Krea V2 Turbo API Documentation

Playground

Krea 2 Turbo is Krea’s 12.9B open-weights diffusion transformer distilled to 8 steps, generating aesthetic-first images natively at 1K to 2K resolution in seconds, with both text-to-image and image-to-image supported. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no cold starts, affordable pricing.

Features

Krea 2 Turbo is Krea’s first from-scratch foundation image model, released as open weights. The Turbo checkpoint is distilled to 8 sampling steps and generates images natively from 1K up to 2K resolution with the aesthetic-first look Krea is known for — no oversaturated, over-smooth “AI look”.

Why Choose This?

• Native 2K generation — 2048x2048 output straight from the model, no upscaler pass.
• 8-step Turbo speed — distilled inference engine; images in seconds.
• Aesthetic-first — trained for photographic realism and strong art direction.
• Text-to-image and image-to-image — pass an image URL to restyle or vary it, with strength control.
• Flexible aspect ratios — 15 presets from 1:3 to 3:1, plus vertical and widescreen formats.

Pro Tips

• Krea 2 responds well to photographic language: film stock, lens, lighting terms.
• For image-to-image, strength 0.4-0.6 keeps composition; 0.7-0.9 repaints more freely.
• 2K is generated natively by the model — use it for final assets; 1K for iteration.

Related Models

• Krea 2 Turbo LoRA — the same engine with LoRA support.
