, print-ready output. Venice notes V4 shares the same engine as the Pro tier at lower cost, fitting faster, iterative workflows where maximum resolution is less critical.
