Krea AI

About

Krea AI's party trick is speed. The Realtime Canvas generates images in under 50 milliseconds — fast enough that the output updates as you sketch shapes or type prompt words. It feels less like using an AI tool and more like painting with a very smart brush. Draw a rough circle, type 'planet,' and watch it morph into a photorealistic sphere with atmosphere and shadow in real time. Nothing else in the market offers this level of interactive generation. Beyond the real-time canvas, Krea aggregates over 20 image and video models including Flux, Ideogram, and its own proprietary Krea 1 model. Instead of subscribing to five different AI tools, you get access to the best models from a single dashboard. The platform supports native 4K resolution and over 1,000 preset styles, which means you can match practically any visual direction without writing complex prompts. The video module provides text-to-video generation, image animation, and video style transfer through partnerships with major video AI providers. The 3D generation feature converts text prompts or 2D images into 3D meshes — available on the Basic plan and above. This makes Krea one of the few platforms covering images, video, and 3D in a single subscription. Upscaling capabilities are genuinely impressive: up to 22K resolution for images and 8K for video. LoRA fine-tuning lets you train custom models on your own images — train it on a specific face, product, or visual style and it generates consistent outputs on demand. Pricing is competitive. The Free plan gives 100 compute units per day. Basic at $9/month unlocks 5,000 monthly credits, commercial license, and full image/3D access. Pro at $35/month adds video models and 20,000 credits. Max at $105/month includes 60,000 credits and 22K upscaling. The Business plan at $200/month covers up to 50 team members with one flat price — no per-seat charges. The main trade-off is depth vs. breadth. Krea offers access to many models but doesn't always have the latest version of each. Dedicated platforms like Midjourney or Runway often ship model updates faster. But if you value having images, video, 3D, and upscaling in one place over always having the newest model, Krea is hard to beat on value.
