Recraft V4

Recraft V4 — Text-to-Image Generation

What is Recraft V4?

Recraft V4 is Recraft's design-first text-to-image model, rebuilt from the ground up around "design taste": art-directed composition, cohesive color, and controlled detail that look intentional rather than stock. On Segmind it runs as the standard 1K raster variant, turning a text prompt into a finished, design-usable image. Its signature strength is integrated text rendering — typography is treated as a structural part of the composition, so titles, taglines, signage, menus, and packaging copy come out legible and correctly placed instead of pasted on top. It also follows prompts closely, resolving materials, reflections, and background relationships, and spans everything from photoreal shots to flat stylized illustration.

Key Features

• •Integrated text rendering — accurate, legible in-image typography that interacts with the layout, ideal for posters, packaging, and social graphics.
• •Design-taste composition — balanced, deliberate framing and color from even simple prompts.
• •Style references — attach 1–10 style reference images and set style_match (flexible or precise) to lock a consistent look across a set.
• •Palette control — steer results with preferred colors and a background_color.
• •Flexible output sizes — 15 presets including auto, 1:1, 3:2, 4:3, 16:9, and 9:16, up to 1K resolution.

Best Use Cases

Recraft V4 is built for production-ready design assets: ad concepts, banners, and social visuals that include readable copy; packaging and product mockups; posters and editorial layouts where typography carries the composition; and brand-consistent illustration sets via style references. In testing, a board-game box cover rendered its title, tagline, and a numeric legend cleanly, a style reference reproduced a two-color risograph look on new products, a macro watch-movement shot resolved fine materials and reflections, and a flat vector-style illustration held distinct artistic character.

Prompt Tips and Output Quality

Put the exact words you want rendered in quotes, and keep title text short-to-mid length for the cleanest typography. Name concrete subjects, materials, and one light direction rather than stacking mood adjectives. Use style references plus style_match: precise when brand consistency matters, and pick a size that matches your target format.
