Krea
Real-time generation and upscaling with a fast, creative-led canvas.
Add Krea to your hut →Krea is a creative canvas where images generate as you sketch or type — with near-real-time feedback that makes iteration feel more like drawing than prompting. It also includes an AI upscaler and enhancer that adds sharp detail to low-resolution starting images.
Free plan available with daily limits. Pro from $24/mo. Primarily used by illustrators and concept artists who want a fast iterative loop rather than one-shot generation. Often compared to Adobe Firefly's generative fill for canvas workflows, but Krea's real-time generation is its unique differentiator.
