Recraft V4.1 is an image generation model from Recraft tuned for high aesthetics. It supports text and image inputs with image output at ~1K resolution across multiple aspect ratios, with typical generation around 10 seconds. Compared to V4, photorealism feels more natural with quieter backgrounds and more purposeful lighting, 3D rendering and soft gradients are smoother, and the model follows shorter prompts more reliably.
Suited for exploration, concept work, and everyday creative work where speed and cost matter. Supports the following image_config parameters: strength (controls how much the output deviates from the source image), rgb_colors (sets a color palette), and background_rgb_color (sets the background color). See the image generation docs for details: https://openrouter.ai/docs/features/multimodal/image-generation(opens in new tab)
Note: only one input image is supported.
