Recraft: Recraft V4.1 Utility

recraft/recraft-v4.1-utility

ChatCompare

Recraft V4.1 Utility is a general-purpose image generation model from Recraft. It supports text and image inputs with image output at ~1K resolution across multiple aspect ratios, with typical generation around 10 seconds. The Utility line is designed for restraint as the aesthetic choice - flat lighting, front-facing composition, and simple, controlled scenes - making it a practical fit for product imagery, mockups, and structured visuals where the high-aesthetic V4.1 line would be too expressive.

V4.1 improvements over V4 include more natural object understanding, sharper mockups, cleaner default icons, and stronger prompt adherence with shorter prompts. Supports the following image_config parameters: strength (controls how much the output deviates from the source image), rgb_colors (sets a color palette), and background_rgb_color (sets the background color). See the image generation docs for details: https://openrouter.ai/docs/features/multimodal/image-generation(opens in new tab)

Note: only one input image is supported.

Sample code and API for Recraft V4.1 Utility

OpenRouter normalizes requests and responses across providers for you.

OpenRouter supports image generation models that can output both text and images. These models can create images from text prompts when you specify modalities: ["image", "text"] in your request. The generated images are returned as base64-encoded data URLs in the assistant message. Learn more about image generation.

In the examples below, the OpenRouter-specific headers are optional. Setting them allows your app to appear on the OpenRouter leaderboards.

Using third-party SDKs

For information about using third-party SDKs and frameworks with OpenRouter, please see our frameworks documentation.
