Editors' review
Real-time image and video generation — fast when the style is fixed
Krea is a canvas editor that generates images and video in real time. Holding a style reference constant while you iterate with prompts and sketches is what makes it feel different from a prompt box.
Pricing starts at $10/mo with a free tier. It runs a hybrid of open models such as SDXL and Flux, and commercial use is permitted.
For fine detail work, Magnific and Recraft are more specialised. Krea's value is a workflow built around producing a lot of output that all looks related.
Verdict
Faster than the alternatives when the job is producing brand visuals and social assets in one consistent tone.
