Recraft V3 Image: lock this still before you buy motion (4K, 4cr)

Recraft V3 Image is the stills row. Animate after approval. Do not generate the pack inside the video model.

Recraft V3 Image is design-first image generation with clean vector-ready output, controlled brand styles, and dependable typography. The catalog's own line: the pick for logos, icons, and layout-quality graphics. Content type is image. Category is text-to-image. requires_image is false. Max output: 4K. Quality chips: SD, HD, 4K. Aspects: 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16. Display price: 4 credits. Audio is null. No durations. This is a plate, usually a designed one.

Logos, icons, layout — then stop

Vector-ready and typography are why Recraft V3 exists on the stills side of the catalog. A video model will not give you a lockable mark. It will give you a moving almost-logo. Generate the mark here at 4K, 4 credits. Approve the type. Then, if the brief needs motion, upload that file to an image-to-video row.

The door is text-to-image. The term is text-to-image. Ranked stills: best AI image generator. Family: the Recraft roster. Recraft 4.1 text-to-image is a later generation on that roster — different slug, different page. This page is V3: 4K, 4 credits, design-first.

Styles listed: Realistic, Artistic, Anime. For a logo brief, "artistic" is not a license to skip the lock. The lock is the point.

Four credits, 4K, no clip

4 credits is the still. There is no 5s chip because Recraft V3 Image does not move. Teams that "just animate the prompt" are asking a video model to typeset a lockup while it also invents camera. That is how you get shimmering lettering and a pack that never matches the brand kit.

Match 4K when the graphic has to hold a poster or a 4K master. SD is a sketch. Do not approve in SD and animate a different 4K sample.

Aspects should be the delivery aspect. A 1:1 icon you already signed is cheaper to put in motion than a 16:9 scene that contains a fuzzy icon the video model drew.

Brand style is the still, not the camera

Controlled brand styles live on this row. You set the look in the graphic. Image-to-video should inherit it. If you skip Recraft V3 and prompt "our brand, in motion," you are generating the pack inside the video model. The pack will drift. 4 credits is the cheaper place to find that out.

The motion door is AI image-to-video. Use it after the 4K still is signed. Not instead.

A lockup that prints is cheaper than a moving almost-logo

The test: can you print the frame? If the type would fail as a static asset, it will fail at 24fps. Recraft V3 Image is the print test at 4 credits. Animate after it passes.

If the still is a photoreal scene and Recraft V3 is the wrong taste, that is a different stills row. It is still a stills row. The rule does not change.
