Text to image workflow
Krea 2 Turbo
Krea's own image model, trained from scratch for range. Ask for a film photo, a gouache painting or a travel poster, and each gets its own look.
By Krea·Krea 2 Turbo
Prompt
“A loose digital painting of an empty yellow tram climbing a steep cobblestone street in Lisbon at golden hour, pastel tiled buildings on both sides, laundry strung between the balconies, expressive visible brushstrokes, warm low sunlight and long blue shadows.”
What it does
Krea built Krea 2 for range of style. Its makers argue that most image models drift toward the same few default looks, so Krea 2 is trained to give each medium its own. Every picture below asks for a different one.
Photography
Name the film or the lens and it shoots in that look.
Prompt
“A medium-format film photograph of an empty roadside diner at night in the desert, a red neon sign reading "DINER" glowing above the door, a single pickup truck parked outside, wet asphalt reflecting the light, deep blue sky with the last trace of dusk. Kodak Portra 800 colors, film grain.”
Prompt
“In this macro photograph, a honeybee covered in pollen rests on the edge of a lavender flower, its wings catching the morning light, dew drops on the petals, soft purple bokeh behind it.”
Painting
Name the medium and it paints in it, down to the paper.
Prompt
“A gouache illustration of a small red fishing boat in a calm green bay, flat layered hills behind it, a white lighthouse on the point, chalky matte colors and visible paper texture, children's book style.”
Prompt
“A detailed ink and watercolor botanical illustration of a wild mushroom cluster growing from moss, fine crosshatched linework, muted earth tones, handwritten Latin labels in pencil, aged cream paper.”
Prompt
“A detailed digital painting of a vast desert canyon city carved into red sandstone cliffs, rope bridges and hanging gardens between the dwellings, a line of riderless pack camels resting on the valley floor, hazy late-afternoon light, epic fantasy concept art.”
Lettering
Put words in quotes and it letters them into the design.
Prompt
“A mid-century travel poster for a mountain railway, bold flat shapes, a red train crossing a stone viaduct between snowy peaks, limited palette of red, cream and deep blue, the words "ALPINE EXPRESS" in large blocky letters across the top.”
Write in full sentences and name the medium first: a film photograph, a gouache painting, a travel poster. Krea says long, detailed descriptions give the best results. It makes new images from text; it doesn't change a picture you already have.

The model
Krea 2 Turbo. The fast version of Krea 2, made for generating images. Its sibling, Krea 2 Raw, is the one meant for training add-ons.
What it needs to run
Krea doesn't publish what it needs. We run the compressed FP8 version ComfyUI recommends on a 12 GB RTX 4070 Ti with 16 GB of RAM, at about half a minute an image.
