Recraft V3 Edit

The V3 Edit route starts from an existing image and follows revision instructions, preserving useful source context while changing the requested visual content. Phrase the prompt as a concrete delta—what to replace, remove, restyle, or retain—because the uploaded composition is evidence for the revision rather than merely inspiration for a new image. Recraft V3 Edit is Recraft's intelligent image editing model. Transform, retouch, and reimagine existing images using text prompts - from background replacement to artistic style conversion. For Recraft V3 Edit, this endpoint-specific workflow determines how a production team should compose prompts, select controls, and judge the finished asset; no behavior from a neighboring route is assumed.

A V3 Edit request should identify the source image first and describe only the intended change, including elements that must remain untouched. Compare the revision beside its input to judge instruction compliance, structural preservation, and unwanted spillover. Its revision contract exposes image, style, colors, prompt, strength, style_id, with image, prompt mandatory. image controls the URL of the image to modify. Must be less than 5 MB in size, have resolution less than 16 MP and max dimension less than 4096 pixels; style controls the style of the generated images. Vector images cost 2X as much; style accepts any, realistic_image, digital_illustration, vector_illustration, realistic_image/b_and_w, realistic_image/hard_flash, realistic_image/hdr, realistic_image/natural_light, realistic_image/studio_portrait, realistic_image/enterprise, realistic_image/motion_blur, realistic_image/evening_light, realistic_image/faded_nostalgia, realistic_image/forest_life, realistic_image/mystic_naturalism, realistic_image/natural_tones, realistic_image/organic_calm, realistic_image/real_life_glow, realistic_image/retro_realism, realistic_image/retro_snapshot, realistic_image/urban_drama, realistic_image/village_realism, realistic_image/warm_folk, digital_illustration/pixel_art, digital_illustration/hand_drawn, digital_illustration/grain, digital_illustration/infantile_sketch, digital_illustration/2d_art_poster, digital_illustration/handmade_3d, digital_illustration/hand_drawn_outline, digital_illustration/engraving_color, digital_illustration/2d_art_poster_2, digital_illustration/antiquarian, digital_illustration/bold_fantasy, digital_illustration/child_book, digital_illustration/child_books, digital_illustration/cover, digital_illustration/crosshatch, digital_illustration/digital_engraving, digital_illustration/expressionism, digital_illustration/freehand_details, digital_illustration/grain_20, digital_illustration/graphic_intensity, digital_illustration/hard_comics, digital_illustration/long_shadow, digital_illustration/modern_folk, digital_illustration/multicolor, digital_illustration/neon_calm, digital_illustration/noir, digital_illustration/nostalgic_pastel, digital_illustration/outline_details, digital_illustration/pastel_gradient, digital_illustration/pastel_sketch, digital_illustration/pop_art, digital_illustration/pop_renaissance, digital_illustration/street_art, digital_illustration/tablet_sketch, digital_illustration/urban_glow, digital_illustration/urban_sketching, digital_illustration/vanilla_dreams, digital_illustration/young_adult_book, digital_illustration/young_adult_book_2, vector_illustration/bold_stroke, vector_illustration/chemistry, vector_illustration/colored_stencil, vector_illustration/contour_pop_art, vector_illustration/cosmics, vector_illustration/cutout, vector_illustration/depressive, vector_illustration/editorial, vector_illustration/emotional_flat, vector_illustration/infographical, vector_illustration/marker_outline, vector_illustration/mosaic, vector_illustration/naivector, vector_illustration/roundish_flat, vector_illustration/segmented_colors, vector_illustration/sharp_contrast, vector_illustration/thin, vector_illustration/vector_photo, vector_illustration/vivid_shapes, vector_illustration/engraving, vector_illustration/line_art, vector_illustration/line_circuit, vector_illustration/linocut; colors controls an array of preferable colors; prompt controls a text description of areas to change; strength controls defines the difference with the original image, should lie in [0, 1], where 0 means almost identical, and 1 means miserable similarity; style id controls the ID of the custom style reference (optional). The application queues that source-aware instruction, waits for processing, and retrieves the revised image URL for side-by-side approval.
