Krea V2 Turbo LoRA API Documentation
Playground
Try it on WaveSpeedAI!Krea 2 Turbo with LoRA support runs custom LoRAs (trained on Krea 2 Raw, comfy or diffusers naming) on the 8-step distilled Krea 2 engine, generating personalized images natively at 1K to 2K resolution, 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”. This endpoint adds LoRA loading: bring up to 3 LoRA URLs (trained on Krea 2 Raw; ComfyUI and diffusers/PEFT naming both work) and they are applied on the fly.
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
imageURL to restyle or vary it, withstrengthcontrol. - Up to 3 LoRAs — each with its own
scale; diffusers-format LoRAs are converted automatically. - Flexible aspect ratios — 15 presets from
1:3to3:1, plus vertical and widescreen formats.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| prompt | Yes | Text description of the desired image |
| resolution | No | 1k (default, ~1MP) or 2k (~4MP) total output pixels |
| aspect_ratio | No | One of 1:1 (default), 1:2, 2:1, 1:3, 3:1, 2:3, 3:2, 3:4, 4:3, 4:5, 5:4, 9:16, 16:9, 9:21, 21:9 |
| image | No | Source image URL; when set, runs image-to-image |
| strength | No | 0-1 (default 0.8); how strongly to repaint the source image |
| loras | No | Up to 3 {path, scale} objects; path is a direct safetensors URL |
| seed | No | Random seed; -1 for random |
Pricing
| Resolution | Cost per image |
|---|---|
| 1K | $0.018 |
| 2K | $0.03 |
Pro Tips
- Krea 2 responds well to photographic language: film stock, lens, lighting terms.
- For image-to-image,
strength0.4-0.6 keeps composition; 0.7-0.9 repaints more freely. - 2K is generated natively by the model — use it for final assets; 1K for iteration.
- LoRA
scalearound 0.8-1.0 is a good starting point; lower it if the style overpowers the prompt.

Task Submission Parameters
Request Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| prompt | string | Yes | - | The positive prompt for the generation. | |
| image | string | No | - | Optional source image URL. When provided, the model runs image-to-image from it; the output keeps the source aspect ratio. | |
| loras | array<object> | No | 0 ~ 3 items | List of LoRAs to apply (max 3). | |
| aspect_ratio | string | No | 1:1 | 1:1, 1:2, 2:1, 1:3, 3:1, 2:3, 3:2, 3:4, 4:3, 4:5, 5:4, 9:16, 16:9, 9:21, 21:9 | The aspect ratio of the generated image. |
| resolution | string | No | 1k | 1k, 2k | Total output resolution tier: 1k (~1 megapixel) or 2k (~4 megapixels, generated natively). |
| strength | number | No | 0.8 | 0 ~ 1 | Image-to-image strength (0-1). Higher values repaint the source image more freely. Only used when `image` is set. |
| seed | integer | No | -1 | - | The random seed to use for the generation. -1 means a random seed will be used. |
| enable_sync_mode | boolean | No | false | - | If set to `true`, the request attempts to wait for the generated result and return outputs in the same response. If the result is not ready within the sync wait window, the API can return a timeout body while the task continues processing. This option is only available via the API and is supported only by some models. |
| enable_base64_output | boolean | No | false | - | If set to `true`, the prediction's `output` strings are returned as **naked base64** (no `data:<mime>;base64,` prefix). When `false` (default), outputs are returned as URLs pointing to our CDN. |
