What's new in Recraft V4.1
01
Chapter 01 · The library
V3 opened the style library
65 named raster styles, 23 vector ones. Photoreal through pop art. Still ⚡9.
01
02
Chapter 02 · The engine
V4 rebuilt the raster engine
A newer generation, still design-grade. Same ⚡9 as V3.
02
03
Chapter 03 · The flagship
V4.1 is the flagship, and it is cheaper
Fine style control at ⚡8. That undercuts both older raster tiers.
03
04
Chapter 04 · The paths
Both vector engines return real SVG
V3 and V4 vector hand back paths, not a trace. Flat ⚡17, 14 ratios.
04
05
Chapter 05 · The canvas
Pro tiers took the large canvases
V4.1 Pro from ⚡43, V4 Pro from ⚡51. For work going to print.
05
● Why people pick it
What Recraft is for
01
Real SVG, not a trace
Paths you open in Illustrator. Not a bitmap with soft edges.
02
Styles, not prompt gymnastics
V3 ships 65 named raster styles. The vector engine has 23.
03
Design-grade raster
The V4 line is built for packaging and key art. Editorial still life too.
04
A Pro tier for scale
Pro renders large canvases when the deliverable is going to print.
● Two ways in
Recraft raster
Packaging, key art and editorial still life. Five raster tiers, from ⚡8. V3 carries 65 named styles. Name the look instead of describing it. Or start from a community prompt that already works.
Recraft vector
A real SVG file, not a traced raster. Both engines cover the same fourteen ratios at a flat ⚡17. Open the result in Illustrator and keep working.
Design-grade stills with fine style control, from ⚡8. That undercuts both older raster tiers. This is where a job starts.
Verbatim prompt
Editorial still life of a chunky hand-thrown ceramic vase holding three red anthuriums, low sun raking across a plaster wall.
Highest fidelity
When it goes to print at size
Large canvases only, from ⚡43. These render at 2048px, against 1024 on the standard tiers. Refraction and fibre are what that buys.
Verbatim prompt
Studio product photograph of a dichroic glass paperweight on white marble, hard light splitting into oil-slick spectra across every bevel.
Previous generation
Still design-grade
The generation before the flagship, at ⚡9. Reach for it when V4.1 gives a look you did not want. Same class, different taste.
Verbatim prompt
Product photograph of a translucent frosted-blue smart ring resting on a curved acrylic riser, cool rim light and a soft gradient falloff.
Pro tier of V4
Large canvases, previous engine
Also 2048px and large canvases only, from ⚡51. Machined edges and open stone are what a Pro render is for.
Verbatim prompt
Studio product photograph of a CNC-machined aluminium heatsink standing on black glass, hard raking light picking out every fin edge and circular tool mark.
65 named styles
Name the look instead of describing it
The only raster tier carrying a style field, at ⚡9. Both tiles ran a similar prompt. Only the named style changed.
Verbatim prompt
Four iridescent dichroic glass coasters overlapping on a hot coral ground, hard light throwing spectra across the edges.
23 vector styles
Real SVG, with a style library
A true SVG file at ⚡17, across the same fourteen ratios. The vector engine that also takes a named style.
Verbatim prompt
Generate a goldfish bowl on a sunny shelf
Newer engine
The default for vector work
Same ⚡17, same fourteen ratios, newer engine. Take this one unless you want a V3 style by name.
Four habits that separate a usable asset from an expensive re-roll.
01🎨
Pick the style, do not describe it
V3 carries 65 named raster styles and 23 vector ones. Naming one beats a paragraph of adjectives.
Name the style
02📐
Choose vector when it has to scale
Logos, icons and anything for print want the SVG engines at ⚡17. A raster upscale is not a path.
SVG for anything that scales
03✏️
Draft cheap, finish expensive
Find the composition on V4.1 at ⚡8. Then spend a Pro render on the frame you keep.
Draft on V4.1 first
04🖼️
Set the ratio before the prompt
Fourteen ratios render native. Cropping a 1:1 afterwards throws away pixels you paid for.
Frame it up front
● The gaps
What can Recraft do that OpenClips cannot?
The vendor ships these. The composer does not.
Recraft Studio offers an "Exploration Mode" that generates multiple visual directions from a single prompt. The composer renders one direction per dispatch.
Recraft is a design-focused image model, and on OpenClips it runs in seven variants. The raster tiers render packaging, key art and editorial still life. The vector tiers hand back a real SVG file. Pricing is flat per render, from ⚡8, and the composer quotes the exact cost before anything runs.
Yes. The vector line returns actual paths, not a traced raster. Open the file in Illustrator, recolour it, scale it to a billboard. It stays sharp because there are no pixels to lose.
V3 ships 65 named styles, from photoreal to pop art. The vector engine has 23. The style chip does most of the heavy lifting. Name the object, pick the style, generate.
The Pro tiers. V4.1 Pro from ⚡43 and V4 Pro from ⚡51 render at print size when the deliverable needs it. For the everyday raster job, V4.1 at ⚡8 is enough.
Flat ⚡17 on both V3 and V4 vector engines, at any of the 14 supported ratios. The composer shows the exact ⚡ before you commit.
Yes. The output is a real SVG file. Illustrator, Figma, Inkscape and every other vector editor opens it and edits every path. Same for recolouring: the fills are named, not baked into pixels.
A free account starts with ⚡50, which covers a first run of renders on the cheaper tiers. After that you pay per render in credits, with no subscription needed to reach the model. The smallest pack is $10/800⚡. Nothing is charged before you accept the quote.
Most image models give you pixels and a shrug. Recraft's vector line gives you an SVG: real paths, editable, recolourable, scalable to a billboard without a single soft edge. For logos, icons and any illustration that has a second life in a layout, that is the difference between an asset and a screenshot.
The raster side is not a consolation prize
V4.1 and the Pro tiers are built for packaging mockups, key art and editorial still life. That is work judged at 100% zoom. V3 adds the style picker on top: 65 named looks, from photoreal to pop art.
Seven variants, one composer
Every Recraft tier dispatches from the same composer and the same wallet. Draft on V4.1 from ⚡8, switch to a vector engine when the file has to scale, and spend a Pro render only when the deliverable goes to print. Browse the rest of the roster on the models hub, or start from the AI Image Generator and switch models without moving your prompt.
