Recraft AI is a London-based generative-AI startup founded in 2022 by Anna Veronika Dorogush (former Yandex ML lead, CatBoost project lead) and a team of ex-Yandex engineers. The company raised a $12M Series A led by Khosla Ventures in 2024. Its proprietary Recraft V3 model topped the Artificial Analysis text-to-image leaderboard at launch in October 2024, beating Midjourney v6.1, FLUX 1.1 [pro] and DALL-E 3. Recraft V3 ships in multiple variants — the general design model (Recraft V3), a photo-tuned variant (Recraft V3 Realistic) and a vector-output variant (Recraft V3 SVG) — all sharing a common backbone.
Visit Recraft AI →Recraft V3 Realistic is a photorealism-tuned variant of the Recraft V3 backbone, released alongside the main V3 model in October 2024. It shares the same underlying Diffusion Transformer architecture and long-context (~1000 token) LLM-based text encoder as Recraft V3, but is fine-tuned on a curated photographic dataset and re-balanced toward photographic style cues. This means the model produces sharper textures, more believable lighting, accurate skin and material rendering, and avoids the slightly graphical look that the general Recraft V3 sometimes drifts toward. Recraft V3 Realistic supports long descriptive prompts (camera, lens, lighting, film stock), brand kits and high-resolution rendering up to ~2048x2048. The model is available only through the Recraft web app and API.
