What Is Recraft V4.1?
Recraft V4.1 is aimed at design deliverables rather than generic art generation. Raster output produces a normal image, while the dedicated vector operation produces SVG paths that can be recoloured and edited after download.

Recraft V4.1 Test Results
Testing in progress
Every model runs the same eight-category prompt set — portrait, product, poster text, anime character, interior, multi-reference, image editing and character consistency — recording generation time, success rate, text accuracy and identity retention. That run has not finished for Recraft V4.1, so this page shows no scores. We do not publish numbers we have not measured.
Recraft V4.1 Limitations
