What is Krea?
Krea is a browser-based creative AI suite that generates, edits and enhances images, video and 3D objects. It gives designers and studios access to many third-party models alongside its own Krea 2 image model, plus real-time generation that updates as you type or draw, LoRA training and a node-based workflow editor.
Creative teams often juggle separate subscriptions for image models, video models and upscalers. It puts them in one workspace with shared compute units, so you can sketch in the real-time canvas, move a result into video, upscale it and keep assets organized in one place. Custom LoRA training and Krea Nodes let you lock in a style or build repeatable workflows, and an API serves developers.
