Questions, answered ## Recraft 4.1 FAQ Need a specific answer? [Contact support](mailto:support@made.app) ### What is Recraft 4.1? It is Recraft’s design-first image model — the line that topped early text-to-image design benchmarks — tuned for branded assets, layouts, and typography that belongs to the composition. ### How much does it cost? 4 credits per image, flat across all sizes. The exact price appears before you generate. ### What makes it different from photoreal models? Recraft optimizes for designed images — deliberate composition, palette, and type — where most models optimize for photographic realism. ### Can it edit or use reference images? Not in Made’s current configuration — it is exposed as text-to-image only. Use Muse Image or GPT Image 2 when a workflow needs edits. ### Is it good at text? Integrated typography is its specialty: headlines, labels, and lockups rendered as part of the design. Verify long or dense copy before shipping. ### When should I choose another model? Choose Qwen Image 3 for cheap text-heavy graphics, GPT Image 2 for complex layouts with editing, or a Seedream model for photoreal work. --- Markdown version of https://www.made.app/models/recraft-4-1.
