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.
What is Recraft V4?
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 capabilities
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.
What you can create with Recraft V4
Generate multiple design directions from a single prompt with Exploration Mode, compare options side by side, and refine your favorite into the final result.
How Recraft V4 works inside Picsart
Picsart is integrating Recraft V4 directly into its Flow, AI Playground and 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 Picsart tools enabling a complete design pipeline from concept exploration to production-ready assets.
Why creators choose Recraft V4
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.
Recraft V4 FAQ
Recraft V4 is a ground-up rebuild of Recraft’s AI image model, designed with real design aesthetics at its core. It comes in four variants: V4 and V4 Pro for raster output (up to 2048×2048), and V4 Vector and V4 Pro Vector for production-quality editable SVG files with structured layers and clean geometry.
Exploration Mode generates multiple visual directions from a single prompt instead of one result. You can compare options side by side, select your preferred direction, and generate further variations of that specific image. It’s designed for early creative stages and launches exclusively on Picsart first.
Recraft V4 is built around design taste, not just prompt accuracy. It makes intentional decisions about composition, lighting, and color that make output feel art-directed. It’s also the only model that generates real editable SVG vector files and renders readable text for signage and packaging.
Recraft V4 supports PNG, JPG, SVG (editable vectors with structured layers), PDF, TIFF, and Lottie exports. Raster output ranges from 1024×1024 (standard) to 2048×2048 (Pro).
Picsart is integrating Recraft V4 into its AI Image Generator and creative tools, with Exploration Mode available exclusively on Picsart as the first launch partner. Creators can generate, explore, and export design-quality images directly within the platform.
No. Recraft V4’s built-in design taste means even simple prompts produce professional-quality output with balanced composition and cohesive color. Exploration Mode further simplifies the process by letting you compare directions visually rather than rewriting prompts.
Yes. Images generated through Picsart’s tools powered by Recraft V4 can be used for marketing, branding, social media, packaging, and other commercial applications, subject to Picsart’s terms of use.
