# Recraft V4 Vector

> Recraft V4 Vector generates native SVG files with structured paths and layers, making it the only model that outputs truly editable vector graphics. Reach for it when you need logos, icons, or illustrations that can be directly opened and modified in standard design tools.

## Overview

This model takes text prompts and outputs native SVG files containing actual vector paths and structured layers. Unlike raster image generators, it produces scalable graphics that retain crisp edges at any resolution.

On Kyma, requests route through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint with automatic failover if a serving path degrades. The API returns exact request costs in the usage object, identifies the active model via the X-Kyma-Model header, and applies prompt caching to repeated prefixes at this model's cached input rate.

It accepts text input only and does not support vision, reasoning, or structured JSON outputs. Generation speed is medium, and it is optimized for graphic assets rather than photorealistic imagery or complex scene composition.

## Use this when

* **Brand Logo Generation** — Create scalable logos with clean paths that designers can refine in vector editors.
* **UI Icon Sets** — Generate consistent, resolution-independent icons for web and mobile interfaces.
* **Editable Vector Illustrations** — Produce layered graphics ready for direct manipulation in Figma or Illustrator.
* **Technical Diagram Assets** — Output precise, scalable shapes and lines for documentation and presentations.

## Not ideal for

Do not use this model for photorealistic rendering, complex scene generation, or tasks requiring image-to-image editing, as it outputs structured vector paths rather than raster pixels.

## Pick something else when

* You need photorealistic images or complex scenes: use [`flux-2-pro`](/models/flux-2-pro) or [`imagen-4-ultra`](/models/imagen-4-ultra).
* You need fast raster generation for prototyping: use [`imagen-4-fast`](/models/imagen-4-fast) or [`flux-1.1-ultra`](/models/flux-1.1-ultra).
* You need high-fidelity raster illustrations: use [`recraft-v4`](/models/recraft-v4) or [`ideogram-v3`](/models/ideogram-v3).

## Example

```python theme={null}
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(base_url="https://kymaapi.com/v1", api_key="ky-...")

response = client.embeddings.create(
    model="recraft-v4-vector",
    input=["first document", "second document"],
)
```

## Agent query example

Ask the API which models fit, instead of hardcoding an id:

```bash theme={null}
curl "https://kymaapi.com/v1/models?recommended_for=generate-images&tools=true&quality_tier=frontier-open"
```

## FAQ

**Does this model output raster or vector files?**

It outputs native SVG files with actual paths and layers, not PNG or JPEG raster images.

**Can I edit the generated files in design software?**

Yes, the SVG output is structured for direct import and editing in Figma, Illustrator, and other vector tools.

**Does Kyma support prompt caching for this model?**

Yes, repeated prompt prefixes are billed at this model's cached input rate, reducing costs for iterative design workflows.
