Krea Enhancer
Prompt-guided creative upscaler inside Krea AI that sharpens images up to 8x while adding diffusion-generated detail you can steer.
About
Krea Enhancer is the upscale-and-enhance tool inside Krea AI's real-time creative platform. Unlike faithful upscalers that preserve every pixel, it is a creative enhancer: you can steer the result with prompts and negative prompts, tune AI strength, resemblance, and clarity, and pick style models to push the output toward photographic or painterly looks. The official page advertises upscaling up to 22K on paid plans, and hands-on reviews praise its fast real-time preview and seed locking while warning that aggressive settings can drift away from the original.
Krea runs on a compute-unit model: the free plan includes 100 units a day with limited upscaling, Basic is $9 a month, Pro $35, Max $105, and Business $200, all taken from Krea's official features page. It suits artists and designers who want guided, stylistic upscaling inside a broader generation suite rather than a forensic enhancement of photos.

Use cases
Trust score — 7/10
Scored 7/10 (verified tier, metrics-v1). Evidence: pricing ($9/$35/$105/$200, 100 free units/day, up to 22K) taken verbatim from krea.ai/features/ai-enhancer; creative-upscale behavior and parameter set confirmed by independent hands-on reviews. Strengths: official pricing page transparent, generous free tier, real-time preview, commercial license on paid plans. Docked for: (1) no published benchmarks; (2) creative upscaling can drift from the original, so it is not a faithful enhancer; (3) closed model with no standalone enhancer API. License: proprietary.
