Strengths
Recraft V4 is the prior generation — useful when you have prompts and style references already tuned against it.
Produces illustrations, icons, and marketing graphics rather than photographic imagery.
Holds a described style across a batch so generated sets stay visually coherent.
Cheap enough for volume work while remaining a full design-grade model.
