This family pairs Recraft's V3 generation model, code-named red_panda and built to set a high bar for realistic creative visuals, with Clarity Upscale — a sharpening and enlargement pass that lifts an existing image to web or print quality.

When to choose Recraft V3

Choose this family for Recraft V3 specifically, or when you need the Clarity upscaler. The V4 and 4.1 families carry the newer generation quality and the editable vector output.

Choosing between the variants

Recraft V3 generates from text. Clarity Upscale takes an image you already have and increases its quality, which makes it a finishing step rather than an alternative.
