Krea 2 Turbo is a distilled, speed-optimized branch of the Krea 2 base model, whose core feature is significantly reducing generation time while maintaining a photographic look. It uses eight-step sampling rather than the usual dozens of steps, so a 1024px draft returns in about two seconds, with a 2K frame following shortly after. The base model is Krea 2, Krea AI's first image foundation model trained from scratch, a 12-billion-parameter diffusion Transformer. Trajectory distillation compresses generation to eight steps, allowing Krea 2 Turbo to reach about two-second 2K output while inheriting the base model's photographic characteristics. The model is released as open weights under a custom license, and this website wraps it as a browser-based AI image generator, with no need to configure a local GPU.
Main capabilities
- Fast text-to-image: eight-step sampling, a 1024px draft in about two seconds, followed by 2K output.
- Image-to-image refinement: input a reference image or a previously generated frame for guided adjustments, completing the draft-and-adjust loop in the same workspace.
- Krea 2 Turbo LoRA support: attach community or self-trained LoRAs as a bidirectional slider to control style, character, and materials; attaching them does not increase the cost of a single render.
- Photographic base behavior: derived from a 12-billion-parameter model trained from scratch for camera realism, with honest textures, natural depth-of-field falloff, and light behavior that follows optical laws.
- Resolution from thumbnails to 2K: render everything from small exploratory drafts to 2K finished pieces, with drafts and finished pieces in the same workflow.
- Open weights, portable output: released under a custom license that allows commercial use.
How to use
Open the workspace in your browser and log in. You can start without installing CUDA, ComfyUI, or a graphics card, and the free credits are enough to test whether the model fits your work. Prompts should use photographic language: state the subject first, then specify lens, distance, light source, and surface material, for example, "shot at 85mm, afternoon window light, matte ceramic." Use the speed to batch-generate multiple frames rather than polishing only a single prompt; lock in a seed you like and iterate by changing only one variable; once the composition is set, rerun the winning seed at 2K and export PNG, JPG, or WebP. Keep the prompt and seed so you can reproduce the same series of works.
Use cases
- Concept quantity exploration: generate forty compositions for the team to discuss direction before locking it in.
- Ad and product listing variants: batch-generate the same product against fifteen backgrounds, three seasons, and four aspect ratios.
- Unified brand style: use Krea 2 Turbo LoRA carries grain, color grading, characters, or materials, and lowers intensity within the series without rewriting the prompt.
- Studio-free photographic-grade frames: suitable for scenarios requiring quick drafts presentable to clients.
- Storyboards and concept art: eight steps are extremely low-cost, allowing weak beats to be regenerated while maintaining character consistency.
Limitations
The text mentions pricing: about $0.006 per 1024px render, with 2K at roughly four times that; paid plans are offered through monthly credits, accumulating with annual payment. The custom license allows commercial use, but open weights and unrestricted use are not equivalent; specific terms are subject to Krea's current license and should be reviewed before delivering to clients. Actual time varies with resolution, hardware, and queue depth. Other specific technical limitations, regional availability, refund policies, etc., are not currently provided.
