When to use Recraft V3

Updated 2026-07-31

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

Recraft V3 is a text-to-image model from Recraft that specializes in vector graphics, illustrations, and brand-ready assets. It operates on a per-image pricing model and is classified as a strong-quality, cheap-tier generator with medium inference speed.

On Kyma, the model accepts text prompts and returns images through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. It supports prompt caching, and every request benefits from automatic failover if a serving path degrades. Responses include exact cost in usage.cost and report the active model via the X-Kyma-Model header.

This model does not support vision, reasoning, or structured outputs, and it lacks a configurable context or output token window. As a legacy release, it is maintained for backward compatibility rather than active development.

Vector graphic generation

Create scalable SVG-style assets directly from text prompts.

Brand asset creation

Produce consistent illustrations and logos for marketing materials.

Legacy pipeline support

Maintain existing image generation workflows without migrating endpoints.

Rapid visual prototyping

Generate quick visual mockups on a cheap tier.

Not ideal for: Do not use this model for photorealistic generation, complex multi-step reasoning, or any workflow requiring vision input or structured JSON outputs.
