Where can developers use Krea 3?

Krea 3 is live on krea.ai and in the Krea API. Krea also lists fal, Hedra, Together AI, Nous Research, OpenRouter and Replicate as partners that serve the model, so developers can call it through a provider they already use. Enterprise teams can request access directly from Krea.

What are Krea 3's current limits?

Krea says Krea 3 is not real time yet: its fastest setup finishes an edit in about 4 to 5 seconds. The Krea team also wants more resolution for less compute, and it wants the model to understand more ways of asking, such as circled areas or instructions written on the image, which it is building training data for.

An editing-first image model that keeps everything you did not ask to change, at 2K in under 8 seconds.

What is it?

Krea 3 is Krea's new image model, and it is built around editing rather than first drafts. You ask for one change, such as new seating in a room photo, and Krea 3 changes that part while product labels, logos and the rest of the frame stay the same. Each edit can use up to six reference images.

How does it work?

Edits are generated at native 2K resolution. Krea's timing chart, built from median edit jobs on its platform between September 24 and October 1, 2026 including queue time, puts Krea 3 under 8 seconds, against 27 s for Nano Banana 2, 33 s for Nano Banana Pro and 90 s for GPT Image 2. The fastest setup finishes an edit in about 4 to 5 seconds.

Why does it matter?

Teams that edit product shots at volume pay for both waiting time and per-image cost. Krea's own example prices 100,000 edits a month at $6,000 with Krea 3. Because the model also ships through fal, Replicate, OpenRouter and other providers, developers can add it to existing image pipelines without a new vendor contract.

Who is it for?

designers, e-commerce teams and developers building image pipelines
