Recraft V3 Digital Illustration

Recraft's previous-generation realism model with strong long-form text rendering and photorealistic outputs. Surpassed by Recraft V4 on overall design taste and prompt accuracy, but still useful when you want the older Recraft V3 aesthetic specifically. Same checkpoint underneath as the V3 Digital Illustration variant.

Recraft's design-focused flagship, built around design taste rather than photorealism. Best-in-class typography rendering for an image model alongside strong prompt accuracy and art-directed composition. The natural choice for posters, packaging, brand assets, and any creative where text and graphic design matter as much as the image.

Ideogram V3 tuned for digital illustration — typography-aware editorial spot art and blog imagery with consistent stylized treatment. Same V3 checkpoint as the realism variant; the illustration mode just shifts default style. Cheaper than Recraft for editorial content where text legibility matters.
