Recraft v4 Standard is the fast tier of Recraft's image generation model, built specifically for design professionals. It inherits Recraft's core strengths: clean composition, refined lighting, and realistic material rendering, at a lower cost and faster generation time than the Pro variant.
The model supports colour palette control, allowing you to specify exact colours for brand-consistent output. Text rendering is accurate for labels, signage, and branded graphics. Output is delivered as WebP for raster images, with vector SVG available via Recraft Vector.
Use Recraft v4 Standard for rapid iteration on brand concepts, social graphics, illustrations, and pattern designs. When you find the direction you want, switch to Recraft v4 Pro for the final production-quality render.
