Draw a box and say what changes. Krea 3 redraws inside it and leaves the rest of the image as it was.

A young woman with wavy dark brown hair looks through vinyl records in a 1970s record store. She wears a camel suede jacket, a cream turtleneck, rust corduroy flares, and brown heeled boots. Around her are wooden record crates, a turntable on a walnut counter, a rubber plant in a terracotta pot, an orange shell chair, and framed abstract posters on wood panelling.

Pre-generated outputs, not a live benchmark. Krea 3 uses an illustrative playback time of 8s per edit. Nano Banana Pro uses 26.8s and GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst uses 39.9s: the median request-to-result time of each model's 12-image batch, including queue time. Each edit starts from the same original image. Each model loops continuously at its own pace. Costs are approximate USD list prices for 2K edits, excluding promotions. GPT Image 2.5 pricing is a draft estimate pending validation.

*Precision is the share of pixels outside the edit area left unchanged. One attempt per model, 2K, same image and prompt; Krea 3 in Precise mode. Outputs are compared at quarter resolution after the best alignment, so a different output size does not count as a change.

Frequently asked questions

What is Krea 3?

Krea 3 is Krea's new image editing model. It is built for production: product-consistent scene changes, object removal and variants at volume.

Is Krea 3 just a smaller model?

No. Krea 3 is a new model trained for editing. It is not a distilled copy of a larger model. It spends its compute on the region you change, not on the whole image.

How is Krea 3 so fast and inexpensive?

Most edits change a small part of the image. Krea 3 finds that region first and renders only what changes.

Are these prices temporary or subsidized?

No. The launch price is the list price. We expect it to go down, not up.

What is Krea 3 good at?

Best at product scene changes, object removal and photo cleanup.

Can I self-host Krea 3?

Yes, on enterprise plans. Krea 3 runs on your own GPUs in your cloud. Talk to us about license terms and hardware sizing.

How do I test it on my own images?

Send us one workload. We run it next to what you use today and share the outputs, acceptance rate and cost.

How do I get started?

Call Krea 3 through the Krea API, or try it in the Krea app today. For volume pricing, evaluate your workload with our team.
