Frequently asked questions
Common questions
What is Recraft V4?
Recraft V4 is a graphic design and illustration AI model available on recraft.ai and fal.ai. It excels at posters, graphic design, typography, illustrations, and vector art. Unlike photography models, Recraft uses layer-based composition with format declarations, named colors, and aesthetic thesis statements.
How is Recraft different from Nano Banana or Seedream?
Recraft creates graphic design and illustrations, not photographs. It uses layer-based prompts (background → subject → typography → color palette → surface treatment → aesthetic thesis) written as one continuous paragraph. No camera gear, no lighting physics — just design vocabulary. Prompts are shorter (80-170 words) and more structured around visual layers.
What style categories does this support?
14+ validated categories from a 5-round optimization loop: Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Pop Art, Typography, Abstract/Kandinsky, Japanese/Ink, Retro Travel, Geometric Landscape, Botanical Minimalist, Nordic Folk Art, Skull + Botanicals, Sacred Geometry, Retro Sci-Fi, and Coffee Typography. Each has calibrated settings for word count, dimensional control, and color naming.
Is this Recraft prompt generator free?
Yes. You get 5 free Recraft prompts with no account. After that, create a free account for 3 prompts per day. For unlimited generation, buy credits starting at $3.99.
Can I use these prompts on recraft.ai and fal.ai?
Yes. Copy the generated prompt and paste it directly into recraft.ai or use the fal.ai Recraft V4 API. Set aspect ratio in the platform UI — the prompt intentionally excludes it.
What should I avoid in Recraft prompts?
Avoid hex color codes (rendered as visible text), camera gear language (Recraft is not a photography model), beauty words ("beautiful", "stunning"), bold section headers, and MUST NOT blocks. The generator handles all of this automatically.
What about text in Recraft designs?
Recraft excels at typography. For text-in-design concepts, the generator wraps text content in quotation marks, describes typeface as a system (weight + width + classification), and ensures text is designed INTO the composition — not placed on top.
