# Krea

> Image, video and 3D generation with real-time canvas and plugins

Krea brings its own models and many partner models, such as Nano Banana, Seedance, Veo and Kling, into one app for making and editing images, video and 3D objects. It adds a live canvas that renders as you draw, upscaling to very large sizes, custom LoRA training, a node-based workflow editor, and plugins for Photoshop, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Blender. Usage is paid in compute units.

## Ways to pay less

- **Save 40% on yearly individual plans** (Annual discount): Yearly billing takes 40% off Basic, Pro and Max (Pro falls from $35 to $21 a month) and 20% off Business. Source: https://www.krea.ai/pricing

## Key features

- **Many models in one place:** Krea's own image models sit beside partner image and video models such as Nano Banana, GPT, Seedance, Veo, Sora and Kling.
- **Real-time canvas:** Generates images as you type or draw on a live canvas, for fast iteration before a final render.
- **Editing and upscaling:** Change an image by describing the edit with the Krea 3 model, remove backgrounds, and upscale images up to 22K on paid plans, plus video upscaling.
- **LoRA training:** Train custom image or video LoRAs on your own characters, styles or products: up to 50 images per LoRA, or 2,000 on Max and Business.
- **Nodes and Krea Agent:** Chain models and steps in a visual node editor, save workflows as shareable apps, or brief Krea Agent to plan and iterate across models.
- **Plugins, API and MCP:** Plugins run Krea inside Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Blender, and a developer API and MCP server are offered.

## Good for

- Designers who want many partner models under one subscription
- Fast visual exploration on a live, render-as-you-draw canvas
- Small studios sharing one pool of units across up to 50 members

## Worth knowing

- Units on Basic, Pro and Max reset monthly and do not roll over; only Business and Enterprise carry unused units forward.
- Basic covers selected video models only; Veo, Sora, Kling and the other video models need Pro or above.
- After units run out, unlimited slower generation covers only supported in-house image models.
- SAML SSO, an SLA and IP indemnification are limited to Enterprise.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.8 out of 4**, graded Oct 17, 2026. Krea is a big box of image and video models with a live canvas that renders as you sketch, plus LoRA training and plugins for the apps designers already use. Basic is about $5 a month on yearly billing, one of the cheapest ways into this category. Veo, Sora and Kling need Pro at $21, though, and personal-plan units don't roll over.

- **Value for money: A.** Basic is $5.25 a month on yearly billing ($9 monthly) for 5,000 units, under 60% of this category's cheaper quarter. That's about 64 Nano Banana 2 images or 20 Seedance 2.0 videos a month, plus upscaling to 22K. Veo and Kling need Pro at $21.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** 100 units a day, refilled daily, with the live canvas, image and 3D models, LoRA training on 50 images and 2K upscaling. Video is off, though, and Basic's own figures put a Nano Banana 2 image at about 78 units.
- **Features: B.** Its own models plus Nano Banana, Seedance, Veo and Kling, a canvas that renders as you draw, editing, upscaling to 22K, LoRA training, a node editor, an agent, and plugins for Photoshop, Premiere, Resolve and Blender. Nothing core is missing.
- **Ease of use: C.** 4.49 from 689 App Store ratings, just under the 4.5 line. And with nodes, LoRAs, an agent and dozens of models, there's a fair bit to learn.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web and iPhone, plus plugins for Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Blender, an API and an MCP server. No Android or desktop app of its own.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Krea you would be making an image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 15 of the 21 other AI image and video generators we grade. It costs $63 a year.

- You could not: An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make.
- You could not: A video model, which you can rent by the second but not make.
- You could not: A real app for iOS. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro among them, and has an API.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
