Krea

Krea is a creative AI suite for generating, editing and upscaling images and video with many models, plus real-time drawing and LoRA training.

Krea brings many image and video models into one creative suite, including its own Krea 2 image model, FLUX 3, Nano Banana Pro for editing by typing, Seedance 2.5, MiniMax H3 and Gemini Omni Flash for video. Krea Realtime renders images as the user draws, the Krea Enhancer upscales images up to 21K, and other tools cover background removal, video upscaling, style transfer, motion transfer and text or image to 3D. Users can train LoRA models on their own images or videos, organise moodboards and assets, and build pipelines in a node editor. Krea Agent starts from template workflows such as product packaging, explainer videos or game cutscenes, and an MCP server lets other agents use Krea. Plans are based on compute units, from a free daily allowance to Basic, Pro, Max and Business tiers.
