Recraft V4: design taste meets AI image generation

 First on Picsart - Exploration Mode exclusive. Picsart is among the first platforms to integrate Recraft V4, the first image model built around design taste, not just prompt accuracy. It produces images with balanced composition, cohesive color palettes, and refined detail that feel intentionally art-directed. Picsart is the exclusive first partner for Exploration Mode, which generates multiple visual directions from a single prompt so creators can compare and refine without rewriting. Available in raster up to 4 megapixels and as production-ready editable SVG vectors.

Recraft V4 is a ground-up rebuild of Recraft's image generation, designed by the team behind CatBoost, one of the world's most popular ML frameworks. It comes in four variants:

Recraft V4’s headline feature is Exploration Mode: generate multiple visual directions from a single prompt, compare them side by side, select a favorite, and generate further variations of that specific image. The model renders readable text for infographics, menus, signage, and packaging with high-fidelity typography. It’s the only AI model that generates real editable SVG files with clean geometry and structured layers ready for web or print. Output formats include PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF, TIFF, and Lottie. Pro versions deliver sharper detail, improved anatomy, and enhanced realism for complex compositions.

Picsart is integrating Recraft V4 directly into its AI Image Generator, with Exploration Mode launching exclusively on Picsart as the first partner. Creators can generate design-quality images, explore multiple directions from a single prompt, and export in raster or vector formats all within one workflow. It works alongside tools like the AI Image Editor and AI Enhance, enabling a complete design pipeline from concept exploration to production-ready assets.

Where other models optimize for prompt accuracy or artistic flair, Recraft V4 optimizes for design taste producing images with the kind of visual polish that normally requires a human art director. It’s the only model generating production-quality editable SVGs with structured layers, the only one with Exploration Mode for comparing visual directions, and one of the few that renders legible text in images. With Picsart as the exclusive first partner for Exploration Mode, creators get early access to a workflow that eliminates the prompt-rewrite cycle and puts design intent first.
