Async Workflow
This model uses asynchronous execution. Submit a request and poll for the result.
- Submit — POST to /v1/run, receive an
id - Poll — GET /v1/run/{id} until status is
completed,failed, ortimeout - Retrieve — Read
outputsfrom the completed response

Recraft V4
Recraft V4 occupies the generated-image role in the model catalog for application builders. Its practical value is to turn a one-off creative request into a repeatable catalog operation: an upstream service can confirm that it has prompt, submit one well-scoped job, and receive a generated image asset for downstream approval. This positioning explains when the exact recraft/recraft/v4 route belongs in an architecture without borrowing promises from another version, tier, or task variant.
A production-minded integration begins by checking the source ownership, expected result, and release checklist. The caller records required values separately from optional choices such as colors, aspect_ratio, background_color, runs a small representative sample, and stores the route name with the resulting artifact. Reviewers then compare that artifact with the agreed acceptance criteria, document any rejected setup, and promote only a successful request shape into larger batches. This workflow gives recraft/recraft/v4 measurable business context while leaving the Highlights section to explain model behavior.
Highlights
- Prompt-responsive composition. Recraft V4 turns detailed natural-language art direction into a complete visual with a defined subject, setting, and treatment.
- Style range. The route can interpret photographic, illustrative, graphic, or conceptual direction when those choices are stated clearly in the prompt.
- Layout control. Supported framing and composition controls help Recraft V4 prepare imagery for landscape, square, portrait, or design-specific placements.
- Iteration-ready output. Seed and other declared creative controls make it practical to compare focused variations while retaining the core brief.

When to Use
| Scenario | Why it fits |
|---|---|
| Choose Recraft V4 | Use it when the job specifically calls for v4 and the route’s documented input contract matches assets already available in your workflow. |
| Keep the request reproducible | Use the required prompt explicitly, then record optional choices alongside the prompt for repeatable reruns. |
| Build controlled creative variations | Change one declared control at a time when comparing framing, format, duration, resolution, style, or other route-supported output decisions. |
| Integrate asynchronous delivery | Use this endpoint when an application can submit work, track completion, and collect the returned media URL instead of requiring an immediate inline artifact. |
| Validate before a large batch | Run representative prompts and source assets first, confirm the visual or audio behavior, then lock the successful request shape for scaled production. |
Prompt Guide
Lead with the subject or transformation, then add the composition, environment, style, lighting, motion, voice, or fidelity details relevant to this route. Keep every parameter inside the documented schema; the example below uses only fields declared for recraft/recraft/v4.
