How Krea works

From structured text descriptions to style reference matching, craft analog-grade imagery in three focused steps.

Define subject and palette

Define subject and palette

Describe your scene using physical material textures and lighting cues without adding generic quality booster keywords.

Tune creativity and references

Tune creativity and references

Attach an image style reference or adjust the creativity setting between raw prompt fidelity and expressive artistic nuance.

Render filmic imagery

Render filmic imagery

Generate high-fidelity stills with organic analog grain and natural depth across custom aspect ratios from square to 2.35:1.

What Krea is good at

Engineered to dismantle artificial generative sheen through organic textures, dual model foundations, and granular steering.

Tactile Analog Realism

Tactile Analog Realism

Eliminate plastic generative sheen with organic skin complexions, subtle 35mm grain, and naturalistic optical falloff across 10 to 50 inference steps.

Dual Engine Flexibility

Dual Engine Flexibility

Switch between the flagship 12B Krea 2 Diffusion Transformer for rich style references and the cost-effective FLUX.1 Krea base tier starting at 34.5 credits.

Controllable Creativity Dial

Controllable Creativity Dial

Calibrate prompt interpretation from raw literal adherence for specific objects to high creativity for dramatic environmental nuance and cinematic lighting.

Style Reference Transfer

Style Reference Transfer

Transfer intricate color palettes, historical film eras, and surface textures directly into new generations using image style references or targeted style LoRAs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Krea represents a broader generative model family that includes both the standalone Krea 2 architecture and the collaborative FLUX.1 Krea [dev] model. While Krea 2 is a custom 12-billion parameter Diffusion Transformer optimized for native style references and a creativity dial, FLUX.1 Krea [dev] is a 12B rectified flow transformer created with Black Forest Labs that supports open-weight workflows and custom style LoRAs.

Krea 2 is the flagship text-to-image engine featuring native multi-reference style transfer and an adjustable creativity dial, whereas FLUX.1 Krea is an open-weight foundation built on the FLUX.1 architecture. Krea 2 offers higher aesthetic steering and intricate style matching at 82.7 credits per run, while FLUX.1 Krea provides cost-effective baseline generation at 34.5 credits and supports external style LoRA integration.

Use the FLUX.1 Krea LoRA image-to-image variant when applying specific stylized aesthetic adapters to existing images, or the standard FLUX.1 Krea image-to-image variant for direct structure-preserving texture naturalization. If your workflow focuses purely on generating new compositions from scratch using reference images, the flagship Krea 2 text-to-image variant offers superior native style blending.

Krea is optimized for editorial portraiture, cinematic film stills, analog photography emulation, and texture-dense architectural renders. Its aesthetic signature emphasizes natural skin complexions, soft optical lighting falloff, subtle film grain, and rich physical textures over glossy, hyper-saturated digital fills.

Avoid Krea when you need flat vector graphics, minimal corporate iconography, or precise embedded typography and signage. The model's built-in analog texture and lighting gradients can interfere with clean vector lines, and it is not intended for ultra-high step counts above 40 steps.
