When to use Recraft V4 Vector

Updated 2026-07-31

Where this model earns its cost — and where it doesn't.

This model takes text prompts and outputs native SVG files containing actual vector paths and structured layers. Unlike raster image generators, it produces scalable graphics that retain crisp edges at any resolution.

On Kyma, requests route through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint with automatic failover if a serving path degrades. The API returns exact request costs in the usage object, identifies the active model via the X-Kyma-Model header, and applies prompt caching to repeated prefixes at 10% of the standard input rate.

It accepts text input only and does not support vision, reasoning, or structured JSON outputs. Generation speed is medium, and it is optimized for graphic assets rather than photorealistic imagery or complex scene composition.

Brand Logo Generation

Create scalable logos with clean paths that designers can refine in vector editors.

UI Icon Sets

Generate consistent, resolution-independent icons for web and mobile interfaces.

Editable Vector Illustrations

Produce layered graphics ready for direct manipulation in Figma or Illustrator.

Technical Diagram Assets

Output precise, scalable shapes and lines for documentation and presentations.

Not ideal for: Do not use this model for photorealistic rendering, complex scene generation, or tasks requiring image-to-image editing, as it outputs structured vector paths rather than raster pixels.
