About Recraft V4.1 Flash

Within Recraft's V4.1 text-to-image family, Flash is the quick, low-cost tier, announced on Recraft's blog on 23 September 2026. It is available in Recraft Studio and through the Recraft API under the model identifier recraftv4_1_flash_raster.

Raster images only

Flash produces raster images, not vectors. In Recraft's tests the median image takes 1.3 seconds through the API, which is the reason for the Flash name. Neither a parameter count nor a native output resolution has been released for this model, and the speed figures come from Recraft itself.

Positioned for iteration

Recraft presents Flash as the model for iteration and prototyping, and the standard V4.1 and V4.1 Pro as the models for finished work. Flash costs far less per image than either, so many variations can be generated cheaply.

Refine with V4.1 Pro

A Refine step picks one Flash image and renders it again with V4.1 Pro at a size of 2048 by 2048 pixels, keeping the composition. The cheaper model does the exploring and the larger one does only the finishing, which is how Recraft expects teams to control costs on high-volume generation.

An independent measure

Artificial Analysis runs a text-to-image arena in which voters compare two images without being told which model made which. When read on 1 October 2026 it ranked Recraft V4.1 Flash 76th with an Elo score of 957 from 5,554 appearances, and it lists the same 23 September release date.
