# Recraft V4.1, Utility, Pro and Flash variants

Non-explicit game marketing, art direction and rapid design drafts.

- **Availability**: available
- **Where it runs**: hosted
- **Costs**: Free or paid Studio plans; metered API access uses prepaid API Units. Costs vary by variant and operation.
- **Adult content policy**: unverified

Recraft V4.1 is worth considering for non-explicit game marketing and art direction: the family offers an expressive base model, simpler Utility options, higher-resolution Pro variants and Flash for quick drafts. Its design workspace makes it a useful A-tier shortlist for a coherent campaign. Character sprites still need their own consistency and export checks. Select the exact model and operation before building a workflow: dedicated Vector variants, raster generation and third-party models in Recraft Studio have different capabilities. Free-plan and paid output rights differ, and API access has separate terms. Permission to generate explicit sexual content remains unconfirmed, so its recommended role here is non-explicit artwork.

## Commercial use & license

Free and paid Studio plans grant different output rights; API use has separate Developer Terms. Check commercial-use rights and privacy settings for your route.

## Adult content rules

Permission to generate explicit sexual content remains unconfirmed. Review Recraft’s content restrictions before submitting adult artwork.

[Read the policy](https://www.recraft.ai/docs/recraft-models/recraft-v4-1)

## What you need

A Recraft Studio account, or an API key with a positive API Units balance; rights to reference images and a checked export workflow.

Ranks are recommendations for the task described, based on reviewed documentation. Model ranks cover non-explicit development work. We have not run practical benchmarks. Check content policies and commercial terms separately. [How the ranks work](https://bestadultgames.io/en/developers/methodology.md)
