Recraft: Recraft V4.1 Pro

Recraft V4.1 Pro is an image generation model from Recraft, listed on api14 under the model id recraft/recraft-v4.1-pro. It sits in the image category and is positioned by its provider as a model tuned for high aesthetics, which tells you where the emphasis lies: visual quality of the generated output rather than text generation or general reasoning. If you are building a product where the look of the image matters as much as its content, this is the kind of model worth evaluating first.

The model accepts text and image inputs and returns images. Its context window is 65,536 tokens, and the maximum output is 58,982. Output is produced at roughly 2K resolution. Generation is controlled through image parameters rather than the usual text sampling knobs: aspect_ratio accepts 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16 or auto; n controls how many images are returned per request, from 1 to 6; and input_references accepts 0 or 1 reference image. There are no other supported parameters listed, so the request surface is deliberately narrow.

Those capabilities point to a fairly specific set of uses. Text to image generation covers the common cases: marketing and social assets, concept art, illustrations, and product or lifestyle imagery where you want a polished result at a usable resolution. The aspect ratio options map directly onto delivery formats, so you can request square, landscape or vertical output without post processing crops. Because the model accepts an image input alongside text, you can pass a single reference image to steer style, composition or subject, which suits brand consistent asset production, iterating on an existing visual, or restyling a photo. The n parameter lets you generate up to six variations in one call, which is useful when you want to present options to a user or pick the best result before committing to a final render.

Calling it through api14 works like any other model on the gateway: use the OpenAI-compatible endpoint with the model id recraft/recraft-v4.1-pro. You send your prompt as text, optionally include one reference image, and set the image parameters described above (aspect_ratio, n, input_references). Since the supported parameter list is empty, there are no additional text generation parameters to tune, and the image controls are the only levers you have. Responses come back as images, so plan for image handling on your side rather than parsing text.

One practical limit to keep in mind is that this model only outputs images. If your task needs text, structured data, tool calls or multi turn conversation, a text model on api14 will fit better. Similarly, if you need more than one reference image, or finer control over generation beyond aspect ratio, count and a single reference, the parameter set here will not cover it. Within those bounds, Recraft V4.1 Pro is a reasonable choice when aesthetic quality at around 2K across common aspect ratios is the priority.
