One creative playground for image, video and 3D — in real time

Most generative-media tools do one thing; Krea tries to be the whole studio, and largely pulls it off. Its signature is real-time generation — images update as you type or sketch, which turns prompting from a slot-machine wait into something that feels like drawing. Around that it stacks text-to-video, text-to-3D, upscaling, LoRA fine-tuning so you can train and share your own styles, and Krea Nodes, a visual node editor for building repeatable pipelines. That breadth is the appeal: instead of juggling separate subscriptions for each medium, you work from one canvas and one credit balance, and there's an API when you want to wire Krea into your own product. The trade-offs are the usual ones for a compute-metered platform — heavy use burns units quickly, the sheer number of models and modes can overwhelm newcomers, and its video and 3D outputs still trail the best dedicated tools in each category. Pricing is also rendered dynamically and moves with model costs, so plan around units rather than a fixed price. Even so, for creatives who want to explore across media in one fast, playful place, Krea is a standout — and worth recommending.

Best for

  • Creatives who want image, video and 3D in one place
  • People who value fast, real-time iteration over one-shot renders
  • Users training custom LoRA styles or building node workflows

Consider alternatives if

  • You want best-in-class video generation only (→ a dedicated video model)
  • You need predictable flat pricing rather than metered compute units (→ a fixed-seat design tool)

Supported Platforms

Web AppAPI

Available platforms include Web App and API.

Key Features

Real-time image generation that updates as you type or sketch
Text-to-image, text-to-video and text-to-3D in one workspace
Upscaling and enhancement to bring generations to higher resolution
LoRA fine-tuning to train and share your own custom styles
Krea Nodes — a visual, node-based workflow builder for pipelines
A developer API to build Krea's generation into your own apps

Pricing

free
A free plan gives about 100 compute units a day to try image, video and 3D generation with the standard models.
paid
Paid plans are metered by monthly compute units — roughly Basic ~5,000, Pro ~20,000 and Max ~60,000 units — with yearly billing saving about 40% and pricing in the ~$10–60/month range depending on tier and billing. The API is priced separately. (Verified against the official pricing page, 2026-07-28; exact dollar amounts are rendered dynamically, so treat figures as approximate.)

Use Cases

Creatives iterating on images live with real-time generation
Producing images, video and 3D assets from one subscription
Training LoRAs to lock in a brand or personal visual style
Building repeatable generation pipelines with Krea Nodes

Pros

Real-time generation makes iterating feel fast and playful
One tool for image, video and 3D instead of many subscriptions
LoRA training and Krea Nodes give real control and repeatability
Large, active user base (40M) and an API for developers

Cons

Compute-unit metering makes heavy use burn credits fast
So many models and modes can overwhelm beginners
Video and 3D outputs still trail dedicated best-in-class tools
Exact pricing is rendered dynamically and shifts with model costs

Latest Update

2026: Krea kept expanding its all-in-one creative suite — real-time generation, its in-house Krea models, video and 3D, LoRA training and the Krea Nodes visual workflow builder — while serving a user base it puts at around 40 million and offering a developer API.
