Recraft ships V4 Styles: style lock from one reference image, no training

Recraft says V4 Styles can use an existing image as a style reference without a separate training step. The reference does not have to come from Recraft, so a creator can start from an image made elsewhere. Its launch article says no training is required and describes Precise and Flexible modes: Precise holds details such as rendering technique, color, composition and lighting, while Flexible gives the model more liberty when mood matters more than the exact blueprint.

The announcement therefore describes a lighter setup for reference-guided generation: supply an example of the desired appearance and begin creating new images.
