Krea 2 - Aesthetic Image ModelFull Creative Control Over Every Image
Krea 2 is trained to understand how images feel, not just what they contain. Give it any prompt and the output will be more stylish, more considered, and more visually alive. Built for creatives who care deeply about aesthetics.
Particularly Strong On
Built for Creatives. Designed for Control.
The Widest Creative Range of Any Image Model
Krea 2 makes compositional choices that serve the aesthetic, even when you did not specify them. A color grade that reads as golden hour. A depth of field that feels considered. A framing that feels intentional. These are not accidents. They emerge from a model trained to prioritize how an image feels, not just what it contains.
Transfer the Exact Look of Any Reference Image
Pass in one image or combine several, and Krea 2 extracts the visual style and applies it to your output. Control how strongly each reference shapes the result. It is the most precise way to communicate a creative direction without writing long prompts.
Ultra-Realistic Imagery of Humans and Animals
Krea 2 produces ultra-realistic imagery of people and animals with a level of detail and believability that other models rarely achieve. Skin texture, fur, feathers, muscle, and expression all render with natural depth, making it one of the strongest models for photorealistic subject work.
Two Models for Different Creative Needs
Both variants support the same parameters and feature set. The differences come down to model size, training stage, and the character of their outputs.
Krea 2 Medium
A smaller, faster, and more cost-efficient model with extensive post-training applied. Outputs are stable and consistent across generations. Medium is particularly strong on illustration, anime, painting, and expressive or artistic styles.
Krea 2 Large
More than twice the size of Medium, with softer post-training applied. This gives its outputs a rawer, more textured character. Large is the more powerful model overall and shines on photorealism and raw looks like motion blur, grain, and low dynamic range.
Krea 2 Examples
A selection of images generated with Krea 2 showcasing aesthetic diversity, style transfer, and creative range.
"A vase of oranges and two pomegranates rendered in a retro-futuristic Y2K cyber-aesthetic, characterized by hyper-reflective liquid metal and heavy airbrush textures. The central vase is constructed from elongated, razor-sharp tribal chrome tendrils and fluid, spiky cyber-sigilism shapes that interlock and sweep outward into sharp points. Nestled within the jagged metallic thorns are smooth, highly polished metallic orange spheres and two deep ruby-magenta pomegranate forms, all coated in a glassy, iridescent gloss. Blinding, multi-point white starburst lens flares erupt from the intense specular highlights across every sharp tip and curved spherical surface. The metallic fruit and spiky vessel sit against a smooth, stylized gradient backdrop transitioning from deep, saturated cobalt blue at the top to a hazy, neon cyan and magenta gradient at the base. The highly polished liquid chrome surfaces cast starkly mirrored reflections of the vivid pink and cyan environment, creating high-contrast chromatic edges. The rendering technique mimics early 2000s vintage 3D CGI artwork, saturated with a coarse, heavy film grain and a distinct digital noise texture overlaying the entire composition."
"Young woman crouching, massive black feathered headpiece, blunt bangs, black outfit, chunky platform boots, large dark spherical background structure with glowing green horizontal lights, nighttime, heavy horizontal motion blur, long exposure, avant-garde fashion photography, cinematic lighting"
"A buffalo, a giraffe, a zebra, a pig, and a lion gather in a rolling field, rendered in a surreal, vintage aesthetic defined by heavy, iridescent glitter textures and dramatic starburst lens flares. The animals are grouped together, their anatomical forms shaped by extreme chiaroscuro with velvety, pitch-black shadows and surfaces densely encrusted with microscopic, hyper-reflective sparkles. Dazzling, multi-pointed prismatic light bursts glint off the ridges of the buffalo's horns, the lion's mane, and the contours of the zebra, pig, and giraffe. The natural patterns of their coats are reimagined as luminous, tightly packed speckles of diamond-white, cream, and pearlescent pink light. They stand upon undulating terrain composed of soft, rounded mounds in deep rust reds, dark crimsons, and dusty pinks, entirely blanketed in a thick, grainy layer of shimmering particles. The background sky is a smooth, noisy gradient descending from a dark, melancholic navy blue into a muted, dark terracotta orange at the horizon. The overall rendering technique emulates a 1970s retro-futuristic fantasy illustration combined with a digital rhinestone collage, utilizing heavy film grain, a slightly soft-focus atmospheric base, and blinding, localized refractive highlights to create an ethereal, heavily stylized dreamscape."
"A gleaming metallic blue dagger diagonally pierces a stack of glossy red cherries with curving green stems, hovering above a reflective oval mirror. Set against a soft airbrushed background of pastel pink and yellow gradients, the retro pop-surrealist illustration features bright starburst highlights and smooth chrome shading."

Krea 2 FAQ
What is Krea 2?
Krea 2 is Krea's first foundation image model, trained completely from scratch to give users full control over the look, feel, and creative direction of every image they generate. It is built for creatives who want real control over AI-generated visuals, not just a fast way to produce generic output.
What makes Krea 2 different from other image models?
Krea 2 is designed specifically for aesthetic range. Most image models handle prompts well but default to something sharp, polished, and safe, which narrows the creative range. Krea 2 renders expressive, raw, niche, and experimental aesthetics without falling into AI looks. It ships with tunable creativity and advanced style transfer built in.
What are the two Krea 2 model variants?
Krea 2 comes in two variants. Medium is a smaller, faster, and more cost-efficient model with extensive post-training. It is particularly strong on illustration, anime, painting, and expressive styles. Large is more than twice the size of Medium and handles photorealism and raw looks like motion blur, grain, and low dynamic range at a higher level.
How does style transfer work in Krea 2?
Pass in one or more reference images and Krea 2 extracts the visual style and applies it to your output. You control how strongly each reference influences the result using a per-reference strength parameter. You can combine multiple style references for mixed aesthetics.
What is the creativity parameter?
Creativity controls how literally Krea 2 follows your prompt. Set it to raw and the model renders only what you have explicitly described. Set it to low for outputs close to the prompt. Set it to medium for a balanced default. Set it to high and the model adds aesthetic depth, style, composition, and visual richness where you have not specified.
What are moodboards and how do they work?
A moodboard is a group of images that share an overall creative direction, including palette, texture, style, mood, or composition. You can create one in the Krea webapp and reference it when you run inference through the API. Krea 2 understands the collective creative intent of the moodboard, producing outputs that align with it even from simple prompts.
