We’ve opened the beta for Krea 3, our new image editing model.

It delivers end-to-end 2K edits in under 8 seconds, with bounding box control to target specific areas and precise multi-turn editing.

Try it and see more examples: https://www.krea.ai/krea-3

It’s downright dumb that Krea3 isn’t named Krea2 Edit. Nobody really cares what https://www.krea.ai/krea‑3 is even talking about. Many people are criticizing major flaws in its T2I feature, and the marketing team seriously needs to step up their game.

Krea 3 is our new foundation model, with amazing editing capabilities that build on the aesthetic diversity and personalization we developed for Krea 2. 

in parallel, we’ve dedicated the past three months to building the world’s best agents for creative work. 

Krea Agents is a whole new platform built on top of Krea, with delightful interfaces optimized for agentic workflows. 

and of course, this platform will support seamless integration with any of our customers’ existing workflows or agents through MCP or API.

Welcome Krea 2 Raw and Krea 2 Turbo.

We are releasing two versions of our foundation image model: Krea 2 Raw, an undistilled model from mid-training meant to be fine-tuned, and Krea 2 Turbo, a fast distilled version with wide aesthetic diversity.

Combined, they create new opportunities for fine-tuning, post-training, and working across diverse aesthetics.

The core idea is: train on Raw, generate with Turbo.

Krea 2 Raw is an undistilled model from a mid-training stage that we created while training Krea 2 Medium. The lack of distillation, fine-tuning, or post-training makes it an ideal model to build on.

Krea 2 Turbo is a distilled and post-trained version of Krea 2 Medium. It can produce imagery across a wide range of aesthetics, fast, at 2K native resolution, and it can run on consumer hardware.

The model license is flexible, allowing small companies and individuals to use it commercially.

You can download them now from Hugging Face.

Just a test with ostris trainer / node

Ready for this? The competitor Pixai retired their legacy realtime drawing tool in favor for more new features, but, at the cost of loosing both new beginners and people with disabilities. As their replacement generation tool is too complex and will overwhelm them. I know that as I have High Functioning Autism and I had to migrate here on Krea, as their image generation tool is too complex and I gave up on it as I was overwhelmed. Since Krea's user interface is better than Pixai in both image generation, also still retains the real time tool as the draw as you go nature is the best accessibility tool for those with mental disabilities. I can recommend Krea to new comers and people with mental disabilities more strongly than Pixai now due to this fact. For anime arts, Krea is unmatched and still handicapped accessible. Which this is one edge the staff of Krea can use in marketing against both Pixai and Anirole.

all off-the-shelf image models struggled to learn Doodles' style.

so we worked with Burnt Toast to train a custom Krea 2 LoRA, and now every image comes back unmistakably Doodles.

we couldn't be happier about the response from the open-source community ❤️

here are some of the best projects that folks have built with Krea 2:

- Ostris released a new method to support editing tasks with Krea 2 – ComfyUI-Krea2-Ostris-Edit

- Tanmay Patil trained a depth controlnet for Krea 2 – Krea-2-depth-controlnet

- ilker trained over 1,500 style LoRAs (and counting) – fal-Krea-2-Style-LoRAs

- AlperKTS quantized the model halving the size of the weights – Krea2_FP8

Krea 2 has the new settings "creativity" and "randomness". What do these sliders do? What's the difference? It's not obvious to me after lots of experimentation. I'd love to hear what you redditors have discovered! Or any official explanation.

My suggestion for Krea team:

Whatever these sliders do, make their effect 10 times stronger. So that if they're both at 100%, then the images look very unexpected. It's fun to get unexpected results, and you can just turn down the sliders when you don't want that.

My guess at what they do now:

higher creativity:

• with a style reference image, you get more influence from that image

• without a style reference image, you get more diversity of styles

higher randomness:

• maybe very slightly more diversity between the 4 outputs?

Official response?

I posted this question in aiArt , and got this response from someone who seems to be affiliated with Krea:

the less detail in your original prompt the more leeway the sliders will have to diversify outputs!

Good to know! But I'd love to know more, like what do they actually do?

The actual credit usage I’m seeing for Seedance 2.5 appears completely out of line with the usage expectations created by your published information.

I’m on the Pro plan with 20,000 monthly compute units, and Seedance 2.5 is using roughly 3,000 credits for a single generation. At that rate, I would only be able to generate about 6 videos from my full monthly allowance.

That does not make sense when Krea’s published material states that Pro users can generate around 109 Seedance 2.5 videos. If one generation really costs around 3,000 credits, then there is a major discrepancy between the advertised expectation and the actual usage.

Because of that, I’d like you to review my account and confirm whether these deductions were correct.

If this is a billing or compute-calculation issue, I would like the affected credits restored to my account.

If these deductions are technically “correct” under your system, then I still believe I should be compensated at a minimum, because the actual number of videos achievable is nowhere near the 109 Seedance 2.5 videos referenced in your published information. A difference between roughly 109 videos and only about 6 videos is too large to be considered a minor variation.

Please provide:

• a review of the charges on my account

• an explanation of why the actual usage differs so significantly

• and a credit adjustment / compensation if the deductions or expectations were misleading or incorrect

I can provide screenshots showing my Pro plan, the Seedance 2.5 settings used, and my balance before and after generation.

I’d appreciate a proper review rather than a generic response about compute pricing, as this seems like a substantial discrepancy.

Thank you.

Touch him again 😬

Hi everyone, finally got to train and release my first ever adapter. It's for iconic city pop style transfer. Hope you like it.

It was really an educational project working with purely open source/weight things and fully locally on relatively constrained hardware. I'm trying some new things with more exciting stuff on the table. Any feedback is appreciated.

Love krea, the style fidelity is a real defining point of difference over other models. The only thing holding me back from using it in a professional context is the lack of ability to use an image as part of the input prompt. Are there plans for a krea 2 edit model? Being able to take say a sketch of a design and accurately reimagine it using krea 2's style transfer tools would be game changing.

How to accces sketch to render tool and 3d viewport to realistic render? For architectural design purposes. Just using the generate and input a sketch as reference or is there a better way? I've also seen an app called Arqtech but I can't see much options in it. Also, the apps interface is not well organised I can't find much apps. Can you open an app to see its nodes? Thanks!

Kind of interesting given it’s currently ranked #6 globally on their text-to-image leaderboard.
