What is Recraft V4.1 Flash?

Recraft V4.1 Flash is the fastest image model in the Recraft V4.1 family - a dedicated speed tier that turns a prompt into a finished raster image in about 1.3 seconds. It's built for real-time iteration and high-volume generation at low cost.

How fast is Recraft V4.1 Flash?

Flash generates a prompt-to-image result in roughly 1.3 seconds, with benchmark latencies around 1.4 seconds at the median (p50) and 1.8 seconds at the 95th percentile (p95) - fast enough to feel real-time.

How much does Recraft V4.1 Flash cost?

It's $0.007 per image - a fraction of the cost of the standard Recraft V4.1 - which makes it well suited to generating many options quickly.

What output does Recraft V4.1 Flash produce?

Flash generates raster images at 1K resolution. It doesn't output vector/SVG or 2K files directly; for higher resolution you can send a Flash result through Refine to reach Recraft V4.1 Pro quality at 2048x2048.

Does Recraft V4.1 Flash support style references or image-to-image?

No. Flash is generate-only: it doesn't support image-to-image, create-style, or attached style references, and it doesn't take a style or style_id. Its controls are limited to color and background color. That focused design is part of what makes it so fast.

How can I use Recraft V4.1 Flash?

You can use it whichever way you work: on the web, in the Picsart desktop app, or integrated into your own projects via CLI, MCP, REST API, and SDK - no separate third-party subscriptions required. It's available in Picsart's AI Playground, and also from the Recraft Studio model picker and the Recraft API.

How is Recraft V4.1 Flash different from Recraft V4.1?

Recraft V4.1 is the standard, higher-fidelity tier, while Flash is the speed tier - much faster and cheaper, generate-only, and raster-1K. Use Flash to explore and draft quickly, then step up to Recraft V4.1 or V4.1 Pro (via Refine) when you need maximum detail.
