Features
Generate in real time
The Realtime canvas redraws the image while a prompt is typed or a sketch is drawn, instead of waiting for a finished render.
Upscale and enhance images and video
Krea Enhancer creates highly detailed hi-res versions of images and videos, adding texture rather than only enlarging.
Edit images with Krea 3
Krea 3 is Krea's own editing model, built to change an image while keeping a product intact.
Train custom styles and characters
Krea Train learns from uploaded photos to create personalized characters, objects and styles.
Steer style with Krea 2 moodboards
Krea 2, the in-house image model, uses style control and moodboards for a consistent look.
What users say
Pros
- Simple interface and fast generation produce usable images within minutes.
- The Enhancer rescues blurry, low-res images and adds realistic texture instead of just enlarging them.
- Banners, covers and pattern-style logo art come out well when the prompt is detailed.
Cons
- Credit costs are hard to predict, and one edit or video can drain a day's or month's allowance.
- Advertised promotions have failed at checkout, and customer service replies are slow to arrive.
- Free daily credits and free tier models change without notice, abruptly cutting off access.
- Small, precise edits are hard, and human figures come out inconsistent.
- Typeset text, especially Chinese, comes out full of wrong characters, so poster or label layouts fail.
- Basic physical reasoning breaks: mirror reflections, chopstick-through-glass perspective and object orientation come out wrong.
- Data graphics are unreliable, with reversed bar-chart scales and mislabeled pie-chart values.
- In editing, identity swaps follow clothing rather than faces, and hands still break.
