Krea is an AI image generation platform that released its first foundation model, Krea 2, in 2026. Unlike typical text-to-image generators, Krea 2 offers advanced creative control through style transfer (extracting style from up to 10 reference images), moodboards (anchoring to a curated aesthetic), and tunable creativity as an actual parameter. The model comes in two variants: Medium (smaller, faster, optimized for illustration, anime, and painterly styles) and Large (over 2x the size, stronger on photorealism and raw textures). Krea 2 supports multiple aspect ratios including 16:9 and 9:16. The platform offers an API starting at $0.030 per image for text-to-image Medium, scaling to $0.070 for Large with moodboards. A free tier is available through the web app with daily credits, and the platform also supports real-time generation and video capabilities.
