Recraft V4.1 Utility Pro is a fast AI raster image generation model that combines premium V4.1 Pro output quality with a faster utility runtime for high-volume image creation. Ready-to-use REST inference API for marketing visuals, product mockups, brand assets, social media content, creative design, and scalable text-to-image workflows with simple integration, no coldstarts, and affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to "completed", then read the output URL from the result. The playground generates a ready-to-paste code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for whatever inputs you've set. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/recraft-ai/recraft-ai-recraft-v4.1-pro-text-to-image-utility.
Recraft v4.1 Pro Text To Image Utility starts at $0.25 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.
Key inputs: `prompt`, `image_size`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/recraft-ai/recraft-ai-recraft-v4.1-pro-text-to-image-utility.
