Parameter Reference

Required Supported Not available

Core Parameters

Parameter Type Description Modes
prompt string Required. Text prompt for image generation
T2I

Size & Layout

Parameter Type Description Modes
size string Image dimensions as WxH pixels (e.g. "1024x1024") or aspect ratio (e.g. "16:9")
WxH determines both shape and scale (aspect_ratio and resolution are ignored when size is provided). W:H format is equivalent to aspect_ratio.
T2I
aspect_ratio string Aspect ratio of the output image (e.g. "16:9", "1:1")
Controls shape independently of scale. Use with resolution to control both. If size is also provided, size takes precedence. Any ratio is accepted and mapped to the nearest supported value.
T2I
resolution string Output resolution tier (e.g. "1K", "4K")
1K 2K
Controls scale independently of shape. Higher tiers produce larger images and cost more. If size is also provided, size takes precedence for scale. Any tier is accepted and mapped to the nearest supported value.
T2I
Output size aspect_ratio + resolution
Flexible

How these parameters work

size

Exact pixel dimensions

"1920x1080"
aspect_ratio

Shape only, default scale

"16:9"
resolution

Scale tier, preserves shape

"1K"

Priority when combined

size aspect_ratio + resolution aspect_ratio resolution

size is most specific and always wins. aspect_ratio and resolution control shape and scale independently.

How matching works

Shape matching – we pick the closest supported ratio. Ask for 7:1 on a model with 4:1 and 8:1, you get 8:1.
Scale matching – providers use different tier formats: K tiers (0.5K 1K 2K 4K) or megapixel tiers (0.25 1). If the exact tier isn't available, you get the nearest one.
Dimension clamping – if a model has pixel limits, we clamp dimensions to fit and keep the aspect ratio intact.

Output & Format

Parameter Type Description Modes
response_format string How to return the image
url b64_json
Default: "url"
T2I
output_format string Output image format
png jpeg gif webp avif
Gateway converts to requested format if provider doesn't support it natively.
T2I
output_compression integer Compression level for lossy formats (JPEG, WebP, AVIF)
T2I
n integer Number of images to generate
Default: 1
Gateway generates multiple images in parallel even if provider only supports 1.
T2I

Additional Parameters

Parameter Type Description Modes
background_color fal object The preferable background color of the generated images.
T2I
colors fal array An array of preferable colors
T2I
enable_safety_checker fal boolean If set to true, the safety checker will be enabled.
T2I

Parameter Normalization

How we handle parameters across different providers

Not every provider speaks the same language. When you send a parameter, we handle it in one of four ways depending on what the model supports:

Behavior What happens Example
passthrough Sent as-is to the provider style, quality
renamed Same value, mapped to the field name the provider expects prompt
converted Transformed to the provider's native format size
emulated Works even if the provider has no concept of it n, response_format

Parameters we don't recognize pass straight through to the upstream API, so provider-specific options still work.

Overview

Recraft V4 Pro is a high-resolution text-to-image model developed by Recraft AI, specifically designed for professional-grade graphic design and print-ready digital art. Unlike many foundation models that focus primarily on photorealism, Recraft V4 Pro prioritizes spatial composition, complex text rendering, and material accuracy at resolutions up to 2048px. It is characterized by its ability to follow long, intricate prompts while maintaining anatomical and structural consistency.

Strengths

  • Exact Text Rendering: The model demonstrates high accuracy when generating specific strings of text within images, making it suitable for logo design, posters, and UI mockups.
  • Material and Texture Fidelity: It excels at simulating physical properties such as the specularity of metal, the translucency of glass, and the tactile nature of various fabrics.
  • Compositional Control: V4 Pro handles complex scene layouts better than earlier iterations, accurately placing multiple objects in relation to one another as defined in the prompt.
  • Vector-Like Precision: Although it outputs raster images, the model generates sharp edges and clean color separations that mimic the aesthetic of professional vector software and high-end digital illustration.

Limitations

  • Prompt Sensitivity: To achieve the highest level of detail in large-scale prints, the model often requires more descriptive prompting regarding lighting and material types compared to “one-click” consumer models.
  • Inference Speed: Due to its high output resolution (~2048px) and focus on structural integrity, it may have higher latency than smaller, distilled models optimized for rapid iteration.
  • Stylized Bias: While capable of photorealism, the model’s default “cleanliness” can sometimes lean toward a polished commercial aesthetic that may require specific negative prompting for more “gritty” or lo-fi artistic styles.

Technical Background

Recraft V4 Pro is an evolution of Recraft’s proprietary architecture, optimized for high-resolution 2K outputs without the artifacts often seen in tiled upscaling or standard latent diffusion. The training methodology emphasizes alignment with design-centric datasets, focusing on spatial relationships and typographical accuracy. It utilizes a refined lighting system that calculates shadows and reflections based on object geometry rather than simple texture overlays.

Best For

This model is best suited for professional designers creating print-ready assets, brand identities, and commercial illustrations where precise text and high-resolution details are non-negotiable. It is an excellent choice for generating marketing collateral, detailed product concepts, and complex icon sets. Recraft V4 Pro is available for testing and integration through Lumenfall’s unified API and interactive playground, allowing developers to compare its output alongside other industry-leading image models.
