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.

Three Krea 3 edits of one image, made with regional editing. Changed pixels are measured against the original.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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