Recraft V4.1. A polished look, in the tier the job needs.
Recraft's image model, tuned for high aesthetics and offered in tiers: V4.1 and V4.1 Pro for polish, the Utility pair for general-purpose work, Flash for quick drafts. Every tier is in the image node's picker.
- Text and image input
- One reference image
- 5 aspect ratios plus auto
Recraft V4.1 is the newest Recraft generation in the Treza picker, an image model tuned for high aesthetics. It takes a text prompt, with an optional reference image to steer it, and it ships as a family rather than a single model. V4.1 and V4.1 Pro are the aesthetics-tuned pair, V4.1 Utility and Utility Pro are the general-purpose pair, and in each pair the Pro version renders at about 2K instead of about 1K.
On Treza every tier is an option in the Image Generation node's model picker, with five aspect ratios from 9:16 to 16:9 plus auto. That makes the family easy to work in steps: explore directions on V4.1 Flash, the speed and cost tier, then re-run the keeper on V4.1 Pro for a larger final. Switching tiers is one dropdown, and the rest of the pipeline stays as it is.
Tuned for high aesthetics
V4.1 and V4.1 Pro are the tiers Recraft tunes for looks, for images where the finish is the brief.
A general-purpose pair
V4.1 Utility and Utility Pro are Recraft's general-purpose tiers, with the same inputs and aspect ratios as the rest of the family.
About 2K on the Pro tiers
V4.1 Pro and Utility Pro render at about 2K, double the standard tiers, for crops and larger placements.
Flash for drafts
V4.1 Flash is the family's speed and cost tier, text to image at about 1K, suited to trying many directions before choosing one.
What to make with Recraft V4.1
Prompts to try, and what to expect back. Each runs on an Image Generation node with a Recraft V4.1 tier chosen in its model picker.

Recraft V4.1 is one node on a canvas
Chain it with language, image, and video models, then publish the whole pipeline as an API. See how a full AI video pipeline fits together.
- Step 01
Draft the brief
A language model node expands a one-line idea into a detailed, on-brand prompt before it ever reaches the model.
- Step 02
Generate with Recraft V4.1
Run variants in parallel, compare against other models on the same prompt, and keep every result in run history.
- Step 03
Publish it as an API
The pipeline becomes a versioned endpoint. Your product calls it with the typed /invoke API or any OpenAI SDK.
Recraft V4.1 as an API, priced per image
The Recraft V4.1 API
Build a pipeline with Recraft V4.1 on a node and publish it. It becomes a versioned HTTP endpoint: the typed /invoke route enqueues a run and returns a run id to poll, and an OpenAI-compatible route works with SDKs you already use. Agents connect over MCP the same way. Your prompt engineering ships inside the pipeline, so every caller gets your quality, and swapping the model later does not change the API your product calls.
Recraft V4.1 pricing
Prepaid credits, no subscription. Each image is charged at Recraft V4.1's own rate from your balance, shown before you run, and only successful generations are charged, so a failed run costs nothing. Credit packs start at $5 and never expire, which suits spiky production schedules. Run history records the cost of every generation, per node, so spend is auditable rather than a surprise.
Recraft V4.1, answered
Which Recraft V4.1 tier should I pick?
Start on V4.1 for most work. Draft on V4.1 Flash when you want many directions quickly, and move to V4.1 Pro when the final needs about 2K. V4.1 Utility and Utility Pro are the general-purpose pair at the same two sizes, worth running on the same prompt to compare. Every tier sits in the same model picker, so changing is one dropdown.
Can Recraft V4.1 work from a reference image?
Yes. V4.1, V4.1 Pro, and both Utility tiers take one reference image alongside the prompt: drop it on the node or wire it into the Reference image port. V4.1 Flash is text to image, so use it for drafting straight from a written brief.
When should I use FLUX.2 Pro or Seedream 4.5 instead?
Use Recraft V4.1 when the look is the brief. When an asset needs 4K straight from the model or several references in one frame, Seedream 4.5 offers 4K output and up to 10 references on a node, and FLUX.2 Pro is the lineup's pick for photoreal hero finals. All three sit in the same picker, so one prompt can run through each on parallel nodes.
How much does Recraft V4.1 cost on Treza?
Treza uses prepaid credits with no subscription. Each image is charged at Recraft V4.1's rate from your balance, and only successful generations are charged. Credit packs start at $5 and never expire.
Can I call Recraft V4.1 through an API?
Yes. Build a pipeline that uses Recraft V4.1 and publish it as a versioned HTTP endpoint. Call the typed /invoke API from your product, or point any OpenAI SDK at the OpenAI-compatible endpoint. If a better model ships later, swap it on the node without changing the API your product calls.
