How Recraft V4 works

Work the way you brief a designer: describe the asset, pin the colors in hex, pick vector or raster, and choose the tier that matches the stage you are at.

Frame the Design Brief

Write the asset type, layout, line style and any headline text in double quotes, like a brief to a designer.

Lock Palette and Format

Enter hex colors, set a solid background hex, then choose raster image or SVG vector output.

Export Production Assets

Draft with Flash, finish with Pro for native 2K, and drop vector paths straight into Figma or Illustrator.

What Recraft V4 is good at

Built for design deliverables rather than painterly scenes: clean paths, exact palettes, readable lettering and studio-grade raster surfaces from one model.

Native Scalable SVG Generation

Vector mode emits editable Bezier paths directly, not traced bitmaps, so marks and icon sets open cleanly in Figma or Illustrator. Add 'flat fills, no gradients' to keep paths lean; Pro vector handles dense crests and detailed linework.

Strict Brand Hex Matching

Supply up to four or five hex codes and a single background hex, and fills land on those exact values. Give each color a role in the prompt, such as 'navy mark with cyan accent', to keep placement predictable.

Integrated Typography Engine

Put exact wordmarks and headlines in double quotes and they render as legible, balanced lettering inside the layout. Keep copy short: sentences beyond roughly 6 to 8 words can warp letterforms.

Pro 2K Fidelity and Legacy Modes

Pro delivers native 2K raster for print-ready heroes and dense vectors, at higher cost and longer render time. Flash is the quick raster draft tier, and original V4 stays selectable for older asset libraries.

What people build with Recraft V4

Brand designers, product teams, poster makers, shop owners and content creators reach for it when the output has to be usable, on-palette and ready to ship.

Brand identity designers

01

Build logo marks and wordmarks as true vector paths, locked to the client's hex palette. Iterate on options fast, then open the SVG in your editor to refine.

Product and UI teams

02

Generate consistent icon sets, spot illustrations and isometric hero graphics with uniform stroke weight. Flat-fill vectors drop straight into component libraries.

Poster and editorial designers

03

Compose exhibition posters, covers and event graphics with rendered headlines and a clean layout hierarchy, without hand-setting every letter.

E-commerce product marketers

04

Produce studio-lit packaging and product mockups with embossed or printed text. Use Pro for native 2K hero shots and Flash for quick variants across a catalog.

Social and content creators

05

Turn out stickers, mascots and branded vertical graphics at volume. Vector output keeps them crisp at any size and Flash keeps ideation cheap.

Recraft V4 questions

V4.1 is the newer default, with sharper composition, better lighting and more realistic materials. V4 stays available for teams that need visual parity with existing asset libraries or pipelines built on the original model. V4 lacks the refined surface and lighting fidelity of V4.1, and its vector output has slightly less optimized path density and curve smoothing.

Use Flash for fast, economical raster drafts, Normal for standard-resolution finished graphics, and Pro for native 2K or dense vector geometry. Flash is raster only and has moderate micro-detail. Normal raster output is capped at about 1 megapixel. Pro costs more and takes longer, so save it for final heroes, print-ready work and complex vectors.

Yes. Set Output Type to Vector and it generates native SVG with editable Bezier paths, not a traced bitmap, ready for Figma or Illustrator. Vector works in Normal and Pro; Flash is raster only. Vector costs more than raster, and complex photographic scenes or portraits are a poor fit for it.

Put the exact wording in double quotation marks inside the prompt, for example "NOVA LABS". Keep copy short, because sentences beyond roughly 6 to 8 words can show letterform warping. For clean vectors, add constraints like 'flat fills, no gradients, no shadows'.

Yes. Enter comma-separated hex codes in Preferred Colors and a single hex in Background Color. In vector mode the hex values map to SVG fills with exact RGB matching. Stay at four or five colors or fewer, and describe each color's role in the prompt.

It is weak at grungy, unpolished photorealism, dynamic multi-character action, chaotic painterly concept art and complex fluid simulations. It favors clean design hierarchy, so choose another model when you want raw photographic imperfection or analog film grain.
