Krea 3, Krea 2 and the Krea models
Krea makes a creative app and its own image models. Three are live on fal in October 2026: Krea 3, the 15 October release built for editing as well as generation at native 2K, and the Krea 2 Medium and Large tiers, which keep the creativity and style-reference controls Krea 3 does not have yet. Each runs our image prompts; only Krea 3 has an edit endpoint.

Every version
| Version | Released | What changed |
|---|---|---|
| Krea 2 Medium krea/v2/medium/text-to-image | Date not verified | Krea 2 Medium is the smaller hosted Krea 2 image model. It exposes creativity and style-reference controls for art direction. Style references guide appearance; they are not a targeted image-editing endpoint. |
| Krea 2 Large krea/v2/large/text-to-image | Date not verified | Krea 2 Large is the higher-priced hosted Krea 2 image model. The same creativity, aspect-ratio and style-reference controls are available on Medium, so the useful question is whether a particular image benefits from Large. |
| Krea 3 krea/v3/text-to-image | Editing and generation in one model at native 1K or 2K, berry and jam variants, reasoning levels for edits; $0.025 a megapixel on fal. No style references or LoRAs yet. |

It edits as well as generates, renders natively at 2K and follows prompts more literally than Krea 2 did on our tests. It does not yet support Krea 2's style references or LoRAs.
