Krea
Real-time AI canvas with 60+ models under one subscription — draw and watch the image rebuild live.
About
Krea is an all-in-one AI creative platform whose signature is the Realtime Canvas: generation updates in under 50ms as you sketch, paint, or adjust prompts, so visual exploration feels like a Photoshop filter rather than a submit-and-wait generator. It aggregates 60+ image and video models (Flux, Veo, Kling, Runway, Ideogram, plus its own Krea models) under one account, and adds image upscaling (up to 22K), AI video generation, 3D assets, LoRA training for custom styles, and a node-based workflow editor for repeatable production pipelines.
The honest picture: the free tier gives 100 compute units per day with no commercial license, and premium models like Veo burn through units fast — heavy video work gets expensive quickly. Compute units don't roll over, so you must size plans to typical usage, and the API balance is separate from app-plan compute. With 30M+ users it's proven at scale, but the sheer breadth means individual tools are less deep than dedicated single-purpose apps.
