What Recraft V4.1 is on the roster

THE MODEL

Recraft V4.1 is the design-led image route on the roster, in two grades. Recraft V4.1 Pro is the expressive one, for campaign frames, posters and hero images with type set straight from the prompt. Recraft V4.1 Utility Pro is the predictable one: flat, even light, a front-facing product and a plain ground, built for mockups and product listings.

Both render from text. Put the headline in quotation marks, name the palette and the layout, and the image comes back at a 2K-class size (2048 by 2048 for a square) in any of five ratios.

Type set from the prompt

Quote the words and name the typeface character, size and placement: the lettering is rendered into the image, not laid over it afterwards.

Two grades for two jobs

Pro for expressive brand and campaign imagery; Utility Pro for clean, consistent product shots, mockups and catalogue tiles.

A 2K-class frame in five ratios

Square, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3 and 3:4, each at about four megapixels, sized for the final deliverable rather than a draft.

02

What Recraft V4.1 actually does

CAPABILITIES

A design-led image model in two grades, built for the frames a brand team ships.

Type set from the prompt

Quote the words and name the typeface character, size and placement. The lettering is rendered into the image, so a headline, a price card or a label arrives composed with the rest of the frame.

Typography

Pro: expressive

Recraft V4.1 Pro is the grade for campaign frames, posters and hero images, where the composition and the palette carry the idea.

Brand imagery

Utility Pro: predictable

Recraft V4.1 Utility Pro renders flat, even light, a front-facing product and a plain ground, the consistency a mockup set or a product listing needs.

Mockups and listings

A 2K-class frame

Every image comes back at about four megapixels (2048 by 2048 for a square) in 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4 or 1:1, quoted before it runs.

How to write for Recraft V4.1

PROMPTING

Recraft V4.1 renders from the prompt alone, so the prompt carries the whole brief.

Recraft V4.1 Pro
Summer campaign poster for a citrus soda, the can centered on a sun-bleached tiled wall,
the headline 'SQUEEZE THE DAY' in a bold condensed sans across the top, large,
a mustard and teal palette, hard afternoon light, generous space under the headline.

Lead with the purpose

Open on the subject and what the image is for (a poster, a packshot, a listing tile), then the layout.

Quote every word on the image

Put on-image text in quotation marks and name its typeface character, size and placement.

Weld colours to objects

Name a colour on the thing that wears it ("a mustard backdrop", "a teal label") rather than as a loose list.

State what you want, not what you do not

There is no negative field: write "a clean white background" rather than "no clutter".

05

FAQ

Recraft V4.1, answered

Can Recraft V4.1 edit an image or take a reference?
No. Both grades render from text only, so a reference image is refused before anything is charged. For edits and reference-led stills, route to GPT Image, Nano Banana, FLUX.2 or Seedream.
What resolution does Recraft V4.1 render?
One 2K-class size, about four megapixels: 2048 by 2048 for a square, and the matching size for 16:9, 9:16, 4:3 or 3:4. It has no 4K. For a 4K deliverable, run the 2K image through a 4K upscale in Finishing.
When should I pick Utility Pro over Pro?
When the image has to match the last one: flat, even light, a front-facing product and a plain background, the house style for mockups and product listings. Pick Pro when the frame should be expressive.
