How Krea works

Pick the tier that fits the job, tag your references, and render. Quick Turbo passes lock composition and mood before a heavier model takes the final.

Choose a model

Pick Krea 3 for editing and prompt understanding, Krea 2 Large for top text-to-image quality, Turbo for drafts, or FLUX.1 Krea [dev] for LoRA looks.

Set the creative direction

Add up to 8 tagged reference images, attach a style reference, or set creativity and reasoning to steer the look.

Render and refine

Generate a natural, filmic image, then reroll the seed, lower image strength or swap tiers to refine the keeper.

What Krea is good at

Natural, de-glossed photography is the throughline, backed by reference-driven editing, style transfer and an open-weights option for those who want it.

Natural skin, no plastic sheen

Skin, fabric and surfaces keep believable texture, with softer contrast and less gloss than stock FLUX. Color stays muted-to-filmic, so portraits read as photographed rather than synthesized.

Four models, one selector

Krea 3 edits or combines up to 8 references, Krea 2 Large carries final text-to-image quality, Turbo explores cheaply and fast, and FLUX.1 Krea [dev] brings the open-weights look with CFG and step control.

Style references that carry the look

Turbo Style takes a style reference plus up to 10 additional images, with style strength from 0 to 4. Palette, grain and mood transfer to your prompt's subject; start near 1 and raise only if the look is not landing.

Image-to-image restyling

FLUX.1 Krea image-to-image re-renders a sketch, 3D blockout or photo in a natural look. The 0.95 default mostly repaints the source, so drop strength to roughly 0.5 to 0.75 to keep layout and color.

Made with Krea

Portraits, metallic product stills, documentary studies, record sleeves and footwear shots, each held together by grain, texture and restrained color.

What people build with Krea

Photographers, product teams, art directors, poster designers and visualizers reach for it when a frame has to look photographed instead of generated.

Fashion lookbook photographers

01

Build campaign frames with believable skin, fabric weave and filmic grain. Krea 3 keeps identity and garment details consistent across references, so a look holds from frame to frame.

E-commerce product teams

02

Swap products into lifestyle scenes by tagging references, such as the jacket from one image onto the person in another. Use fewer, cleaner references when fine product detail matters.

Advertising art directors

03

Explore concepts in seconds with Turbo, then move the approved direction to Krea 3 or Large for final polish. Art-directed composition keeps key visuals from reading as default AI.

Album art and poster designers

04

Drop a moodboard image into Turbo Style and let its palette, grain and mood carry into a fresh composition built for a sleeve or poster. Add lettering afterward in a layout tool.

Interior and architectural visualizers

05

Turn a 3D blockout into a photographic interior with FLUX.1 Krea image-to-image, then lower strength to keep the layout while linen, timber and daylight take over.

Krea questions

Turbo is the cheap, fast option for exploring composition and mood, while Large is the highest-quality Krea 2 text-to-image choice for final renders. Turbo is distilled for speed, so it has less fine detail. Large is slower and expensive, and it does not do reference-based editing.

Use Berry for final quality and Jam for fast iteration. Berry is also the only variant that reads a negative prompt, and Jam ignores it. Reasoning level applies to both: low or medium suits everyday work, while High and Ultra need reference images and cost more.

Use Krea 2 Turbo Style. Give it one image with a clear, consistent look, then describe your subject in a short prompt. Start style strength near 1 and raise toward 2 if the look is not coming through. Very high values can overwhelm your subject, and busy collages give muddy results.

Add up to 8 reference images and address them by order in your prompt, like "put the jacket from <image-2> on the person in <image-1>". Put the subject you want preserved first and say what to take from each tag. With five or more references the model may downscale them, so use fewer, cleaner images for fine product detail.

Not reliably. Small or dense text is unreliable, and vector logos, flat icons and exact brand reproduction are weak points. For copy-heavy layouts or posters needing accurate lettering, generate the image here and add type in a layout tool.

Krea AI makes them, and FLUX.1 Krea [dev] was developed with Black Forest Labs, first released on 2025-07-31. Its open weights are non-commercial unless separately licensed, so check licensing before using that model for commercial work.
