Recraft V4.1 Utility is the general-purpose image line within the V4.1 family. The standard version outputs 1-megapixel images, while Utility Pro outputs 4-megapixel images. The V4.1 line focused on artistic and design quality also offers both resolution tiers.

Recraft describes V4.1 as the next step beyond V4, with sharper results, better object understanding, more consistent output, and more natural prompt following. Icons and illustrations should also come out cleaner. Access is through API and web, with proprietary weights.
