Krea 2

Krea's foundation image model, built for full control over the look, feel, and creative direction of every output.

Overview

Where some models may flatten toward a polished, "safe" aesthetic, Krea 2 holds onto expressive and niche styles. Available in two versions:

• Krea 2 (faster, cheap, consistent)

• Krea 2 Pro (larger, rawer, stronger on photorealism).

Strengths for marketers

• Style transfer: Extract the style from one or several reference images and apply it to outputs, with per-reference strength control — the strongest system on the market for locking brand look.

• Moodboards: Pass in a moodboard of dozens of images and the model reads the overall direction — palette, texture, mood — applying it even to very simple prompts.

• Tunable creativity: A creativity parameter controls how far the model expands a loose prompt, from raw (literal) to high (full interpretation).

• Aesthetic diversity: Renders expressive, niche, and experimental looks without collapsing into a generic AI style.

Ideal use cases

• Brand-consistent art direction: Use style references to hold a consistent look across a full set of assets.

• Editorial & illustrative content: Strong on illustration, anime, and painting for content that needs character.

• Concepting & exploration: Take a loose direction and get back visuals that spark the next idea.

Weaknesses

• Resolution capped at 1K — for large-format or print, pair with an upscaling node.

• Not a typography model — for text-heavy layouts or precise lettering, route to a text-rendering specialist (Nano Banana, GPT, Seedream).

How to use effectively

Key principles

Krea 2 rewards art direction over prompt detail:

• Lead with a moodboard or style reference when brand consistency matters.

• Tune creativity to control expansion — lower it (or use raw) when you need the model to stick to your prompt.

• Don't over-specify. The model fills the gaps you leave; let it.
