About "Krea"

What is Krea

Krea (Krea AI) is a creative AI suite that handles everything from generating images, video, and 3D to enhancing and editing them, all in one place. Under the banner "the world's most powerful creative AI suite," it is notable for real-time generation, and lets you mix and match many third-party models (Flux, Google Imagen/Veo, Runway, Kling, Sora, etc.) alongside its own models (such as Krea 2) in a single interface. It is operated by Krea, backed by a16z and Bain Capital Ventures.

At its core, Krea lets you mix and match many models in one suite and go from generation to enhancement, editing, and training. It supports text-to-image/video/3D, real-time generation, upscaling up to 22K, background removal, and custom-style training (LoRA), so you can pick the best model for each task.

Krea's hallmark is "bundling many models." For images it offers Flux, Google Imagen, Ideogram, Nano Banana, Recraft, and more; for video, Google Veo, Runway, Kling, Seedance, Sora, and more; and you can also use its own Krea 2 / Krea 1 / Flux.1 Krea. Model versions are updated frequently.
